Cinematic Songs: The Lyrical Genius of Bob Dylan

No matter how you feel about Bob Dylan, you cannot deny his songwriting skill. In this episode, Gary discusses three songs that illustrate Dylan’s ability to create clever rhymes and tell stories with vivid, cinematic lyrics.

A Complete Unknown (2024)

HOW DOES IT FEEL........ HOW DOES IT FEEL........ TO BE LISTENING........ TO ANOTHER EPISODE........ ABOUT A COMPLETE UNKNOWN...... uhhh LIKE A ROLLING STONE. I can't rhyme, it's not my gift, I confess. But yes, we are talking about James Mangold's biopic about Bob Dylan and why we think it shines. So kick back, put on some shades as we talk about one of music's greatest enigmas.

Twisters Cinematic Universe (1996 & 2024)

WE GOT TWINS....... TWINS!!!! Or, more accurately, we've got a two-for-one deal in this episode. That's right, we're covering the 1996 classic alongside this year's sequel (?). So buckle up and keep an eye on your cows...... it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Cinematic Songs: Question by The Old 97s

On today’s episode, Gary discusses “Question” by the Old 97s. It is a sweet, acoustic alt-country song about a question that you should ask or say “yes” to once in your life.

12 Angry Men (1957)

WE'RE BACK! It's been a minute, but we're here! And what better way to return than to discuss Sidney Lumet's timeless courtroom drama, 12 Angry Men! So sit down with us, as we discuss our love for a film about a bunch of men screaming at each other for 96 minutes (and it just might be the best film ever made).
