    1957: ‘Round About Midnight, The Bridge on the River Kwai

    Our first foray into jazz and a classic WWII epic. Listen in to see how many different ways we can describe instrumental music. And, stay for our discussion on the topics of pride, duty and superiority. You’ll come away whistling the Colonel Bogey March. Jolly good!

    1945: The Hit Parade Top 10, Spellbound

    The year is 1945. As WWII comes to an end, big bands and crooners rule the radio waves. Cinema is offering audiences everything from war movies to musicals to film noir. For this episode we listened to the top ten songs on the hit parade for 1945 and we watched Alfred Hitchcock’s Spellbound. It promises to be a sentimental journey with some Dali-esque twists and turns. Recorded on Mar. 27th, 2022.

    2007: In Rainbows, The Diving Bell & the Butterfly

    The year: 2007. The movie: The Diving Bell & the Butterfly. The album: Radiohead’s In Rainbows. Falsetto…check. Reverb…check. Spacey guitar…check. And, is that French? Subtitles required! Did we blink once for “yes” or twice for “no”? Recorded on Dec. 11, 2021.

    1999: When the Pawn, The Mummy
