SEASON X EPISODE X: SIDE HUSTLE: UNDER THE CHERRY MOON and TRUE STORIES.
Kierkegaard said: "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." Such is the tale of Prince, hot off the heels of starring in Purple Rain (1984), taking directorial duties on UNDER THE CHERRY MOON (1986) a black and white historical musical romance that must be seen to be believed. We are joined by songwriter, podcast theme writer Ryan and Streep season veteran Andi to discuss one of the most deliciously disastrous directorial debuts of all time! Prince is one of the great singer/songwriter/performers of the the last century and he proves conclusively that being a great musician in no way translates to any skill behind a movie camera. Cherry Moon is a buffet for lovers of creative implosions. Prince, as Kierkegaard would have possibly hoped, moved forward as fast as he could from this film and ignored any understanding from its making other than never making another film again.
Then Andi taps out for regular co-host Ken for TRUE STORIES (also 1986), Talking Heads lead David Byrne's peculiar musical mosaic about life in a small Texas town. Ken, Ryan and Thomas are all big Talking Heads fans (no surprise) and put this in perspective of his entire career. It's a fun movie. John Goodman lip syncs and dances. Shut up.
SPECIAL NOTE: This was recorded the week before the Talking Heads announced they were appearing together in a discussion on stage in Toronto for a remastered showing of their seminal concert film Stop Making Sense (1984). We won't say we had any influence on the band finally agreeing to appear together but the timing lines up.
We go deep into the discography of both musicians as well as tear apart and build up their respective films.
Big Suit vs Purple Sequins.
