Channel: Mean Pomeranians
Date: 04/01/2022

Episode Notes (air date Nov 1, 2021*): For our fourth episode, we discuss Mr. Holland’s Opus, directed by Stephen Herek. We talk about the white man’s journey, a familiar theme in movies from this era, the student/teacher dynamic in the arts, music education, and the value of education in our techno-capitalist era. Finally, the hosts, who are neither parents nor young people, give unsolicited advice about parenting and being young.

James is a professor, drummer, recording engineer and film theorist. Taking a particular film as a launching point, they talk openly about how the lives of musicians are portrayed in cinema, and the cultural and social aspects at play in popular movies about music.
