Movies About Music ep7 - White Christmas
Channel: Mean Pomeranians
Date: 2022-01-13

Episode Description: We call an audible for our seventh episode and discuss the closest thing to a Christmas movie-about-music we could think of: Paramount/Michael Curtiz’s holiday classic ‘White Christmas.’ We marvel at the stellar singing of Crosby and Clooney, the inimitable dancing prowess of Vera-Ellen, and the still-fresh comedy of Danny Kaye. In this wide-ranging episode, we also riff on a variety of topics: our own musical lives lately, collective jingle-writing, and CeCe’s longing for a proper male crooner in today’s music milieu. We also talk briefly about the Peter Jackson Beatles documentary ‘Get Back,’ and share our recently recorded cover of the Christmas gem ‘Fairytale of New York’. The song can be accessed at: https://youtu.be/tN77z2UWM-U 

Show Notes: CeCe Kim and James Batcho discuss movies that have music as the main narrative element. CeCe is a professional singer, songwriter and voice actor. 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.
