Movies About Music - Ep8 The Fabulous Baker Boys
Channel: Mean Pomeranians
Date: 2022-01-17

Episode Description: Our New Years’ episode is a discussion of Steve Kloves’ movie The Fabulous Baker Boys from 1989. Our talk centers around the dynamic between Jack and Frank as the artist versus the gigging musician, and how this movie compares with Whiplash. This leads into discussions about different aspects of music performance: the corporate gigging life, the jazz aesthetic, and how the pandemic has negatively affected the psyche of the music performer. We also briefly discuss the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That….

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.
