If there’s one thing the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, know, it’s well-crafted movies. What they might not know much about it, among plenty of other topics, is the history of the American classical music scene. Netflix presents Bradley Cooper’s angular biopic Maestro with the challenge of asking how much homework on an unknown topic a viewer wants to do before the movie versus how much is needed after.
For their 141st episode, two classical film critics, two chain-smoking dads, and two rapturous teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, stay in the Netflix stream and step up from last week’s Zack Snyder crap to an Oscar contender of pedigree. This week, we talk about Maestro, written, directed, produced, and starring Bradley Cooper. Don was able to share has Hollywood access to the film as the guys compare the film’s chances for appreciation and Oscars. Come for the shared challenge and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
