Welcome to the existential wormhole that IS [indistinct chatter]...a new regular Friday drop covering topical and episodic ephemera. THIS WEEK: "Judgement" at Nuremberg indeed; the Hershey biopic you knew you didn't need or want; despite reviews the Michael Jackson biopic will make billions; what do we think about when we think about songs and musicians that we love; Benn Jordan & Rick Beato; Jacob Collier and the collective humanity of improvisation and connection; the Redd Kross documentary and me learning that Redd Kross wasn't a metal band; Detective Hole on Netflix is pronounced 'Detective Hoo-leh' you dumb Americans; more Phil Collins-inspired wormholes; drummer's perspective mixing versus audience perspective mixing; ABACAB, Tom Sawyer, Mean Street, Rush and Van Halen; Michael Omartian and 'Aja'; limitations are what makes a genius artist truly original; and next week on the podcast: Micheal Mann's Miami Vice film reappraised. THANK YOU!
