Spencer Tweedy returns to Missing Frames to discuss his first ever viewing of Damien Chazelle's WHIPLASH, just in time for the film's 10th anniversary! (2024 also marks the ten-year anniversary of SUKIERAE, the brilliant album Spencer made with his dad, Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy.) As a drummer, Spencer has always wanted to see Whiplash, but has never gotten around to it. Shawn has been a fan of the film since its release, but it's been a minute since he last watched it. In their freewheeling discussion, Shawn and Spencer discuss whether Whiplash lives up to its esteemed reputation and the concept of pain and adversity as a necessity for making great art.
