Two movies. One episode. Several Talking Heads.
In their first ever double-feature episode, Nick and Brennan discuss Jonathan Demme’s STOP MAKING SENSE (1984) and Spike Lee’s AMERICAN UTOPIA (2020), two of the greatest concert films of all time and certainly some great purveyors of unhinged David Byrne antics. Nick and Brennan talk about their favorite songs from each film, Brennan's experience seeing American Utopia live on Broadway in 2021, and the lasting legacy of Talking Heads' music--and David Byrne's big suit.
