‘Music Movies’ with Special Guests Boots Riley & Ofa Fotu (Movie Squad Podcast Episode #4)
Everybody dance… now? In the fourth episode of the Movie Squad RTRFM Podcast, your musically-illiterate hosts Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler sit down for an hour-long chat with a true expert in sight and sounds, Ofa Fotu of Odette Mercy and Her Soul Atomics, to discuss their favourite “music movies”. That wide-ranging topic includes everything from musicals, music documentaries, movie soundtracks and more. (Some of Ofa’s faves: The Wiz, Dawn of the Dead, The Bodyguard and… Demolition Man.) Then, Tristan interviews musician-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley about his rollicking new satire Sorry to Bother You! The Movie Squad Podcast: It’s the only place you’ll get a thoughtful discussion of Kevin Costner’s musical talents and a dramatic reading of scenes from Vanilla Ice’s tour de force Cool As Ice.
