#75 – The Third Man (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon and Andy find themselves in a dither over Anton Karas' zither score for the 1949 noir classic The Third Man. Does this music perfectly capture the particular pathos of post-War Vienna, or is it silly and obviously wrong? How did the opportunity of a lifetime fall into Karas' lap? And, seriously though, what's the deal with this music?
#74 – The Hours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hear Jon and Andy go on and on, over and over and over and over again, about Philip Glass’ score to the 2002 literary drama The Hours. How does Glass' minimalism resonate with the movie's repeating and interwoven timelines? What is it implying about life and death? And, is it cheating?
