48:32 - 1:12:23 - Malcolm in the Middle

The Extended Clip Month of Music keeps on rambling, country style. We talk about Coal Miner’s Daughter, the 1980 drama about the life and times of Loretta Lynn. Moving beyond the director's 30 Rockian filmgoraphy and the flaws and virtues typical of the musical biopic, we get deeper into the genre of country. Outlaws, clean-cut kids, and the intergenerational conversation of songwriting within the genre.

Then, on Malcolm in the Middle (48:32), Malcolm finally catches up with Asteroid City. we all get into Wes’ current standing as a filmmaker, his challenges and expectations, and the particular pleasures of his new release. JT keeps the music rolling with A Poem is a Naked Person, which sees Les Blanc documenting Leon Russell. Then, the quality of music and cinema alike take a long walk off a short cliff, as Eddie gets into KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. when the roller coaster footage is the best part of your rocksploitation film, you’ve got a major problem.
