Episode 169: Stop Making Sense vs. American Utopia


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Wyndham and Jeremy talk David Byrne and compare his two seminal concert films: 2020’s American Utopia and 1984’s Stop Making Sense about Talking Heads. They discuss their discovery of Talking Heads, how David Byrne has managed to stay not only relevant but iconic throughout his career, and break down how each film manages to capture the energy and excitement of Byrne’s performances—even for concert film skeptics like Jeremy. And of course, the famous suit.


If you’re a fan of the films or just want to revisit some great David Byrne hits, take a spin through our “Stop Making Sense vs. American Utopia” playlist on Spotify.
