Supersonic - Oasis with Brendan Dentino

10/15/24 • 80 min

Today's episode is on "Supersonic", a 2016 film about the trio Oasis, directed by Mat Whitecross

Our guest today is Brendan Dentino, an Oasis superfan who wrote the excellent article "The hope and selfishness of Oasis".

Supersonic is a chronicle of the band's rise right up to their triumphant shows at Knebworth in 1996 - and it ends exactly there. Like Liam Gallagher, we are living in an eternal 1996. Along the way, we learn about the benefits of taking a hammer to the head, explore "the Oasis brothers" and their respective personas, and we discuss the time Noel Gallagher popped into a pub in San Diego to watch some footie.

Not Not Jazz - Medeski Martin & Wood with Josh Frisch

Today's episode is about "Not Not Jazz", a 2024 film about the trio Medeski Martin & Wood, directed by Jason Miller.

Our guest today is Josh Frisch of the Dad Rocks podcast, which we were on years ago, and now we get to return the favor.

As you'll hear, there was a bit of confusion, as Andy ended up watching a different MMW documentary. But we made it work.

"Not Not Jazz" asks as many questions as it answers - when was it filmed? What happened to the music that was being recorded during the filming of the movie? Why is it coming out now? Is music really its own kind of language, man?

Listening to Kenny G with Franz Nicolay

Today's episode is on "Listening to Kenny G", a 2021 film about the saxophone colossus, directed by Penny Lane.

Our guest today is Franz Nicolay, multi-instrumentalist and composer, who records his own music and also is known from bands such as The Hold Steady. Franz' fascinating new book, Band People, features interviews with musicians who have made a career in the music industry, often outside of the spotlight.

Listening to Kenny G was released under HBO's "Music Box" series, which may no longer be a thing? The G man himself sat for extensive interviews and the film dispassionately explores what makes his music both appealing and controversial to audiences and music fans around the world. It's a rich text, and one could view Kenny as either the hero or villain of the movie.

Plus: Is Kenny G like Phish? Co-host Andy Keatts was unavailable for this episode, so he didn't get a chance to weigh in on this important topic, but we bat it around a bit anyway.
