In this week’s episode, music is front and centre as our guest, musician, songwriter, podcaster and deadly human, Senita Appiakorang, is the last one to see ALMOST FAMOUS.
We catch up on the dents Kate and David have made on the award season (and not so awards season) watchlist, talk 70s fashion, groupie culture, what the music world is like now vs when the film was made vs when the film was set, fan/celebrity access, the incredible cast, the role of music journalism and Frances McDormand’s assertion as her character, Elaine Miller, that Simon and Arfunkel’s eyes on the cover of Bookends are a giveaway that they’re stoned.
