Mozart And Me

No doubt everyone has heard of the new musical called La La Land. Scoring a mind-boggling 7 Golden Globes and 14 Oscar nominations, this contemporary love letter to old Hollywood musicals is among the top performing movies of all time. But this is totally unexpected because we were all starting to think that musicals are a thing of the past. But the music of this movie literally takes you to La La Land, where you grow wings to dream and pursue ideals. But, not everyone felt this way about La La Land. As soon as any successful movie hits a critical level of mass-approval, you can literally start the whiplash countdown. It awakens a certain type of cultural journalism which feels like it needs to deconstruct any successful enjoyable work for everything it didn't do. In this episode, you'll be introduced to the controversy surrounding the movie, who does Sebastian, played by Gosling, represent, and you'll be introduced to the soundtrack composed by Justin Hurwitz.
