This week on The Seat Struck Movie Podcast, John and Curtis (who are unfortunately Quinn-less for the next two weeks!) chat about the 1991 Irish musical classic: THE COMMITMENTS. First ,John talks about why he loves this selection so much and goes over the history and production behind the film. We then discuss the movie in detail and talk about our favourite songs, what worked and didn't worked, and if we like this one better than Sing Street. We wrap up with giving our reviews and final scores.
Next, we discuss what we watched this week. Stay tuned for next episode where we try not to mark up our blue suede shoes as we chat about the next John Carpenter film, the made-for-TV ELVIS biopic.
