This week on End Credits, we're back! Good thing Hollywood is so royally messed up due to several months of strike action last year that we haven't missed much!! So in our first episode back we're going to check one of this year's big Oscar nominees, Maestro, and we're going to go back in time to re-visit an Oscar-nominee from 40 years ago, Footloose (you read that right).
This Wednesday, February 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:
Footloose at 40! It's old versus young, rock 'n' roll versus classical, avant garde versus traditional. It's Footloose! Released 40 years ago this week, the Herbert Ross movie sees Kevin Bacon as Chicago transplant Ren, who arrives in small town America where dancing's against the law. Ren wants to use his fancy feet but a town full of small minds stand in his way, and a cinema classic is born. But now, four decades later, we wonder how Footloose shakes out.
REVIEW: Maestro (2023). You may not know the name Leonard Bernstein, but his impact on music in the mid-20th century is undeniable. He brought classical music to kids in New York, he wrote the score for On the Town and West Side Story, and he was a master of the art of orchestra conducting. In fact, Bernstein was such a master he stymied two of them when it came time to tell his story - Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese - so it falls to Bradley Cooper and his eternal search for Oscar glory, to do the Maestro right. So did Cooper deliver a masterpiece, or a flop?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
