At long last, Dan and Brian discuss Dan's favorite film of all time: the Tom Hanks-written, -directed, and -starring That Thing You Do!, a tale of a one-hit wonder band from 1964. Join as they talk through the band's rise and fall, it's loaded cast, its affection for small-time and big-time music scene, and the all-time great title track.
Coming soon: Dan and Brian's supplementary follow-up to deep dive on a handful of That Thing You Do! ephemera.
