Episode 169 - Whiplash

Our series on musicians is coming to an end, and we cap it off with Damien Chazelle's 2014 film about drive and talent, Whiplash! We discuss what it means to be content vs motivated, the JK Simmons role that not everyone may remember, how the film reminds us of Taxi Driver and Full Metal Jacket, and why perfection and pleasure are not on the same planet. Also: The Devil Wears Tight Black Shirts! Funny little hats! Bloody drums! Check it out!
