This week we cross examine a pair of films featuring musicians in speaking roles.
After small town lawyer Paul Biegler loses his reelection for DA, he spends his time quickly burning through his savings and fishing. When Mrs. Manion asks he defend her Army Lieutenant husband, who is charged with murdering an innkeeper, Barney Quill. Lt Manion claims he doesn't have any memory of the event. The first revisionist legal drama and another of Otto Preminger's most aggressive works pushing back against taboo and censorship, Anatomy of a Murder.
The Relentless, a pan-Atlantic rock band, come together under the charismatic leadership of Johnny Faust. The band begins having strange run-ins with a many who claims he just might be The Devil and will make them the biggest act on Earth for the outrageously reasonable price of a single human sacrifice. Soon they find themselves on top of the charts and connected to a massive outbreak of extreme violence. The second feature from Ash Avildsen, the founder of Sumerian Records and featuring a score by Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, American Satan.
All that and Craig forgets and Dave endures and Kevin lives in blissful denial of the same thing while Tyler shouts love from the void. Join us, won't you.
