Episode 86: Baby Driver (with author and historian Kevin M. Kruse, co-editor of Myth America: Historians Take on the Biggest Lies and Legends About Our Past)
Manage episode 366219603 series 2973706
Today on Soundtracker, I'm joined by historian, author, and Professor of History at Princeton Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse on Twitter and kevinmkruse.bsky.social over on Blue Sky) to talk about Edgar Wright's musical-action-ballet BABY DRIVER. And we're changing up the format a little on this one, since the music is so crucial to the movie. So join us, as we talk about the care and thought put into the choreography of every action scene, how Wright's on-the-nose music cues in certain scenes actually work in this context, the iPod, what a charming guy John Hamm is, and a whole lot more.
