This week @weheardwonders take a trip to the movies discussing the good, the bad, the ugly and best-in-show in the genre that is The Music Biopic! Joining Iain and Andrew to separate the Hits from the Misses, the Curios from the Admirable Failures is film enthusiast and expert in American cultural studies, Fraser McCallum. We identify and dissect the top tropes used in the telling of so many of these often-mythic tales of rock’n’roll excess (from Ray and Walk The Line to Bohemian Rhapsody and Elvis), as well as considering the artsier, more idiosyncratic (Nowhere Boy, I’m Not There) and endearingly scrappy, British (24-Hour Party People, Good Vibrations) ends of the genre. Shout-outs are also given to some of our favourite not-quite-biopics. We would love to hear from you, dear listener - do you agree with our analysis? What are your go-to music biopics? Which ones did we miss out? And what would you like to hear us discuss next?
