121 - Tommy
from Games on Film Hosted by Games on Film
Podcast wizards Harry and Rory are joined by musician David Lightfoot of rock band The Fades, as they discuss the Ken Russell movie version of The Who's rock opera Tommy! With an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margaret, Oliver Reed, Eric Clapton, Elton John, and Tina Turner, Tommy follows the titular "deaf, dumb and blind kid" through his traumatic childhood before he discovers a talent for pinball and becomes a cult leader in the process. But beyond its iconic Pinball Wizard song and sequence, is there enough pinball action to keep the gamers watching? And will we sing Tommy's praises or will it fall between the flippers? This podcast contains SPOILERS for Tommy (1975), from 32:00.
