57 - Whiplash - Full Metal Drumkit

If you want to make an omelette, you've got to break a few eggs. And if by "omelette" you mean "once-in-a-generation-genius-jazz-drummer" and by "a few eggs" you mean "aspiring music conservatory bros" (aka Miles Teller as Andrew Niemann) then 2014's Whiplash "breaks" them by having Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons as a sadistic and inexplicably respected conductor) force his students to practice the worst form of music known to man:Jazz. Wait...no, it's because he's an abusive a-hole... NOT because of the Jazz (but surely the Jazz doesn't help his case...). Sorry, Joshua wrote this intro and Jazz is NOT HIS TEMPO. Also, Paul Reiser is in this as a father who likes Raisenettes(TM) in his popcorn, so that's cool. Anyway, The Rabbit Fighters invite you to be neither an EFFING RUSHER nor a GD DRAGGER, and listen to this episode ON. OUR. EFFING. TIME.
