Max Silvestri's Spark Is Moonstruck

Comedian and writer Max Silvestri joins me to geek out over the classic Oscar winning romantic comedy Moonstruck. We talked about the tremendous performances from Cher and the late, great Olympia Dukakis and also discussed the film's perfect balance between sweetly sincere drama and broad comedy.  As an added bonus, we contrasted our Moonstruck chat with a little discussion on another of Max's favorites, Wes Anderson's The Royal Tennenbaums.Links:Max SilvestriMoonstruckThe Royal TennenbaumsTales Of The City This episode is supported by Before The Chorus and Factual AmericaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyThe Spark Parade is a podcast that dives deep into the films and albums that have inspired today’s creative icons.
