Power Ballad: John Carney's Overdue Oscar Shot

from Beware of Spoilers · host Adam Taylor and Peter

John Carney is back in wide release for the first time since Sing Street, and Power Ballad might be the movie that finally gets him the Best Original Song nomination the Academy has owed him for a decade. We get into Paul Rudd's quietly devastating turn as a wedding singer whose song gets stolen, Nick Jonas as the surprise of the film, the structural problem that keeps it from a perfect score, and why Taylor Swift and Toy Story 5 might wreck his Oscar run anyway.Preorder Succession Planning where ever you get ebooks here:https://books2read.com/u/bzE9g9
