Song Sung Blue

from Movies with My Dad Hosted by Tina Kakadelis

Episode 69: Song Sung Blue This week we took a trip back to Wisconsin in the late ’80s and met up with the locally famous Neil Diamond tribute (or should we say interpretive) band Thunder and Lightning. The title sequence says this is based on a true story, but it feels like an over-the-top Hollywood portrait that’s a bit too loose with the facts. Tina learns that she isn’t much of a fan of Neil’s music and Stratis doesn’t give Hugh Jackman a lot of love as the lead singer. We both thought Kate Hudson’s portrayal was wonderful and that perhaps the movie should have focused on her instead. If you’d like to roadtrip to the Badger State, hop in! We promise not to drive into anyone’s living room. Instagram Blue Sky Letterboxd Facebook YouTube Music - "Extra Fries" by The Fly Guy Five/Epidemic Sound
