Episode 47: Chris Steberl - "Amadeus"
Director Milos Forman is in rare company with two Best Picture films. Moving Music now looks into his 2nd, "Amadeus". No matter the century, time offers proof that some are just simply born with it. Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart could imagine, interpret, and then paint fantastical pictures for...

Episode 46: Jimmy King - "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory"
Those born after us believe the restrictive experience of 3 TV sources to be ridiculously arcane. In that world, you watched the calendar for certain traditional viewings. "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" was the mother lode event for many. It has signaled the start of "the holidays" each…

Episode 45: Joe Viers - "Waiting for Guffman"
Sometimes you just have to laugh. When it's all going crazy or wrong, a bit of humor can prove proper medicine. With "Waiting for Guffman", Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy present a film that produces snot bubbling giggles through its entirety. Using a mockumentary style, they allow hilarious...

Episode 44: Bill Foley - "Glory"
"Glory" is a pertinent choice for Bill Foley's 2nd film. They're both great, but first I have to deal with the pandemic and racial controversies in the room. I habitually push through trauma and drama in real time, then deal. However, this routinely reflective rehab is in my current face.…

Episode 43: Sean Carney - "Dracula (1931)"
In 1931, talking pictures had found their monster voice with Bela Lugosi as "Dracula". The combination of his visual style and speech cadence helped lift his vampire off the screen. Many believe this iconic performance was the best of his life. I had seen Sean Carney play multiple times and...

Episode 42: Will Newsome - "Xanadu"
Xanadu? Yes, Xanadu. Even as a huge glorious flop, it still influenced the early 80's style. For kids, this film seems like another world, animated and glowing. After we agree it's not a great movie, the adult in us can look past the circus to see the lesson. It's a teaching spectacle that…

Episode 41d: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
It was September 2016 and I had been wrestling with myself all summer. I couldn't crack the combination to my own mind. Only when I cut myself out did the door to Moving Music open. These are stories that belong to other people. I realized my part was to be the steward of the diary, not the…

Episode 41c: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
As we round 3rd base towards home in this retrospective, I am reminded of all the tragedies we pushed through in these last 2 years. At times, it was our developing Moving Music fraternity that gave us focus. Jimmy Mak shares his love of writing for the laugh, Matt Mees explains "The Righteous...

Episode 41b: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
This discovery continued through our next 5. Our identity evolved as our process shifted. There were real growing pains as we, at times, fought the changes. Moving Music was now in new territory without a map. We laughed and cried our way to an understanding. Jennifer Milligan helped us feel for...

Episode 41a: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
These episodes yielded the vision that would start our evolution. It didn't come easy, but we recognized something was happening here. As we look back over our last 2 years, I feel overwhelming gratitude for how these artists entrusted Moving Music. While each has a connection to their film…

Episode 40: Kelly Bowman - "Sling Blade"
Not often does a script deliver like "Sling Blade". Some messages in the film are obvious, while others require multiple screenings. The genius of the writing is its simplicity. The complication is the audience. I won't spoil it here, but just try not finding yourself somewhere inside the…

Episode 39: Mark Rhodes - "The Jerk"
In the summer of 1982 I was playing Atari when I heard grand laughter coming from the living room. Not wanting to miss out on the joke, I ran into the room to find everyone in stitches and "The Jerk" on HBO. The original Saturday Night Live cast were comedy pioneers, and many, like Steve Martin,...

Episode 38b: Dr. Phill Wilson - "Spartacus"
Stanley Kubrick is the Holy Grail for most modern film makers. It has been said that one of his films is like ten from any other director. The film of our focus, "Spartacus", furthered his reputation for being meticulous and unrelenting. This gladiator turned freedom fighter story influenced many...

Episode 37b: Matt Mees - "The Wizard of Oz"
PART 2 In 1939 Hollywood had its greatest year. Ten years into The Great Depression, the population had a grand love affair with a movie that journeyed beyond reality. Through the years, it has been proven timeless as a children's story, a philosophical metaphor, and as a musical influence. To…

Episode 36: Jimmy Mak - "Horse Feathers"
What's funny? It's subjective, right? Before television, before movies, traveling vaudeville acts carried the same humor from coast to coast. When motion pictures (later with sound) showed up, these acts became recorded history. The Marx Brothers packaged their brand of vaudeville humor inside…

Episode 35: Missie Tong - "The Decline of Western Civilization part 2: The Metal Years"
I would race home after school to watch a half hour of 80's metal music on MTV every day. The REAL good stuff was on a weekend night going into the morning hours. I saw some of the most amazing music videos of my life. Then, out of nowhere, 80's metal seemed to "jump the shark". The sound, the...

Episode 34b: Bill Foley - "Gettysburg"
PART 2 It has been said the hardest fought battles are those among brothers. By mid-19th century America this national sibling scrap reached fever pitch. In 1993, "Gettysburg" was the most ambitious attempt to depict the battle that changed the tide of our Civil War. I watched it on the big…

Episode 33b: Joe Viers - "The Shawshank Redemption"
PART 2 Hope through hopelessness can mean the difference between life and death. Those who give hope and help to others are among our best. "The Shawshank Redemption" is such a story. While poorly received in the theaters, it became the next year's video rental hit. It rose to the top as the...

Episode 32: Robert McFarland - "Back To The Future"
1985 was the summer of MTV. The "Pepsi generation" celebrated the heat with Miami Vice, Live Aid, and an unprecedented number of music video styled films. Released on July 3rd, the music of "Back to the Future" had claimed its summer soundtrack role. With a mix of wondrous technology, pop music,...
-
Episode 31: Jennifer Milligan - "The Fifth Element"
Martin Scorsese talked about film makers, at times, smuggling social messages within their work by artistic design. In 1997, Director Luc Besson crafted such an effort. "The Fifth Element" flew under the radar and served a commentary purpose questioning war and corporate culture. Each viewing...
-
Episode 30: Paul Cunningham - "The Crow"
We continue our quest for what happens when we die with this episode. "The Crow" furthers my romance with the role of the revenant; a soul that was put down so brutally that it cannot rest until things are set right. Known for the tragic loss of actor/martial artist Brandon Lee during production,...
-
Episode 29: Jason Kroninger - "The Lost Boys"
In the heat of the 1987 July sun, "The Lost Boys" came to the theater. Dripping with MTV swagger, it melted screens nationwide, while continuing a string of successful, '80's music video influenced films. That same year, I had become a very pop culture aware future Ft. Hayes student. While…

Episode 28b: Eric Gnezda - "The Sound Of Music"
PART 2 Who hasn't seen "The Sound of Music"? It's on TV several times a year on multiple networks. In fact, this Sunday, it's being re-released in the theaters. Did you sing the songs in school? Maybe you got a part in your High School play. What could be more iconic than this film etched into…

Episode 27: Jess Hanks - "Audition"
Every once in a while you see a movie that grabs you and burns its way through your mind. "Audition" is one of those films for me. I hadn't seen it until now and I know I won't forget it. It's a Japanese love story that turns into a psychological thriller, which takes a horror twist, just to end…

Episode 26: Shaun Booker - "August Rush"
Sometimes we find needed inspiration from the most simple of concepts. Music connects us. That is the comforting truth that the film "August Rush" carries. With an "Oliver Twist" like tale, we go through a child's journey to find his parents, and the parent's journey to find purpose. In 2007…

Episode 25b: TC and Ty - First Year Retrospective
Part 2 In October of 2016, I reached out to an old Ft. Hayes brother about a project I had wrestled with for over a year. Ty Barnes and I sat down to discuss what would become Moving Music. We now come together to examine how this idea has evolved. In two parts we review and celebrate our first...

Episode 24: Elliot Twelvetrees - "Wings of Desire"
In 1998 the film "City of Angels" told the story of an angel who shed immortality in favor of the woman he was guarding. Unaware it was a remake; Moving Music brings me the original. Set in Germany before the fall of the wall, we follow this angel into an awakening, as he indulges his "Wings of...

Episode 23: Bob Hite - "Boyhood"
Every once in a while somebody comes up with an amazing, unique idea for a movie. Richard Linklater designed such an effort by filming the story of a child's broken home life for 12 consecutive years. The crew and cast signed on for the duration. Continuity in actors and technical aspects assist…

Episode 22: Chuck Oney - "The Warriors"
The drive-in played kids movies first, and then the "grown up" movie would show. From the backseat of the car, while I pretended to sleep, I caught glimpses of a movie I wasn't supposed to see. This tale of a gang, fighting their way back home astonished me. In future years, it became a film I...

Episode 21: Donna Mogavero - "Secretariat"
Every Kentucky Derby begins with the hope for a Triple Crown winner, of which there have only been 12. The greatest of these may very well have been Secretariat. I am a romantic about the sport, and have great affection for the horses involved. Behind Secretariat's immense heart is a resilient…

Episode 20: Will Freed - "Crossroads"
The concept that a deal with the devil could lead to fame and fortune, based on talents lent to you, is not new. Hollywood has done it many ways at various times in cinematic history. However, with the soundtrack efforts of Steve Vai, Ry Cooder, and Arlen Roth, this one is noteworthy.…

Episode 19b: Todd Greer - "U2: Rattle and Hum"
PART 2 There were few theatrically released concert films in the 1980s, and none that were embraced like U2's "Rattle and Hum". While watching the trailer in the theater, I got the same goose bumps Todd Greer recalls and had to see it upon release. It was pure bliss, even to this heavy metal…

Episode 18: Andy Kuhar - "Singles"
How did you meet the love of your life? Are you still seeking? Did you love someone just to find out they were not "the one"? What kind of comical events or crisis brought you to know a personal connection? Is there really someone for everyone, and how do we find that one soul that completes us?...
-
Episode 17: Tom Harker - "The Ukulele Man"
To say Moving Music was affected by the passing of Tom "Ukulele Man" Harker would be understating reality. You never anticipate editing words from a person no longer around to hear it in the body. We took a week off to breathe and think. What we came up with, we believe, is appropriate and tender...
-
Episode 16: Tom Harker - "Five Easy Pieces"
It has been said, each one of us has a gift. These endowments are unique and just as an orchestra collaborates to yield great music, so it should be in our daily encounters. This film, "Five Easy Pieces", illustrates one man's struggle to see his gift as a gratuity rather than a cursed burden.…

Episode 15b: Will Newsome - "Eddie and the Cruisers"
PART 2 Chances are you have been affected by an artist that burned out, rather than faded away; the bright promise of a star that quickly emitted too much light. The pain kept within an artist that influenced the rise can assist in the fall. But what happens when an artist is smothered by...

Episode 14: Trace Marie - "What Dreams May Come"
What happens when we die? Death will come to us all, so I am sure the answer has interest. Many look to religion and faith for answers, while others insist on scientific enlightenment. The truth is nobody really knows until you get there. How does suicide affect that path? Introduce that to the...

Episode 13: Brendan Michna - "The Hudsucker Proxy"
It is said that American corporate hierarchy views it as fertilizer that's good for growth, but often it's really crap that stinks. True artists are rarely comfortable in such environments. Every company wants you to believe they are "outside the box", but most are jailed squarely inside. A lack…

Episode 12: Jeffrey Tayama - "The Breakfast Club"
Who were you in high school? Did you hang out back with the hoods, or have practice every day as a jock? Was it prepping for college that drove you, or just trying to survive while navigating a tough domestic life? Did you have a friend, teacher, or coach that affected you? Are we doomed to…

Episode 11: Tom Harker - "The Matrix"
Prisons, walls, glass ceilings, and even pacifiers all have one thing in common, they are devices of control. On Moving Music, we have discussed liberating from even the self-imposed chains that bind. "The Matrix" stunned me in April of 1999 as I sat there watching this theme play out in a whole...
-
Episode 10: Mike Hockenberry - "Gladiator"
I have long romanticized the role of the revenant. A person, normally dead or near death, who is allowed to remain on the Earth to right a wrong, then slips away into the afterlife. Hollywood has borrowed from this theme several times. From Brandon Lee's "Crow" to Leonardo DiCaprio's "Revenant"…

Episode 9: TJ George - "Jacob's Ladder"
We all dream when the unconscious brain takes over while we sleep. This dream state carries us through a nonlinear world that changes at the will of our own mind. Our hopes, fears, disappointments and desires are explored without inhibition. If it is this way while we live, what happens as we…
