We’re joined by the film industry’s premier sound recordist this episode, as Mike Primmer sits down with us to talk about dog movies. We’ve seen The Friend, the new Bill Murray/Naomi Watts light drama, recorded by Mike, and we’re comparing it to the much loved Swedish 1985 coming of age picture My Life as a Dog. Two films about loss, grief, change, wagging tails and vinyl records. But which film reminded us of a Hallmark picture? Which film is based on the best book we’ve read this year? And what secrets will Mike reveal about the making of the film?
Plus a quick trip to a dystopian TV future, a trip to see a choral masterwork, a revisit of a 2005 modern classic about bats, a flashback to a marriage proposal, and we get Pavlov in to ring the spoiler bell.
