This Podcast Should Be Played Loud

For our premiere episode, we explore the cinematic life and times o’ Prince. We discuss his humble beginnings as an R&B wunderkind, the meteoric rise of Purple Rain and its much maligned sequel, as well as his bizarre foray into directing on the French Riviera, and quite possibly the best concert film of all time (sorry to Jonathan Demme).Film discussed:Purple Rain (1984)Under The Cherry Moon (1986)Sign O’ The Times (1987)Graffiti Bridge (1990)

With the new year underway, we’re very excited to announce the premiere of our new show This Podcast Should Be Played Loud; an exploration of cinema through a musical lens hosted by musician Alan Palomo and filmmaker Chadd Harbold. They say every actor wants to be a rockstar and vice versa! “This Podcast” is about the cinematic careers of iconic musicians, as well as the greatest films ever made about music. Every week, we discuss the filmography of your favorite artists lending their talents to acting, directing, producing, or composing. From gonzo ride-alongs, biopic blockbusters, musicals, soundtracks, and everything in between, This Podcast Should Be Played Loud is a music lover's cinematic dream. This week, we’re kicking things off by examining the cinematic life and times of Prince.
