End Credits #348 - July 3, 2024 (The Greatest Hits)

Guelph Politicast

This week on End Credits, we see the music! Let's be clear, this is not a music show, but we're still dedicating this episode to the very busy intersection between the movies and music. For the review, we've got a movie called The Greatest Hits, which is about time travel, and speaking of greatest hits were going to revisit an old-fashioned bit of cross promotion called "the soundtrack".

This Wednesday, July 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

Soundtrack and Vision. Since our movie this week is about music, and since this is a show about movies, why don't we combine the two? Movies and music have gone together since the beginning, although the music part used to be done live, so it makes that we got around to the idea at some point to highlight the movie soundtrack. This week, we draw some of our favourite tracks from our favourite soundtracks.

REVIEW: The Greatest Hits (2024). You know when that one perfect song takes back to a certain moment in time? What if that was literal? That's the conceit of The Greatest Hits, a new romantic fantasy you can stream on Disney+ where Harriet, stricken with grief about the death of her boyfriend two years prior, has the ability to go back in time when she hears a song associated with a certain point in their relationship. And then things get complicated. So is The Greatest Hits a summer smash, or is just another disappointing remix?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
