Listen "Director Stephen Frears; Lennon-McCartney of Mock Movie Music"
Episode Synopsis
Celebrated director Stephen Frears (The Grifters, High Fidelity, The Queen) talks about his new movie Tamara Drewe and his comfort level working in the independent film world. After two failed attempts at Hollywood studio movies, the indie director says he retreated to a more sensible place, away from the large budgets that had a paralyzing effect on him. Then we meet Dan Bern and Mike Viola, the Lennon-McCartney of mock rock movie songs, including those sung by the fictitious rock stars in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Get Him to The Greek.
