See Hear Episode 121 - Interview with Neil Fox about his book "Music Films"
Episode 121
Saturday, October 26, 2024 • Duration 01:41:24
Do you like music films? Dumb question, I guess, because if you've deliberately downloaded an episode of See Hear, you know that music films are our niche in the podcast world. For us to discover that there was a new book about the subject that drives this very podcast....well, there was much cheering and jumping for joy.
Welcome to episode 121 of See Hear Podcast.
We welcome to the show Professor Neil Fox of Falmouth University. He's written a terrific book called “Music Films: Documentaries, Concert Films and Other Cinematic Representations of Popular Music”. He felt that music films were poorly regarded in the wider space of cinematic genres.....which is stupid. As our show has proven, the wider umbrella of music cinema can include discussion of class divides, social structure, civil rights, the cult of celebrity, mental health, and knocking down Stonehenge.
Neil's book puts specific films under the microscope and links them thematically.....many made in the 21st Century. He shows that the wider umbrella of music cinema has much to say....regardless of whether you want something deep or something fluffy. It should be celebrated as much as anything out there. You may think you know a thing or two about music films, but Neil's book reveals so many interesting films that deserve a wider audience. You don't even need to be a fan of the music some of these films celebrate.....just an interest in stories well told....and that, dear friends, is what drives this very podcast.
Huge thanks to Neil for being such a great conversationalist. Extra thanks go to the host of the Beatles Books podcast, Joe Wisbey for making the connection.
If you want to get hold of a copy of the book (and it's highly recommended by Tim, Kerry and myself), you can order it from https://www.bloomsbury.com/au/music-films-9781839023439/

See Hear Podcast Episode 120 - Great Soundtracks Part 2
Episode 120
Saturday, September 28, 2024 • Duration 01:43:32
Movie music – any movie fan will acknowledge that a film score or a soundtrack can make or break how well a film works. The acting and cinematography and production values all count obviously, but imagine putting the 3 Stooges theme in place as “Mother” goes to see how Marion Crane is faring in the shower scene of Psycho.
Welcome to episode 120 of See Hear.
If you haven't caught up with the previous episode of the show, Tim, Kerry and myself were joined by our great friend Paul Ryan to talk about our favourite film scores, and they were widely diverse stylistically. That's what made the conversation so exciting. We had such a long conversation, I felt it best to split it up into two shows, so what you have downloaded / are about to download is part 2 of that chat.
Like last time, we are rapt to also present segments spread throughout the show featuring hosts of some truly excellent podcasts in the Pantheon Network. These hosts enlighten us as to THEIR favourite soundtracks. You will hear from:
Brett Vargo (Only Three Lads)
Jesse Jackson (Set Lusting Bruce / Perfectly Good Podcast)
Jason Whissell ( It's Not That Bad / There Can Only Be One)
More film score recommendations than you can poke a pointed stick at. These conversations incorporate what makes the music work in context of the films they represent, and we go off on tangents to discuss similar scores or others by the same composers.
Sounds interesting? We look forward to any feedback you may provide about the shows. Please, email us or post in the Facebook group with YOUR favourite soundtracks and scores.
If you’ve been enjoying the show, please consider giving us a favourable review on iTunes and let your friends know that our show exists. If you don't enjoy the show, tell your adversaries to tune in. We don't care who listens.....

See Hear 111 - Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents
Episode 111
Monday, November 27, 2023 • Duration 01:08:15
Musicians, artists, actors and authors (and any other creatives I haven’t nominated) have long taken pseudonyms. Maybe a more exciting name will sell an image, maybe it’s to have some semblance of privacy, maybe it’s to separate themselves from their past, …any number of reasons. Avant garde art collective The Residents took things beyond name change – they maintained complete anonymity.
Welcome to episode 111 of See Hear Podcast.
The Residents are a band, multimedia artists, theatrical performers….and anonymous. Long time fans claim to be aware of their identities, but putting that aside, the band subscribed to the Theory of Obscurity that maintains that better art is created when the artist is anonymous and free of audience expectations. The band has always performed with masks and not given names….not even pseudonyms.
They’ve been creating music for over 50 years, and have released multitudes of albums – original compositions and deconstructions of 20th century standards from the likes of The Rolling Stones, James Brown and George Gershwin. Trying to define what they do beyond the catch-all tag of “avant- garde” is ridiculous. For some, it can be music that is difficult or challenging….and for others, it can be a breath of fresh air.
For this episode of See Hear, Tim and Maurice discuss the 2015 film “Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents” directed by Don Hardy, its themes, the music of the Residents, and whether there’s something actually to the theory or if it’s bunk.
The film is easily available on Kanopy, Youtube and Tubi. You can tune into our conversation before or after watching it, but either way, grab your top hat and cane, then tune in. We have our eye on you.

See Hear bonus episode - Interview with Darian Sahanaja (Brian Wilson's band and musical consultant for Love And Mercy)
Sunday, April 17, 2016 • Duration 30:32
Back in February, Bernie and
Maurice were joined by Frank Santopadre and Tish Grier to discuss Bill Pohlad's
2015 biopic on Brian Wilson, Love And Mercy for episode 25 of See Hear.
In April, Maurice interviewed
Darian Sahanaja (Wondermints and Brian Wilson Band) for Love That Album episode
89 on the final day of Brian's 2016 tour of Australia. The last part of the
interview featured a discussion about Darian's work as musical consultant on
Love And Mercy.With Tim and Bernie's blessing, Maurice thought it would be a
good idea to present this segment as a bonus episode of See Hear.
Darian coached the brilliant Paul
Dano to play piano in a style similar to Brian, and came up with the idea to
use real musicians rather than actors to play The Wrecking Crew as they
recorded Pet Sounds. Listen to Darian discuss the creative process in his
work on the film.
If this short discussion has you
interested to hear more, look out for episode 89 of Love That Album podcast to
hear a whole lot more about Darian and his activities.

See Hear podcast Episode 26 - Color Me Obsessed - A Film About The Replacements
Tuesday, March 22, 2016 • Duration 01:04:39
Episode 26 of See Hear is available for your earholes. It’s the final of our 2015 listener requests. The fact that it’s 2016 shows we’re a bit disorganised, but as Bernie suggested, that’s fitting with the subject matter.
Eric Reanimator requested we watch and discuss Color Me Obsessed: A Film About The Replacements, directed by Gorman Bechard and released in 2011. It’s a documentary about the beloved 80s punk / pop band from Minneapolis. It uses the common documentary trope of the “talking head”perspective, but unlike many other documentaries (music or otherwise) this is all it does. There is no Replacements archival footage, nor any interviews with the band. There are producers, peers and fans all giving their stories of gigs witnessed, tutus, trashcans, favourite albums, and teen angst.
Bernard, Tim and Maurice discuss whether this approach to the subject matter actually helps or hinders in appreciating who the Replacements were. There is a lot of digression from talk of the actual film to discussing what we believe the role of a documentary actually is, and what our favourite Replacements albums are. There will be a certain irony about our discussion which will become apparent as we go into the episode – listen and work it out.

See Hear podcast Episode 25 - Love And Mercy
Monday, February 22, 2016 • Duration 01:49:06
It’s time to get out your surfboards, hang onto your ego, and
plug in your theremin as See Hear Podcast heads for the beach.
Tim is absent, but Maurice and Bernie are pleased as punch
to be joined by two fellow Beach Boys devotees to discuss Bill Pohlad’s 2015 biopic
of Brian Wilson, Love And Mercy. For the first part of the show, Frank
Santopadre of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast and writer Tish Grier join the See Hear crew to discuss the Murry Wilson School
of parenting, mental health issues, the Wrecking Crew, Beach Boys albums that
are not Pet Sounds or Smile, and the contributions to the Beach Boys sounds by
members that were not Brian Wilson. The second part of the show is devoted to a
discussion on the merits of the film. Given the many flaws usually inherent in
a biopic (and we name-check a few), how does Love And Mercy compare? Tune in
and find out.
Once again, many thanks to Frank and Tish for giving to the
show so generously of their time and knowledge.

See Hear Podcast Episode 24 - Ishtar
Sunday, January 17, 2016 • Duration 01:05:25
See Hear podcast is back for 2016. Did you miss us???? Don’t
answer because….telling the truth can be dangerous business.
Tim, Bernard, and Maurice discuss a film hand-picked by the
wonderful Frank Santopadre of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast.
That film is 1987’s Ishtar starring Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty as Chuck
Clarke and Lyle Rogers, two awful songwriters and lounge singers who get sent
to play gigs at a hotel in Ishtar, but get caught up in American / Middle
Eastern politics. Strangely familiar?
The film was a financial failure with rumours of creative conflict
between the director, comedian Elaine May (of the brilliant May and Nichols
duo) and Beatty & Hoffman. It has long been derided by the critics and many
others as one of the worst films ever made. With bravery and fortitude, the See
Hear Crew went in to find out if the film was as bad as reports had made it
out. We are pleased to report that there was disagreement among the crew as to
the film’s merits – conflict makes a film more interesting, and so it does for
members of a podcast. Forget Siskel and Ebert or Stratton and Pomeranz. We give
you the infamous Ishtar Disagreement of Merrill, Stickwell and Bursztynski.Many thanks to Frank for this selection.If you dig what we do, could you please rate us at
iTunes or even better, spread the word that the show exists so more folks can
tune in.

See Hear Podcast Episode 23 - Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park (redux)
Tuesday, December 22, 2015 • Duration 01:19:47
Time to get your
facepaint on, dig out the platform shoes and fake chest hair, and arm yourself
with your love gun…..Yep, the See Hear crew are back to discuss the
Hanna-Barbera production, KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park.
Bernard, Tim, and
Maurice are privileged to be joined by Mike White of the brilliant Projection
Booth podcast to talk about the cultural phenomenon that was KISS in the 1970s.
What does any self-respecting pop culture icon do? Why, make a quick cash-in
film, of course!!!! Is this film in the same league as A Hard Day’s
Night? Ummmm……..not exactly….
The film is set in
an amusement park where KISS are going to perform a series of concerts, but
they are at the mercy of a mad scientist (do films have any other kind?) who
clones KISS to….ummmm…..take over the amusement park.
As well as the
film, we talk about KISS as a band, Paul Stanley’s delightful concert banter,
and how would they have fared if they’d never put on the makeup and cod-pieces
at the start. We find connections to the Marx Brothers, Spinal Tap, and Gilbert
Gottfried’s favourite Vincent Price movie (att: Frank Santopadre). Tune in and
find out how we weave it all in.

Our
huge thanks to Mike White for suggesting the film and joining us for this
episode. If you haven’t checked out The Projection Booth, rectify that situation IMMEDIATELY. Download
episodes from http://projection-booth.com
Also, huge thanks go out to Rhys Lett of the local
Kiss tribute act Dressed To Chill. As you may deduce from the name, they do
acoustic lounge versions of Kiss songs. He has kindly allowed us to play their
version of C’mon and Love Me, which we play as the show’s outro. If you need

See Hear Podcast Episode 22 - Space Is The Place
Friday, November 20, 2015 • Duration 01:09:21
It’s time for episode 22 of See Hear podcast.
How does music affect you? Are you one of those people who
says that great music can transport you to another place? Jazz musician Sun Ra
felt the same thing, but he meant it a little more literally than most.
In this episode of the podcast, Tim, Bernie and Maurice
discuss important issues such as isotope teleportation, transmolecuralisation,
and teleporting people from Earth to Saturn via music. Well….they actually
discuss the film released in 1974 written by and starring Sun Ra called “Space
Is The Place”. Ra was certainly out there with his beliefs that he was born on
Saturn and descended from the Egyptian sun god, Ra. On the other hand, he was
extremely articulate, very well read and philosophically rational Oh….and he
was a true jazz pioneer.
The film is a mix of the power of music, blaxploitation and
science fiction as Sun Ra battles the evil Overseer for the right to transport
the Afro-American community from Earth to another planet when he determines
the earth is doomed. He will do this via the power of music. Sounds crazy?
Yep…..and yet, nope. The See Hear trio see all sorts of film, literature and
music precedents for this film, and also point out who took on Sun Ra’s legacy.
We hope you find it a thought provoking discussion.
So, if you find earth boring, just the same old same thing,
come on jump on board the good space ship See Hear for a trip to the outer
recesses of the mind and the universe.

See Hear Podcast Episode 21 - The 5000 Fingers of Dr T
Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • Duration 01:00:26
It’s October and many film fans in our community are watching horror
films in advance of Halloween. The See Hear crew have gone their own path and
are watching something completely different…..or have they? In episode 21, we discuss a film with torture, imprisonment, and
nightmares…..and it’s a kid’s film. Not just any kid’s film, though. Bernard,
Tim and I discuss the 1953 film The 5000 Fingers of Dr T, directed by Roy
Rowland, produced by Stanley Kramer (though some folks think he had a strong
hand n its direction), and written by Theodore Geisel AKA Dr Seuss. There’s
themes here post WW2 and of the Cold War, but it’s also about a kid having the
freedom to be allowed to find time to do his own thing. We discuss things like
shlooping and shleeping, Warners cartoons, Yellow Submarine, kids’
imaginations, scary figures in kids films, and George Chakiris. As usual, we
had a ton of fun talking about this film. Please give the show a listen, and
watch the film with a kid in your life. If you dig
what we do, could you please rate us at iTunes or even better, spread the word
that the show exists so more folks can tune in.
