See Hear Podcast Episode 102 - Tender Mercies

After a hiatus of several months, See Hear podcast is back to fill your earholes with discussion of music-centric films and interviews with directors of such films.

For episode 102, the focus is on Tender Mercies, the 1983 film starring Robert Duvall about an ex country singer who's trying to find some semblance of normality after an existence of alcoholism, music industry ego and domestic violence. It's a theme that's been tackled before in a myriad of films, but as the saying goes, the devil is in the detail. It's written by Horton Foote (script writer for To Kill a Mockingbird) and directed by Bruce Beresford, a director previously known more for his films about Australian machismo than the sensitive, quiet subject matter that pervades Tender Mercies.

Tim is still on break (coming back soon I'm assured). This film was Bernie's pick but was also not available to record. Sadly, after this recording, he informed me that he's leaving the show. I'm going to miss his input.

So onto the good news. Friend of the show Kerry Gately Fristoe was recruited for this episode as special guest, but had so much fun that she will now be a permanent member of the See Hear crew. I'm absolutely thrilled she's agreed to join. This episode isn't her debut with the show, but it is the start of a new era of See Hear. Please tune in and giver her a warm welcome.
