Johnny Metal earned a new nickname tonight: Johnny Homework! His meticulous research and notes provided a solid backbone of knowledge on which we arranged an awesome discussion. The topic: the now-classic Christopher Guest mockumentary A Mighty Wind!
Together with Uncle Meat and Dan from Off the Charts, we tried to cover every aspect that we love about this movie. We went deep on the following topics:
The cast
- Our favourite bands
- Our favourite songs
- Favourite scenes
- Fred Willard
- The Kiss at the End of the Rainbow
- The ending
Additionally, we looked at CDs, vinyl, and a very nice songbook from Johnny Homework. Gotta get that physical product in.
Thanks for joining us!

What can I say? The movie connected with me in a deep way. Now if I can do the same thing with music. 😁

Fun show, guys. Big fan of “A Mighty Wind” and all the other Christopher Guest movies. Will catch the beginning (which I missed) this weekend. That will be my homework – the fun kind! Henry.

Thanks for mentioning Llewyn Davis – Dear Mr. Kennedy stands up with any of these songs!
