I was guest this week on Out Now With Aaron and Abe
From the site:
This week’s Out Now with Aaron and Abe has the group under pressure to talk about a killer Queen movie. If only everyone was going radio ga ga for it. Aaron is joined by Joseph Braverman, Mark Hobin, and Markus Robinson to discuss Bohemian Rhapsody. The group a large conversation over whether or not this Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic does proper justice to the legendary rock group. Among topics covered, we have a fun round of Know Everybody (3:28), some Out Now Quickies™ (6:14), Trailer Talk for Rocketman (36:47), the main review (42:24), Games (1:25:30), and Out Now Feedback (1:35:50). We then wrap things up (1:47:01) and have some bloopers (2:07:50) following this week’s closeout song. So now, if you’ve got an hour or so to kill…

Nice podcast. i agree with your take on the main review. the positives outweigh the negative. in fact I didn’t think about the negatives after the movie. the experience was very enjoyable. i expected a movie about the formation of Queen and the creation of their songs. and that’s what it was. and Malek is a unique and captivating screen presence. he really elevated the movie.
Exactly! We’re not alone. Granted the critics have been less kind, but the movie is a huge hit all over the world. $300M and counting…
I mean the movie is not perfect and some critics may have fair reasons against it. one particular part I didn’t favor was Freddie Mercury standing in the rain and firing his partner. that seemed to be a little too theatrical. But there were many nice scenes. How Freddie met his bandmates, all the recording at the studios, the concerts, and the lead performance was consistently fascinating. It’s a solid 3-star movie I thought.
