Sound on Sight Radio #182: Crazy Heart
He’s been nominated for four Academy Awards, and by Tuesday morning, in all likelihood, it’ll be five, but Jeff Bridges isn’t necessarily thought of as a prestige figure. That may change thanks to the release of Crazy Heart, in which he plays a broken-down, aging country star. To celebrate Bridges’ coming into critical favor, Al, Mariko and Simon will be looking at that film, as well as his breakout film – Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show (1971), as well as John Carpenter’s alien love story Starman (1984).
