Description
Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest film critic and author Willow Catelyn Maclay discuss the iconic pioneering funk, rock and pop musician (and androgenous sex symbol) Prince with a double feature of his screen debut in the quasi-autobiographical rock opera/concert musical PURPLE RAIN (1984) + his directorial debut UNDER THE CHERRY MOON (1986), a strange post-modern pastiche of Old Hollywood rom-coms and European art films.
