331 - TRUE CONFESSIONS (1981) + LIGHT OF DAY (1987) ft. Steven Hyden
Added 2024-06-02 15:39:30 +0000 UTCHosts Josh and Jamie and special guest rock critic Steven Hyden discuss a double feature of movies loosely connected to legendary heartland rocker Bruce Springsteen: Ulu Grosbard's LA noir conspiracy-Catholic brother melodrama TRUE CONFESSIONS (1981) starring the two Roberts (Duvall and De Niro) that apparently inspired his 1982 album NEBRASKA, and Paul Schrader's Ohio blue-collar bar band family melodrama LIGHT OF DAY (1987) that before eventually casting Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett was originally written in the late 70s as a star vehicle for Springsteen under the working title BORN IN THE U.S.A.

Really enjoyed this conversation. For some reason your guest Steven Hyden seemed to drop out for real long stretches. What gives?
