See Hear Podcast Episode 102 - Tender Mercies

After a hiatus of several months, See Hear podcast is back to fill
your earholes with discussion of music-centric films and interviews
with directors of such films. For episode 102, the focus is on
Tender Mercies, the 1983 film starring Robert Duvall about an ex
country singer who's trying to find some semblance of normality
after an existence of alcoholism, music industry ego and domestic
violence. It's a theme that's been tackled before in a myriad of
films, but as the saying goes, the devil is in the detail. It's
written by Horton Foote (script writer for To Kill a Mockingbird)
and directed by Bruce Beresford, a director previously known more
for his films about Australian machismo than the sensitive, quiet
subject matter that pervades Tender Mercies. Tim is still on break
(coming back soon I'm assured). This film was Bernie's pick but was
also not available to record. Sadly, after this recording, he
informed me that he's leaving the show. I'm going to miss his
input. So onto the good news. Friend of the show Kerry Gately
Fristoe was recruited for this episode as special guest, but had so
much fun that she will now be a permanent member of the See Hear
crew. I'm absolutely thrilled she's agreed to join. This episode
isn't her debut with the show, but it is the start of a new era of
See Hear. Please tune in and giver her a warm welcome. WE'RE
