Jonathan Demme and the Talking Heads' concert film classic Stop Making Sense is back in theaters for a 40th anniversary revival, so Brad saw it in IMAX at Jake's request. Brad and Jake talk about the delightful addition of David Byrne solo and Tom Tom Club songs, Bryne's insane stamina, and propose a revival for concert films in the wake of this and Taylor Swift's new juggernaut movie.

The talk then shifts to Brad's assignment for Jake, the four-hour epic and final Sergio Leone film, Once Upon a Time in America. They talk about enduring Robert De Niro's despicable protagonist Noodles, wrestling with James Woods's problematic real-life personality in light of his terrific performance here, the production struggles the movie had upon its release, and the raw deal that composer Ennio Morricone was served up in 1984.

Other movies discussed in this episode: The Last Waltz (1978), True Stories (1986), Tanner '88 (1988), Tanner on Tanner (2004), Shine a Light (2008), Beyonce: Lemonade (2016), Rolling Thunder Revue (2019), American Utopia (2020), Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023).
