We miss Kelly, too.
In this episode, Eric and Josh discuss Sound of Metal, a movie streaming on Amazon Prime.
They use the Jimmy V 1993 ESPY Speech – Did it hold them in thought, make them laugh, and move their emotions to tears — while interweaving the movie's narratives with their life narratives.
The description on Amazon Prime for Sound of Metal reads: “Metal drummer Ruben begins to lose his hearing. When a doctor tells him his condition will worsen, he thinks his career and life is over. His girlfriend Lou checks the former addict into a rehab for the deaf hoping it will prevent a relapse and help him adapt to his new life. After being welcomed and accepted just as he is, Ruben must choose between his new normal and the life he once knew.”
