Summary

On the latest episode of Loose Canon, Ella and Simon attempt to unpack Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic, using it as a frame of reference for understanding one of Hollywood's most resilient genres: the musician biopic, before jumping into an extensive conversation on why these movies are often atrocious. Ella and Simon then get into a discussion of two diamond's in the musician biopic rough, Amadeus (Ella's pick) and Better Man (Simon's pick).
