Pop Stars In Films
Published: Monday, February 24, 2025
Popular musicians and vaudeville acts were obvious choices for early filmmakers. By the 50's the studio system was ready to hoover up any rock and roll talent, presenting a deluge of 'jukebox' films. How did the phenonium of music stars turning into film stars develop from there? Kevin and Dave talk about Pop Stars In Films, looking at success, failure and of course some left field fringe examples.
