Description
Sydney Urbanek hits the studio with Becky and Cam as they revisit two 1985 films that turned pop stars into movie stars: Desperately Seeking Susan (directed by Susan Seidelman, starring Madonna) and Mad Mad Beyond Thunderdome (directed by George Miller and George Ogilvie, starring Tina Turner). Sydney is a freelance writer and editor based out of Toronto, and a contributing editor at Bright Wall/Dark Room. As a former graduate student in Cinema Studies, she writes mostly about things at the intersection of pop music and moving images, and especially how the music and film worlds are tangled together. Some of that writing happens in her newsletter Mononym Mythology, where she goes long on things like pop stars, MTV, and the visual album. Her work has otherwise appeared in CBC Arts, Billboard, the Guardian, Sight and Sound, and elsewhere. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
