Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 121: Sound of Metal (2020)
You need to hear this episode! Poll Position and Weekend Wrap’s own, Jacob Holmes is back to talk some Sound of Metal. Jacob and Raf really dig into how we establish what’s considered an “essential” movie, examine 2020’s impact on the film industry, and where Sound of Metal fits into it all. We also talk script construction, sound design, and great acting. Plus, Jacob previews his top 10 movies of 2026 so far.
