Film
changed forever in the summer of 1993. Jurassic Park showed the way of the future. The Last Action Hero was the final gasp of the 80s action film. And Tom
Cruise starred in the first of what would be a wave of major 90s
films, breaking in the John Grisham legal thriller with
The
Firm. And for this
film, composer Dave Grusin did something almost unheard of: a score
composed and performed almost entirely on one instrument: the
piano. For Emily St. James (Vox,
Arden), the
combination was unforgettable, inspiring - and also tied to
difficulties with her family. Join Chris and Emily as they discuss
the film, the summer of 1993, the career of Wilford Brimley, and
much, much more.
