The Lost Episode has returned!
OK, we'll level with you. We had to re-record it. At any rate, this time around we're looking at two musical films that are both set in Dublin, Ireland, and coincidentally (or maybe not--you decide when the dust settles) they share a specific actor.
We start with The Commitments in Part 1, the 1991 film directed by Alan Parker. In this film we see a scruffy group of folks who aspire to become a soul band in the Atlantic/Stax/early Motown tradition. The band itself is quite large in number; large enough that Glen Hansard is billed eighth in the film. But fear not! He finds himself promoted to top billing in Part 2.
