5 years after Chazelle's sleeper, indie hit, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, Chazelle returned to theaters with a 5 time Oscar nominee (including 3 Oscar wins) film that explores the darker side of jazz. Boasting a higher production quality and two famous cast members, Whiplash was one of the most talked about films that mainstream audiences didn’t see. With an extremely limited theatrical run, most people caught Whiplash on home video and ever since it has riveted their thoughts on jazz music, music teachers, and a return to a higher standard of cinema. IMDB users rank it as the 44th greatest film of all time. Join Corbin and Allen as they discuss Whiplash--in anticipation for his latest film, First Man, this November--to find out of it Chazelle’s second film is his greatest work.
