XHM #599 - "La leonessa romana" (2022 April 18)

Exploding Head Movies

With the passing of the actress Monica Vitti (1933-2022), we listen to a wide range of music associated with her films, ranging from comedies to Michaelangelo Antonioni's moody new wave films. There were also a lot of concerts happening in Vancouver that week -- for podcast listeners, it's not so relevant anymore -- but it's a full raft of the usual mayhem.
