XHM #592 - "Maybe a merciful comet will strike us" (2022 February 28)

Exploding Head Movies

As Oscar season continues, we dive into Nicholas Britell's nominated score to Adam McKay's satire Don't Look Up. We also explore music associated with a defiant Ukraine and wars since apparently, a pandemic wasn't enough strife on this planet. Go invade yourself; we aren't doomed despite how the sky feels.
