Ep 139: "The Commitments" Revisited

Deco was 16 years old. We repeat, "Deco was 16!" Andrew Strong was a wee lad when he busted out covers of "Mustang Sally" and "Try a Little Tenderness" in the 1991 film, The Commitments. The Alan Parker drama-comedy about an assembled band of soul-singing Dubliners featured a rough and ready cast, great music, and one bummer of an ending. Three decades later, do the melodies linger? Do the accents still charm? And would a happier ending have made this movie a hit? The Old Roommates step up to the mic and give it a rewatch. Listen to this.<br />Bonus content including Christina and Brian’s favorite tracks off The Committments’ soundtrack available at patreon.com/oldroommates!
