565: Carmen Emmi, Russell Tovey & Tom Blyth On Plainclothes
Every now and again on Soundtracking, we share an interview which doesn't refer to music at all - and that's the case with this bonus episode with Carmen Emmi, Russell Tovey and Tom Blyth. But they joined Edith to discuss such a beautiful film about such an important story that we wanted to bring it to you on the podcast anyway, as well as our youtube channel Soundtracking Extra, where the conversation premiered. The film in question is Plainclothes, which is now available on Home Ents formats. It's Carmen's debut as a writer and director, and tells the story of a police officer who works undercover to entrap and arrest men displaying lewd behavior in public restrooms. However, he soon finds himself torn between duty and desire when he develops a secret connection with one of his targets.

As they search for answers, the children unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries. Not only does it feature an iconic synth score from Michael Stein & Kyle Dixon, but it is also famous for its exemplary use of needle-drops.

561: Rebecca Miller On Her Documentary, Mr Scorsese
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Rebecca Miller, in an interview we originally put on our youtube channel, Soundtracking Extra, but wanted to share with you on the podcast. Rebecca is the director of Mr Scorsese, a beautifully compelling, honest and comprehensive documentary series about Marty's life and work, which is streaming now on Apple TV +. And he is, of course, one of the greatest exponents of the needle drop in the history of cinema, as well as music more generally.
In a unique weekly podcast, Edith Bowman sits down with a variety of film directors, actors, producers and composers to talk about the music that inspired them and how they use music in their films, from their current release to key moments in their career. The music chosen by our guests is woven into the interview and used alongside clips from their films.
