Shostakovich McQueen Webcasts Are Here

My weekend shows, “Bustin’ Out of the Joint” (on “Picture Perfect”) and “Black and White and Red All Over” (on “The Lost Chord”), are now posted as webcasts. Not bad! Only four hours late this time.

At any rate, if you missed the Shostakovich show because of the Super Bowl, or can’t get enough of Steve McQueen jumping over barbed wire on a motorcycle, you’ve just been handed a gift. Or a file baked in a cake. Select the show you want, and click on the “Listen” button.

Prison Break Movies Picture Perfect

This week on “Picture Perfect,” we’re bustin’ out of the joint, with an hour of films about prison breaks.

Indomitable Steve McQueen does hard time on Devil’s Island in “Papillon” (1973), with music by Jerry Goldsmith. Paul Newman sticks it to The Man in “Cool Hand Luke” (1967), with music by Lalo Schifrin. Tim Robbins makes good use of a Rita Hayworth poster in “The Shawshank Redemption” (1994), with music by Thomas Newman. And an all-star cast, led by a barbed-wire hopping McQueen (again), flee their Nazi captors in “The Great Escape” (1963), with music by Elmer Bernstein.

Face it, nobody looks good in orange. Grab a shank and a file, and join me tonight at 6 ET, with a repeat tomorrow morning at 6; or listen to it later as a webcast at wwfm.org.
