A Kiss After Supper
A column about the use of pop music in film — analyzing how directors deploy songs as narrative and emotional tools. Derek Miller created it; Dave McGonigle, Jack Feerick, and J.T. Ramsay contributed. Trainspotting, Uncle Buck, Douglas Sirk's melodramas, Garden State, Easy Rider, American Beauty — each piece examined how a film's soundtrack shaped its meaning. Published every other Tuesday under the Pop Playground banner.
