October Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss4 of 27
"Song Exploder" | Series Premieres Friday, Oct. 2, on Netflix
Plot: In this series based on the podcast of the same name, musicians dig deep into their songwriting and reveal their intimate thoughts about the creative process, and the inspiration behind their music and lyrics.
Our Take: Regardless of whether you’re a devout music lover, listen to a few episodes of the Song Exploder podcast and you’ll find yourself enamored with the process of layering sound, introducing unique instruments and crafting just the right lyrics to create a song that speaks to the soul. I can’t wait to see what a visual adaptation of the concept looks like, especially with a talent lineup featuring Alicia Keys, R.E.M., and Lin-Manuel Miranda. I’m so ready to hear the inspiration behind the music, and the moment that each artist knew they’d built a hit. — Hannah
