| 0:38.2 | Welcome back to the Next Picture Show, a movie the week podcast devoted to a classic film |

| 0:52.7 | On the first half of this episode, we looked at Stop Making Sense, the late Jonathan Demi's Masterful Talking Heads concert film from 1984. And this half will shift our focus a bit to what would be Demi's final film, another concert movie, Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids. Like Stop Making Sense, the film runs a mere 90 minutes and it makes that time count. Even though we go almost nine full minutes before the music starts. Instead of jumping into the action, Demi introduces us to Timberlake and his musicians, all of whom are at the end of a tour that's lasted for more than a year. The intent is to go out with a bang with a two-night stand at Las Vegas's MGM Grand. As with Stop Making Sense, Demi condenses two concerts into one and builds the excitement throughout. But this is in many ways a different movie. It's hard to imagine, for instance, David Byrne holding hands with the band for a pre-concert prayer, and we're stopped making sense to work through many tones. Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee kids tries to own one, sophisticated pop entertainment. So let's just, you know, get right to it. What did you guys think of Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids tries to own one. Sophisticated Pop Entertainment. |
| 2:12.8 | So let's just, you know, get right to it. What did you guys think of Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids? I mean, I think I've been in the tank for this movie from the beginning. I think I pushed this movie on at least one of you guys. I really like it and not just because it's Jonathan Demi. Like, I mean, I like Justin Timberlake. I'm not a super fan, but he is definitely one of those artists that, like, I like enough that I would maybe like to see him in concert, but probably not pay hundreds of dollars to see him at the MGM Grand. |
| 2:18.9 | You know, like this is a way I would most like to see Justin Timberlake, and it is exactly what I want in that regard. |
| 2:25.4 | I have to say, you know, on the evidence of this film, you know, you get a solid amount of entertainment for your dollar. |
| 2:29.2 | The performance is just incredible. |
| 2:35.6 | I really like this film a lot, and I think, you know, again, those demi-values, both in the way he makes the film and the spirit that animates the film is so present you know in a way that just completely |
| 2:40.8 | surprised me when I saw it I guess I shouldn't be surprised because it is Jonathan Demi but you know |
