I'm Sean Fennacy. I'm Amanda Dobbins. And this is the Big Picture a conversation show about Michael and and Mary. Today on the show, we are digging into two new music-related releases with our pal from Bans Blaine, Yassie Sala. Hello. Hello. The first movie is the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, which is directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Jackson's nephew Jafar. The second is David Lowry's Gothic Fantasia Mother Mary. It's an extended two-hander about a fictional pop star played by Anne Hathaway and her costume designer, stylist, played by Michaela Cole. Later in this episode, I'll be joined by Lowry. Our conversation was recorded live at Vidyitz after a screening of the movie. Mother Mary is an incredibly audacious piece of work and demands to be discussed.

We will do that here as well. This is David's fourth time on the show after coming by to discuss

a ghost story. The Old Man in the Gun and the Green Knight. He's one of my favorite directors to speak with.

So stick around for that. Programming note. On Tuesday, I promised you that the physical media

high council will return and I was not
