Whiplash (2014) - Great men are rarely good
Episode 292
Thursday, 17 September, 2026

Dan and Brian continue "Train" month, their look at teacher and training films, with a look at a slightly less wholesome teacher-student relationship, the one depicted in Whiplash. Join as they discuss Damien Chazelle, their formative teachers (and some less formative ones), our "first ticket" directors, real drumming, the strange energy between Neiman and Fletcher, category fraud, and what makes greatness.
