Today writer/director/producer Thomas Schnauz (Better Call Saul,
Breaking Bad, The X Files) returns to the show for another dive
into an iconic Pink Floyd album, this time ‘Wish You Were
Here’.
We talk about the different eras of the band, how their post - Dark
Side of the Moon fame and success influenced the lyrics of this
album, the story of original frontman Syd Barrett and how it
inspired ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’, the abandoned Household
Objects album and how elements were salvaged for this record, the
balance between organic instruments and synthesizers, the Live 8
reunion set and more.
Plus, Tom indulges my love for Better Call Saul with a mini-chat
about the recent devastating mid-season finale that he wrote and
directed. Anyone looking to avoid BCS spoilers should jump straight
to 09:10.
