Join Darryl as he reviews Song Sung Blue, the 2025 film from director Craig Brewer that turns the real story of Milwaukee's own Neil Diamond tribute act, Lightning and Thunder, into a full blown musical drama starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, and asks whether their journey from bar circuit dreamers to genuine tragedy and triumph earns every tear it asks for.

This episode contains light spoilers.

In this review, Darryl shares why Kate Hudson's descent into grief left him floored, how the real Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam connection turns out to be even more moving than the movie's version, and why he walked away wishing more than anything he'd gotten to watch Lightning and Thunder perform in person.
