We're actually talking about a whole bunch of projects in this episode: 1985's Brewster's Millions, the rare case of a Cooder film comedy; the quirky TV western Tall Tales & Legends; the five-time Golden Raspberry Award nominee Blue City, a film we certainly wouldn't be talking about today without Cooder's contribution. Our little mid-'80s journey also includes three session albums, a festival, and Cooder's first-ever best-of album.

This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
