"Now, was I rushing or was I dragging?" Paula and Tyler kick off Teacher Appreciation month early by digging deep into J.K. Simmons's incredible portrayal of the most intense music teacher EVER in the 2014 film, "Whiplash." We also discover how writer/director, Damien Chazelle was influenced by his humble beginnings as a jazz drummer in a highly competitive high school music program in NJ... and does the film in fact have a happy ending?! All this and more on this episode of "My First Gig!" If you like what you hear, please remember to rate/review/subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher. Share your gig stories at myfirstgigpodcast@gmail.com!
