After a short hiatus, we're back with a look at the classic story of music and heartbreak, High Fidelity!

In this episode we discuss:

• Nick Hornby's original 1995 novel.
• The 2000 movie, directed by Stephen Frears, written by D.V. DeVincentis, Steve Pink, John Cusack, and Scott Rosenberg, and starring Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Jack Black, Lisa Bonet, and Joan Cusack.
• The 2006 musical, with music by Tom Kitt, lyrics by Amanda Green, and book by David Lindsay-Abaire.
• The 2020 TV show, developed by Veronica West and Sarah Kucserka, and starring Zoë Kravitz, Jake Lacy, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, David H. Holmes, and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Footnotes:

• "Shame" by Randy Newman
• Jack Black Goes "All of the F**king Way" on High Fidelity
• The original High Fidelity theatrical trailer
• "Weird Al" Yankovic's "My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder" vs. "I Slept With Someone (Who Slept With Lyle Lovett)" from the High Fidelity musical
