In episode 22, Johnny talks to music supervisor, movie producer and music manager Tarquin Gotch. Tarquin's career saw him rise to Head of A&R at Arista Records in the 1980s - overseeing acts like The Thompson Twins, Simple Minds, The Stray Cats, and The Beat. He then moved to Warners, transitioning Prince, Madonna and many other American acts into the UK. Moving into music management he oversaw The Beat, Stephen Duffy, The Dream Academy, Hugh Harris, General Public, XTC, Roger McGuinn from the Byrds and Jon Lord from Deep Purple. In a chance encounter in 1984, through his actress and model friend Kelly LeBrock, Tarquin met writer-director John Hughes on the set of Weird Science. He went on to become music supervisor on the John Hughes films Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Some Kind of Wonderful, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, She's Having A Baby, The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck.  Running John Hughes' film company in the 1990s, Tarquin executive produced the films Curly Sue, Dutch, Only The Lonely, and Home Alone.  He has since produced both film and TV including the 1998 film Still Crazy, the TV series Crocodile Shoes with Jimmy Nail, the documentary series Cars That Rock with Brian Johnson, and the return of prison sitcom Porridge for the BBC. Tarquin currently manages Brian Johnson of AC/DC, and founding members of the Police, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland.  Johnny's talk with Tarquin covers his work curating Life Moves Pretty Fast, a boxset celebrating the music of John Hughes soundtracks, released on Demon Records in 2022.  They discuss Tarquin's time working alongside John Hughes and John Candy, his process of putting songs in front of John Hughes for consideration, and which composer he believes revolutionised the art of film scoring. This conversation was recorded online at the beginning of February 2024. Thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant music (check out James' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loco Looper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.   You can contact My Movie DNA on Twitter/X @mymovieDNA or email mymovieDNA@gmail.com.

Life Moves Pretty Fast - The Music and Movies of John Hughes

In the final episode of Life Moves Pretty Fast, Hadley Freeman and Tarquin Gotch uncover the story of 1987's high school drama "Some Kind Of Wonderful". Like "Pretty In Pink", the film was written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch, and in some ways acts as a correction to "Pretty In Pink" supplying the ending Hughes and Deutch wanted with "Pretty In Pink" but were denied by test audiences and studio tinkering. Much like many John Hughes films, it had a soundtrack dominated by UK indie music from the likes of The Jesus And Mary Chain,  Propaganda and Flesh For Lulu. Life Moves Pretty Fast is produced by Ian Callaghan for Gimme Sugar Productions and Serious Comedy. 

Life Moves Pretty Fast - The Music and Movies of John Hughes

Hadley Freeman and Tarquin Gotch return with Episode 3 of 'Life Moves Pretty Fast' and turn their attention to arguably the greatest and most loved film from John Hughes, the unforgettable 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. Released in 1986, the film follows Ferris, his best friend Cam and Ferris' girlfriend Sloane as they skip school for the day with a "borrowed" Ferrari to take in all that Hughes' home city of Chicago has to offer. The film stars Matthew Broderick whose sharp and witty turn as Ferris has been a career-defining role, which Matthew talks exclusively about in this brand-new episode.  Check out the Life Moves Pretty Fast box set which is out now and features some of the best tracks from across John's most iconic films.  Life Moves Pretty Fast is produced by Ian Callaghan for Gimme Sugar Productions and Serious Comedy.

Hadley Freeman and Tarquin Gotch return for episode 2 of 'Life Moves Pretty Fast' to discuss one of John Hughes' best films, released in 1985, 'The Breakfast Club'. John wrote and directed this low-budget teen-movie which has achieved cult status. Starring a number of young actors from the 'Brat Pack', notably Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez. It is also one of John Hughes' best soundtracks, which gave Simple Minds 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' a number-one hit in the United States.

It's here! Episode 3, or “Bury me in my white fringed leather jacket.” In which journalists and pop culture fanatics Kylie Klein Nixon and Emily Brookes talk about one of our all time favourite movies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Just because. * Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and talk about your favourite films on your pop culture podcast, you might never do it. That's the basic rationale behind us devoting an entire episode to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, John Hughes' 1986 masterpiece about a high school senior who just wants to stop and enjoy his life before everything changes. Well, that's what it's about at first read, but there's a lot more going on in this movie. We discuss the excellent class-based analysis of the film outlined by Guardian journalist Hadley Freeman in her book Life Moves Pretty Fast, and examine Ferris and Cameron's unusual friendship. There is admiration for costumes, for music cues, for minor characters, for Charlie Sheen. And of course - because this is Ferris Bueller's Day Off - there is much, much quoting. But things get serious when we debate the character of Ferris himself. Is he a hero - or a bit of a dick? * You've obviously seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off dozens of times, but if you want to refresh your memory, it's on Netflix. Hadley Freeman's excellent book Life Moves Pretty Fast: The Lessons We Learned From 80s Movies (and Why We Don't Learn Them From Movies Anymore) is available all over the place, including Book Depository and Audible. You can read more of her journalism here. We talk about Dream Academy's instrumental cover of The Smiths' Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want; here's the original. We love hearing from you!

Recorded live at the first London Podcast Festival at King’s Place, Guardian writer Hadley Freeman brings us her personalised guide to American movies from the 1980s – why they are brilliant, what they meant to her, and how they influenced movie-making forever. Growing up in New York in the 1980’s Hadley learned everything she knows from films like Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, Top Gun, The Princess Bride, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Beverley Hills Copand When Harry Met Sally… We’ll be talking about how the changes between movies then and movies today say so much about pop culture’s and society’s changing expectations of women, young people, masculinity, class and art, and explains why Pretty in Pink and Ghostbusters should be put on school syllabuses immediately.

For many, the 80s was a decade that taste didn’t just forget, but totally bypassed. Guardian and Vogue columnist Hadley Freeman does not subscribe to that one bit and is so passionate about 80s American movies that she’s written a book about them. Life Moves Pretty Fast features the classics (Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) and explains how they helped forge her worldview. In this event recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, she discusses the book with Lee Randall.
