The rise and fall of the one-hit Wonders is packed with chart-topping performances and is a platinum record in our books! This week we're fangirling over 1996's “That Thing You Do”, with Tom Hanks doing triple duty as director, writer and co-star, Steve Zahn running away with the movie, Tom Everett Scott appreciating jazz, Charlize Theron, Obba Babatunde, Rita Wilson, Alex Rocco, Chris Isaak, Kevin Pollack and even Bryan Cranston making a meal out of a cameo. At the heart of it all is Liv Tyler's Faye, that brilliant soundtrack, and the continually missed opportunity to adapt this as a musical.

Hollywood studios hadn't made very many major movies about AIDS before 1993, so Philadelphia represented a fairly safe way into this difficult subject. Many considered Jonathan Demme's picture soft and weak, but Ryan's solo show tries to explain why his approach was the right one. Casting stars like Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington in the leading roles was a huge step to drawing people in. And while Hanks won his first Oscar as a gay man wrongfully dismissed by his law firm, Denzel is just as good...although in an entirely different way. But, yes, there are troubling issues with this film. There are the politics of a straight actor playing a gay character, not to mention how Hollywood dealt with HIV & AIDS 30 years ago...and how they still deal with it now. Homophobia, fear of catching an incurable disease, fear of the unknown, all of it is touched on in this 549th edition of Have You Ever Seen. So, counsellor, please devote nearly an hour to the opening, middle and closing arguments that make the case for Philadelphia's relevance, then and now. Well, Actually: just before the 24-minute mark, the phrase is "his baby's sister" when it should have been "his sister's baby". Also, Ryan botched Obba Babatunde's name (it came out "Odda"), which was an unfortunate flub of such a great name. Also also, it should have been mentioned that Jonathan Demme was the one who directed Mary Steenburgen to her Oscar in Melvin And Howard.

New York-based musician and America's Sweetheart Nick Miller joins to discuss the underseen 150-minute Extended Cut of Tom Hanks's directorial debut, 'That Thing You Do!'. It's a meandering, expansive version of the film that takes the original cut's effervescent (if slight) shot of pop nostalgia and, at its best, aims for comparisons to great surveyors of cinematic Americana like Robert Altman & Jonathan Demme (who serves as producer on this film).We discuss the two versions of the film, their differences, and how the Extended Cut showcases even further Tom Hanks's singular knowledge of the era and its musical landscape. Then, we talk about the eponymous tune, an infectious earworm written by the late Adam Schlesinger which took on a life of its own as a charting hit single and was nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar in 1997. We also discuss the film as part and parcel with Tom Hanks's decade-long fixation with postwar America and the Greatest Generation's sense of national purpose, how the movie gets right many of the intricacies of songwriting and band dynamics, and make a plea to the 300+ artists (including Squeeze and They Might Be Giants) who submitted versions of "That Thing You Do!" to finally release their recordings.
