5. Needle Drops with Fiona Johnston
Show notes
In this episode we discuss our top 3 "needle drop" moments in films. Our guest is Fi Johnston, friend of the pod and local film lover. The dry definition of a needle drop is: an industry term for when a pre-existing, licensed, or popular song is played during a scene in a film, instead of an original and/or instrumental score. These moments evoke many feelings, as discussed in the pod.
