We near the end of Musical Month Deux with a modern-day biopic that also happens to be parody along with being a damn fine musical with alot of heart: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill programs the episode and stops by to talk all about John C. Reilly, the film's music, and what Dewey Cox may be up to in 2024.
Starring John C. Reilly as the titular Dewey Cox, the film sends up musical biopics of the mid-2000s with their formulaic full-life story retelling along with encountering popular musicians and music styles of the time. Add in a healthy dose of catchy musical numbers and you've got a cult classic musical comedy that deserves more appreciation from a wider film-watching audience.
