American Routes Goes to the Movies
Get your popcorn and tell the guy next to you to pipe down, as we feature soundtracks and songs from great films. Cine noir to spaghetti western, King Creole to Pulp Fiction - music makes the movie. We'll talk with director Jim Jarmusch about the soundtracks to Mystery Train, Down By Law and Ghost Dog - and producer T Bone Burnett lets us behind the scenes of O Brother, Where Art Thou. Shhh...down in front please!
