The movie
Show notes
Sound of Metal is a brutal depiction of grief endured by a metal drummer, played by Riz Ahmed, who suddenly loses his hearing. Ruben moves into a shelter for deaf, recovering addicts, and sells his RV to raise the money needed for pay for a cochlear implants operation. This ultimately puts him at odds with Joe, who runs the shelter and believes deafness is not a handicap that does not need to be fixed. We found Sound of Metal to be a thoughtful depiction of its subject material, and explored the praises and criticisms members of the deaf community had regarding the film. We also played Cam’s new game, “Is it a metal subgenre or did I just make some shit up?” Motion Picture Pals is hosted by Cam Call , Rebekah Markillie , Caleb Warwick , and producer Travis Lien .
