Today writer/director/producer Thomas Schnauz (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, The X Files) returns to the show for another dive into an iconic Pink Floyd album, this time ‘Wish You Were Here’.
We talk about the different eras of the band, how their post - Dark Side of the Moon fame and success influenced the lyrics of this album, the story of original frontman Syd Barrett and how it inspired ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’, the abandoned Household Objects album and how elements were salvaged for this record, the balance between organic instruments and synthesizers, the Live 8 reunion set and more.
Plus, Tom indulges my love for Better Call Saul with a mini-chat about the recent devastating mid-season finale that he wrote and directed. Anyone looking to avoid BCS spoilers should jump straight to 09:10.
