580: Bradley Cooper On The Music Of 'Is This Thing On'

It's bonus time ... and what a fine bonus we have for you this Spring Friday. After director Tom Harper joined us in our previous episode to discuss Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Edith hooks up with Tommy Shelby himself, Cillian Murphy, and one of the film's composers, Antony Genn, in New York (thanks to our very good friends at Netflix).

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Tom Harper, director of Netflix's Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Set amid the chaos and turmoil of World War II, it sees Tommy Shelby return from self-imposed exile to do some seriously anti-heroic work to foil a Nazi plot, among many other things. As you'd expect from a Peaky project, the music is sensational, and we take a deep dive with Tom.More ...Edith's websiteSoundtracking On InstagramEdith's InstagramSoundtracking Extra On YoutubeBe In The Scene
