Howdy do crooners, belters, and smooth operators! Our Heart of Stone marathon continues on this week as we take a look at the film that got Stone her first Oscar, La La Land. That's right, Damien Chazelle returns to the analysis table with his Classic Hollywood Musical. We discuss music, what it takes to accomplish dreams (and when to sell out), and much, much more as we discuss La La Land and Emma Stone's continued rise.
