This week I'm continuing my John Carney filmography re-watch with his second musical film, Begin Again. I start the pod in a bit of a different way making a smoked cocktail before diving in to discuss the history of the film, the recent stage musical run, the parallels in story and themes to Once, and my overall thoughts on the film.
