“Waltz #1” by Elliott Smith
My first guest is Sophie Thatcher, an actor and musician whose credits include starring in the TV show Yellowjackets, the film Heretic, and the new movie Companion. I met Sophie through Companion, because I composed the score to the film, and she contributes vocals to a few of the tracks I wrote. For this episode, we discussed how “Waltz #1” by Elliott Smith shaped Sophie’s tastes and work.
