Culture Gabfest - The Godfather Is Great, but Is It Cake?

Culture Gabfest - The Godfather Is Great, but Is It Cake?

This week, the panel begins by revisiting the iconic film The Godfather in celebration of its 50th anniversary. Then, the panel answers the question Is It Cake? as they cut into Netflix’s newest hit. Finally, the panel is joined by Associate Professor of Music Theory at the University of Memphis, Jeremy Orosz, to discuss forensic musicology and what counts as musical plagiarism—which he wrote about for Slate, using Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” lawsuit as a case study.

In Slate Plus, the panel discusses reverse thematic aversions, or “thematic kinks.”
