58: TÁR / Rovero Brachetto

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

Is embattled conductor Lydia Tár a bad person? And more importantly, what does she order at the bar? Is this sweet and bubbly rosé a good counterpoint to a haunted character study, or would you prefer something darker and more complex? Will our hosts succeed in their New Year’s resolution to be nicer to one another on mic? Switch off any phantom metronomes and delete any compromising emails before pressing Play on the first episode of our four part Oscars Extravaganza!
