Barry Jenkins and Edgar Wright Nerd Out About Tame Impala

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Jun 19, 2017

Though they've both been celebrated for their achievements as directors, Barry Jenkins and Edgar Wright are no slouches when it comes to music either, as they proved with a Twitter back-and-forth about Tame Impala.

Jenkins gave five fire emojis out of five to the Australian psych rockers' track "Mind Mischief," saying "this one has just come roaring back for me, didn't even listen to it this much when it first released."

Wright hit back, announcing that his own choice Lonerism cut was "Apocalypse Dreams," which prompted Jenkins to ask why Tame Impala's music wasn't featured in Wright's recent Baby Driver. "Sequel? With an all Tame soundtrack?" Wright wrote. "Can't call it 'TAME DRIVER' though."
