A Wisconsin-based movie might be the feel-good film of the holiday season. We’ll talk about how actor Hugh Jackman is in Milwaukee for the premiere of “Song Sung Blue,” telling the story of a couple whose Neil Diamond tribute band was a bit of a local sensation in the 1980s and ‘90s. With a host whose mom raised him on a steady diet of Neil Diamond tunes, we’ll ask about your guilty musical pleasures. It’s okay, you can admit you still listen to a lot of the Carpenters — or worse, Nickelback!
