About
Here we take a look at indie music and arthouse cinema, new and old. Host Alex Johnson discusses both of these with DePaul faculty, alumni, and students to explore what makes art interesting and valuable in the DePaul world.
Each week on Hot Takes and Cool Tunes, Alex talks about what’s new in indie music and arthouse cinema and then takes the main portion of the podcast to discuss a chosen theme, from the films of Terrence Malick, to the slow cinema movement, to the best of modal jazz.

Alex Johnson
Hi, everyone! My name is Alex Johnson and I'm a sophomore studying Sound Recording Technology at the School of Music. I began exploring indie music in high school and found a love for artists like Kanye, Bjork, Swans, and the Microphones. In early 2021, I decided to use my free time during the pandemic to explore the world of auteur cinema, becoming an avid fan of Whit Stillman, Stanley Kubrick, and David Lynch. I now spend most of my free time exploring art in all its forms.
