I haven't, but one of the Netflix previews for it had an orchestral cover of Material Girl during a big dance scene, and that really told me all I need to know.

It tells me its status as a period piece is malleable if it's in service of the Funko Pop-owning "I recognize that!" audience on board, and it tells me that an orchestral arrangement of a pop song scoring a scene is still a pop song scoring a scene, which is lame.

It's not the anachronisms that bother me, that's fine. The postmodern jukebox style does nothing for me, in the same way that Lorde-inspired vocalists in trailer music does nothing for me. Music has contexts it's written for, and looking at other songs they took the orchestral clippers to, it doesn't seem like it's got a lot going on behind the eyes in terms of the way the songs are deployed. I can't imagine bad guy by Billie Eilish is deployed in a way other than expressing that a character is a bad guy, you know?

I think the music is fun. That's the point, they're out at these courting events meant to excite the attendees. Sorry that you've become a boring loser who "hates pop music"
