And though Marcus doesn't usually care about openers or believe in love at first sight, he does believe in love at first sound, which is why he becomes fully entranced by this mystery girl the moment he sees how hot she is hears her sing. Wendy, played by the definitely-not-a-teenager, then 27-year-old Madeline Brewer, is the indie-pop opener at the concert Marcus has a seizure at. But while it’s awfully convenient that this tragic occurrence would happen to this specific boy, what’s even more convenient is that right before he learns of this untimely fate, he meets the funny, edgy, cool-girl of his dreams: Wendy. I’m sure anyone - not just people with a weird headphone-layering quirk - would be devastated to learn they were going to lose their hearing. While the doctors give little explanation as to why these tumors are harmful, they recommend they be removed even though Marcus will go deaf in the process. Unfortunately, Marcus ends up having a seizure at a concert, which leads doctors to discover a couple of non-cancerous tumors near his brain. The Ultimate Playlist of Noise is about Marcus (Keean Johnson), a teenager who loves hearing things so much that he constantly wears a pair of headphones and earbuds at the same time - one for music and one for ambiance. Here's your warning that, yes, there will be a lot of spoilers about the film's romance. In order to understand why Wendy is a terribly written character, however, we have to take a deeper look at this film's plot. And while there are many reasons (from the film's shaky handling of mental illness to the farfetched story itself) why I could scream Don't waste your time watching this coming-of-age tale when there are so many better ones out there, Wendy - the film's central love interest - is perhaps the single biggest problem. So I thought to myself, how bad could it be?Īs it turns out, pretty bad.
But it also promised a story with romance, road trips, and rock music. The trailer teased a fair amount of young adult entertainment tropes, including that of the sick-teen-in-love, found in films like The Fault in Our Stars (2014) and Five Feet Apart (2019), based on young adult novels written by John Green and Rachael Lippincott with Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis. I was a little worried about Hulu's recent film release, The Ultimate Playlist of Noise, even before I watched it. Hulu’s ‘The Ultimate Playlist of Noise’ is a lesson in how not to write a female love interest
