*IN SYNC

A Taylor Swift needle-drop? YES, CHEF!

Rachel and Aviv jump into the kitchen to cook up a packed episode, discussing the FX/Hulu series, The Bear, and the use of Taylor Swift's Love Story. Plus, former Pastry Chef and current Organizer, Colleen Koperek, joins them to discuss the reality the show brings to the table.

Nobody puts Rachel & Aviv in a corner.

Rachel and Aviv are joined by culture journalist Jake Kring-Schreifels to talk the 1987 film, Dirty Dancing, and the needle-drop that became synonymous with the movie.

This week we welcome journalist and author Stephen Kearse to discuss the profound impact of Spike Lee's iconic film, Do The Right Thing. Released in 1989, the movie remains an intriguing lens into the realities and complexities of living in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood. We dissect unforgettable moments, including the powerful use of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power", and analyze the film's complex dynamics of race, class, and gender. Stephen shares his insights on the movie's impact, both at the time of its release and its continued relevance today. Our conversation explores the generational divide in the film, the connection between Public Enemy and the protest cannon, and the legacy of "Fight the Power."

Rachel and Aviv are back for the second, and finale, part of their look back at That Thing You Do! but this time with some help.

Tom Everett Scott ("Guy Patterson") joins the show, recounting behind-the-scenes stories, the legacy of the movie, and whether or not he's sick of the song [he's not].

I... am... Spartacus.

Rachel and Aviv look back at the Playtone catalog and the story of the little-known band from Erie, PA – The Oneders.. err.. The Wonders!

This week, they look back at the directorial debut of Tom Hanks (who also wrote the story) and the title song within.

In this episode of *IN SYNC, Rachel and Aviv dive into the world of Showtime's Yellowjackets and the pivotal needle drop of Radiohead's Climbing Up the Walls as they uncover the inspirations behind the series, and the Emmy-winning music supervisor Nora Felder's impact on the show

Spoiler Alert: This episode contains spoilers for the season 2 finale of Yellowjackets.

Rachel and Aviv continue their discussion of Yellowjackets, reflecting on the season finale, and (of course) the needle-drops.

This week, Rachel and Aviv are joined by Jordan Ross, co-creator of "Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical" as they talk about Bitter Sweet Symphony, the impact of the movie on a generation, and how the musical came together.

Way before Gossip Girl, no elite and wealthy teen from the Upper East Side was as vicious as Kathryn Merteuil. The late-90s teen movie that spawned a killer soundtrack, and potentially a step-sibling kink, included a perfect needle-drop to wrap the story. But that track also included some intense drama of its own.

The third episode of HBO's The Last Of Us, based on the video game, brings the emotional story of Frank and Bill, punctuated by the melody from Linda Ronstadt's 1970s track, Long Long Time.

In this episode, Rachel and Aviv take a deeper look into the song, the episode, and how the track made its way into the episode.
