I'm closing out Halloween with THE FACULTY, which has thankfully grown a big following in the years since it released. And joining me is Brandon Sutton (@prettybadlefty on both Twitter and Blue Sky) who has some really great reads on the themes of the movie. We also talk about Josh Hartnett's haircut, the cast, the soundtrack, and a whole lot of other things. So do some drugs from a Bic pen and give it a listen.

Well I've had some scheduling conflicts the last few weeks but everything's back on track, however in the meantime I'm unlocking a bonus episode. It fits the season and it was just sitting right there. I'm joined once again by author Chris Stedman (@ChrisDStedman), host of the Unread podcast, and Vulture's Craig Jenkins (@CraigSJ) to talk about the very 2001 QUEEN OF THE DAMNED.

Some of Craig's stuff can be found here, but I suggest looking into anything he's written:

Look, you all know why you're here. You wanna hear us talk about Ninja Rap. Well, you're in luck, because I'm joined once again by Henry Gilbert (@hEnereyG on Twitter and @henereyg.bsky.social on BlueSky) of the Talking Simpsons podcast, and we definitely talk about that song--as well as a whole lot of other stuff--while we dig into TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE. So check it out, and as always, GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!

Well, I'm still here! And today I'm joined by Alex Goldman (@AGoldmund) and Juniper (@CantEverDie) of Western Kabuki (@WesternKabuki)--which began its life as a Nicolas Cage podcast--to talk about GONE IN 60 SECONDS, which I hadn't seen since it first came out, and actually hated back then. Do I like it now? You'll have to listen to find out! (Yes, I do). 

In this episode we talk about what an incredible name Memphis Raines is, the incredible cast, the great car stunts, the one piss poor CGI stunt, Angelina Jolie's extremely Y2K hairstyle, Delroy Lindo, and the shockingly good soundtrack. So check it out, and remember: it never Raines, it pours.

If you don't follow me on Twitter, or you just missed it, I'm in the midst of a completely frivolous trademark dispute with some guy who records the sounds of crickets in the snow. I'll explain better in the episode. Hopefully I'm still here next week, and I can finally post the GONE IN 60 SECONDS episode, which was supposed to come out today. Love you all!

Today is a big one for the show. First of all, it turns 3 today. Oh, and also, I finally FINALLY get to talk about my favorite soundtrack of all time, ABOVE THE RIM--which just so happens to also soundtrack a very good movie. Oh, and ALSO, I'm joined by the very funny duo that makes up the Third Time's the Charm podcast, Coley Mick (@ColeyMick) and Tyler (you know him as Trill Withers, or @TylerIAm on Twitter), who bring their knowledge of basketball and horny R&B music for a very funny episode.

In this episode we talk about Tupac's charismatic menace as Birdie, the very well-done basketball scenes, Wood Harris, and in a first for the show, we talk about the soundtrack for even longer than we talk about the movie itself. And what a soundtrack it is. Besides the monster singles (Regulate and Afro Puffs), it has a mix of sunny R&B, more great rap offerings (including my favorite Tupac song of all time, Pain), another of my all-time favorite 90s soundtrack songs (Blowed Away by B Rezell) and a smattering of very horny songs to keep things honest. And the entire soundtrack is available on all streaming services, including the 3 songs that you could only find on the cassette version of the soundtrack. Which is something I talk about at great length in the episode. But you'll have to listen to the episode to hear it. Don't do it for me. Do it for Nutso.

The Helldude (@allahliker on Twitter, @helldude.bsky.social over on Bluesky) returns, and this time we're shifting gears from DEEP COVER to REPO MAN, the essential sci-fi punk comedy. In this episode we talk about the long road to this movie becoming the cult classic it is now, Harry Dean Stanton being the greatest difficult actor who ever lived, the punk soundtrack and a lot more. Listen to it while you're eating sushi (and not paying for it).

American Pie turned 25 on Tuesday, and if learning that is throwing you into some sort of crisis mode, why not work through it with myself and Ben Collins (formerly the disinformation reporter for NBC News/currently the CEO of The Onion) as we revisit the movie and its soundtrack for the occasion. In this episode, we talk a lot about how this movie holds up in 2024, discuss what happened to the cast, bemoan Seann William Scott not having become a Megastar, compare it to our own high school experiences, wonder how teenagers in 2024 would feel about the movie, and talk about the mostly good, EXTREMELY 1999 soundtrack.

Do you like apples? What about soundtracks? I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, other than to say today on Soundtracker I get to talk about Elliott Smith to a great extent, and joining me is returning guest and author Luke O'Neil (@lukeoneil47), as we dig into GOOD WILL HUNTING.
