Today on Soundtracker, I bite my thumb, but not at thee. Unless you're into that. That's right, it's time for another one of the big ones, ROMEO+ JULIET, and joining me is Twitter nice guy and my mortal nemesis, AK Lingus (@aklingus). In this episode we talk about how huge this movie seemed at the time it released, how cleverly it manages to tie Shakespeare's dialogue and themes with modern times, John Leguizamo's excellent turn as Tybalt, why you couldn't make a modern Romeo and Juliet within a few years of this being made, the extremely excellent soundtrack and more. Don't be Fortune's Fool, give this one a listen today!

Today on Soundtracker I'm returning to Wes Anderson with THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, and I'm joined by the host of Select and Start Podcast, Keifer Lirette (@DannyVegito). In this episode, we discuss Hackman's difficulty on set, his great performance as Royal, the dynamics of the characters, how this movie above all others nails the "Wes Anderson feel", our conflicted feelings on the use of Needle in the Hay, the very Wes Anderson soundtrack and General Custer. Spoiler: everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this episode presupposes is...maybe he didn't.

Today on Soundtracker it's time to return to the Danger Zone (?), with another Kenny Loggins led soundtrack in FOOTLOOSE. Joining me is Gawker editor and beloved Twitter user Brandy Jensen (@BrandyLJensen), in a very lean and efficient episode. In this episode, we talk how much weirder the movie is than we remembered, how much better it is for it, John Lithgow's nuanced performance, how dangerous Ariel is, the incredibly stacked soundtrack and more. So hit play, and..... LET'S DANCE!

It's a very special occasion today on Soundtracker, as the show is officially 1 year old. Joining me to help celebrate are Eric Szyszka (@ericszyszka) and Chris Cabin (@crabin) of the excellent We Hate Movies podcast (@WHMpodcast), and we're talking about 1996's much-maligned attempt to turn Pamela Anderson into an action star, BARB WIRE. In this episode we all agree that this movie isn't as bad as its reputation, talk about what it got right, what it got wrong, the incredible supporting cast, which includes Temuera Morrison, Clint Howard, Steve Railsback, Jack Noseworthy, and Udo Kier.  We also discuss the incredibly awful Tommy Lee song, and the rest of the very hit or miss soundtrack. Don't call us babe. But do listen to this episode.

On today's episode, I'm back to talking Scorsese. This time it's THE COLOR OF MONEY, and joining me is Christian Steinbacher (@TSSteinbacher) of the excellent Report This Post podcast (@ReportThisPost). In this episode we talk pool, Tom Cruise being a charismatic madman, people misunderstanding the ending, how it's both obvious and not obvious that Marty was a hired gun for this project, Don Henley being terrible, how excellent Warren Zevon was, and more.

Do you like Prince? Do you like Batman? Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? If you answered yes to at least 2 out of 3 of those questions do I have an episode for you. That's right, it's episode 50 (!!!): BATMAN, and joining me is the founder of The Second Disc, writer, and the only person who likes Prince more than I do, Mike Duquette (@sir__duque on Twitter and @sir_duque on IG).

Today on Soundtracker, I'm talking about PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, and joining me is the current #2 ranked Bellator heavyweight, reptile lover, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fan Linton "The Swarm" Vassell. Linton has an upcoming heavyweight title fight, and he still found time to sit and talk about this movie with me, which I appreciate a ton. In this episode, we talk about Danny McBride, Bone, the wonderful bromance between Dale and Saul, knowing people in real life like Saul, the way this balances action with stoner comedy so well, and the soundtrack. It's my cat's birthday, and he'd really appreciate it if you gave this episode a listen.

Today I'm joined by professional boxer, former world kickboxing champion, former WBO junior welterweight champion, nutritionist and author Chris Algieri (@chris_algieri on Twitter and IG) to talk about STREET FIGHTER, which has one of the most underrated of all 90s soundtracks. It features Ice Cube, Nas, The Pharcyde, and many more doing all original songs inspired by the Street Fighter IP. In this episode we talk a lot about Raul Julia's incredible performance, JCVD's on-set issues, Chris breaks down what worked (and what didn't) in the fighting scenes, we get to the bottom of why this movie isn't exactly good but it's also definitely fun, and talk about the killer soundtrack.

Today I'm joined by Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter (of The Format, fun. as well as solo) and host of ClayneCast Nate Ruess to talk about Ben Stiller's very dark comedy, THE CABLE GUY. In this episode we pat ourselves on the back for liking the movie even back when it came out, give a lot of love to mid-90s alt-rock, discuss Andy Dick, realize that Steven was actually a pretty bad friend, and, of course, talk about Jim Carrey. So give it a listen, it'll juice you up.
