Soundtracker

Christmas comes early to Soundtracker. I'm releasing this episode a few days early to help get you through the long drives and/or flights during your holiday travels. For the show's first Christmas episode, it's THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL with a bonus chat about the 1987 television special A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS. I'm joined by Rachel Millman (@rachelmillman) for this episode, who appreciates the Muppets on a much deeper level than you. In this episode we talk about Muppets as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia characters, Muppet history, and pretty much any other Muppet related thing you can imagine.

Today on Soundtracker I cover my second John Singleton movie, HIGHER LEARNING. Joining me is The Left's Premier Social Worker Maria Guido (@Sandernista412). In this episode we talk about the stellar cast, the big ideas (that don't always work), and how the movie and soundtrack are admirable when when they don't always gel.

Today on Soundtracker I'm joined by Chapo Trap House's Felix Biederman (@byyourlogic) to talk about the Hughes Brother's unsung classic, DEAD PRESIDENTS, which also has 2 of the best soundtracks of the 90s. During this episode we talk about the types of movies the Hugheses could be making in a world where 9/11 never happened, the stellar acting from top to bottom, the true story it was based on, and the incredible music.

Today me and the boys from Ruthless Reviews, Plexico Gingrich and L Ron Mexico (@Ruthlessreviews, @LRonMexico), decide to be nice (when we talk about the movie) until it's time to not be nice (when we talk about the soundtrack). It's ROAD HOUSE day here on Soundtracker, and I'm gonna be honest up front: this one is way more about the movie itself. So if you wanna hear Julius Caesar compared to Road House in a way that's actually credible, check it out. We also talk about the soundtrack too, so don't worry. Give it a listen, or we'll come tear your throat out.

This week I'm joined by Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) to talk about the soundtrack to GROSSE POINT BLANK. In this episode we talk about how well the songs work within the film, how good of a run John Cusack had around the time it came out, and our own high school reunion experiences, which weren't nearly as cool as Martin's in the movie.

Today I'm joined by journalist Eoin Higgins (@EoinHiggins_) to talk about the landmark soundtrack for THE CROW. It's one of the albums that gets associated with the soundtrack as a concept and I'm happy to finally cover it. In this episode we talk about the film, what an absolute tragedy the death of Brandon Lee was, how big of a star he might have gone on to be, and the legendary soundtrack.

Today on Soundtracker I'm joined by Scott Wampler (@ScottWamplerBMD) of The Kingcast to talk about David Lynch's LOST HIGHWAY. In this episode we talk about what a singular figure in American filmmaking David Lynch is, how much edibles is too much edibles, that extremely weird commercial for orange juice with Robert Loggia in it, and (as always) the soundtrack itself.

Here at Soundtracker I couldn't get through my first Halloween month without covering a satanic panic/heavy metal horror soundtrack. Thankfully Simon Barrett (@Simon_Barrett, writer: YOU'RE NEXT, THE GUEST, BLAIR WITCH and writer/director of this year's SEANCE) stepped in to cover not one but two movies: John Fasano's heavy metal horror duology BLACK ROSES and ROCK N ROLL NIGHTMARE. In this extra long episode we cover the movies, the soundtracks and a whole lot of other things along the way.

Today I'm joined by Brett Gallman (@brettgallman) of Fangoria and Oh the Horror to discuss one of the greatest horror anthologies ever made: TALES FROM THE HOOD. In this episode we talk about how badly critics whiffed on the movie when it came out, the societal issues that make it just as relevant today as it was when it came out, the boutique labels keeping physical media alive, and the incredible soundtrack.
