Soundtracker

Hi, I'm Eric Peacock, welcome to Soundtracker...where today I'm joined once again by AK Lingus (@aklingus.bsky.social) to talk about what Jackass says about modern male trauma. Just kidding, we're mostly talking about how funny it is seeing guys get hit in the nuts for 90 minutes. It's what they would have wanted as they prepare to ride off into the sunset with the final movie, which also releases today.

We do delve into some of what shifted in the general consensus from when Jackass first began (hand-wringing over how it was corrupting the youth) to where it is today (a beloved institution that is much smarter than it should be), but mostly we just talk about how funny it is when Johnny Knoxville says things like "I have bursitis". So put on your thong, break out the Party Boy theme, and let's go, because I kinda feel like partying right now.

Will Menaker is joining the show once again, this time to talk about Tony Scott's 1990 film DAYS OF THUNDER. In this episode we talk the incredible character names (Cole Trickle! Buck Bretherton! Harry Hogg!), the coke-filled making-of, and more.

Sorry for the delay on this, school is approaching the final lap and it's busy as hell. But here it is: the preview for the March episodes, which you can only find exclusively at www.patreon.com/soundtracker this season. I covered HIGH FIDELITY, with Bobby Big Wheel (@kleinman.bsky.social) and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER with Jesse Hawken (@jessehawken, @jessehawken.bsky.social) the host of the Junk Filter Podcast (@junkfilterpod) and they ended up going together thematically much more than I ever expected. They're very fun discussions, so I hope you check them out, and if you want more you can find it, once again, at www.patreon.com/soundtracker

Well, as you can see by the runtime on this episode, there's some changes coming this season. Long story short, I had to cut it down to either doing the episodes on Patreon only, or end the show altogether. Well, I still want to keep making episodes, so I went with the former. I explain further in the episode, as well as give a ten minute preview of the season premiere. If you want to keep your up with the show, you can do so at www.patreon.com/soundtracker

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.

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.

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.
