Soundtracker

Today on Soundtracker, there's this fella I wanna tell ya' about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.  And joining me to talk about him is the author of the recently released short story collection, A Creature Wanting Form, Luke O'Neil (@lukeoneil47). Luke is a good man. And thorough.

It's BIG LEBOWSKI time, and in this episode we talk about the impeccable casting, the way it's the delivery that makes so many of the one-liners so memorable, whether Walter would have been a MAGA guy in 2016, the odd choices on the official soundtrack, Kenny Rogers, and the fucking Eagles. So give it a listen, which is in accordance with what we think Donny's dying wishes might well have been.

Today on Soundtracker I'm joined once again by Desi Jedeikin (@DesiJed on Twitter and IG) and Rachel Fisher (@TheRachelFisher on Twitter, childlikeempress on IG) of Hollywood Crime Scene (@hwoodcrimescene on Twitter, hollywoodcrimescene on IG) only this time, they're both here together, AND, I'm over on Hollywood Crime Scene for my first true Soundtracker crossover episode. And the crossover theme is The Zodiac Killer. They're here talking Fincher's modern masterpiece, ZODIAC, and I'm over there talking the actual Zodiac case!

In this episode, we talk about the film's long road to getting made, the overarching theme of obsession destroying lives, Toschi and Armstrong's love of animal crackers, give our own personal Zodiac theories, marvel at how it conveys the passage of time through musical cues, our hopes to bring back the Aqua Velva drink, the basement scene being the scariest thing outside of a horror film, the way Hurdy Gurdy Man will never be heard the same, Greysmith's many faults, Robert Downey Jr's killer performance, and a whole lot more.

Today, Soundtracker is back with a new episode. And then? Well, I'll be talking about DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? And then? And, I'll be joined by Vince Mancini (@VinceMancini). And then? Uh, you can listen to it now. And then? NO MORE AND THEN!

It's another kinda-sorta 4/20 episode, despite the fact we never actually see the mains smoke weed in the movie. Join us as we talk about the Uncanny Valley level of the plot and the production values, how it's an undeniably dumb but still pretty funny movie, the extremely Y2K soundtrack, and listen as we try to figure out what our new tattoos say.

Today on Soundtracker, I swear if you rag on me 13 or 14 more times, I'm outta here! However, if you don't, you can listen to me talk about BASEKETBALL, where I'm joined by Bree Rody (@prune__tracy), of the Peak Show podcast(@peakshowpod), a show I've been a guest on twice now. In this episode, we talk about Matt and Trey, Zucker's pre and post 9/11 comedy, how the movie is shockingly less problematic than you'd think in 2023, the parts of the movie that got modern sports right, Playmate of the year Victoria Silvstedt, Mr October (not Reggie Jackson, Dwayne Zackamore), Squeak being the best, and the ska flavored, very 2000 soundtrack. Wake up bitch, you're my new best friend!

Today on Soundtracker, I'm joined once again by Matt Christman (@cushbomb) of Chapo Trap House to talk about Quentin Tarantino, and this time we're talking PULP FICTION. In this episode, we talk about what a doofus Vincent Vega is, why it doesn't matter what's in the briefcase, how tense the Mia overdose scene is, Butch and Marcellus' very bad day, Chuck Berry's only #1 hit being My Dingaling, surf rock, and Tarantino's way with a needle drop.

Due to some more personal circumstances there will be no new episode today. The hope is to be back again next week. But in the meantime I'm starting a new feature, which is previewing the bonus episodes for non-patrons to sample.

Today on Soundtracker, I heard you wanted to be a farmer. Here's a couple of acres. It's LAST ACTION HERO, and I'm joined by musician Patrick Cosmos (@veryimportant) to talk about it. In this episode, we talk about what it could have looked like without Shane Black's touch, the incredibly messy production, Charles Dance, how this contains some of Arnold's best one-liners, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, and the death of the 80s. Not listening would be a big mistake.

Today on Soundtracker, I'm joined once again by Henry Gilbert (@hEnereyG) of Talking Simpsons (@TalkSimpsonsPod) in part one of another two-parter, this time on Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN. In this episode, we talk about the long road to getting Spidey to the big screen, why Raimi was a perfect choice to direct it, compare this to the modern MCU movies, the perfect casting, the Green Goblin costume, how different this could have looked with other directors and actors, and a whole lot more. With great power comes great responsibility, and it's your responsibility to listen to this episode.
