FULL EPISODES OF SOUNDTRACKER CAN ONLY BE FOUND EXCLUSIVELY ON PATREON!
Lots and lots of movies have soundtracks. Some are classics. Some are bad. But the majority fall somewhere in between. This podcast is going to take a look at all of them (or, as many as I can). Every week I'll be covering a different movie that had an original motion picture soundtrack, and then digging into the album. One part film discussion, one part music discussion, the Soundtracker podcast is here to help you navigate the wide world of movies and music. In each episode, myself and a guest discuss the movie and its soundtrack, rate each one, give you our picks for the best songs on the soundtrack, and suggest additional recommendations for what to watch or listen to in relation to whatever we're covering. So join me, as I look back at an era that's largely a thing of the past, and maybe you'll find a new favorite film or song along the way. New episodes every Friday. Theme Song provided by Howell Dawdy of Howell Dawdy's Fast Track https://soundcloud.com/howelldawdysfasttrack. Edited by Ross Reilly (@4_5_and_7).

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.

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. Check out Unread here: https://chrisstedmanwriter.com/unread/ Some of Craig's stuff can be found here, but ...
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 poo...
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 e...
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). Listen to ALAB here: https://www.alabseries.com...

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 ex...
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.

It's the season 3 finale and the Christmas episode all in one, so let me fix you some sandwiches while you listen to me talk to three-time guest Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel on Twitter and @kleinman.bsky.social on Blue Sky) about BAD SANTA. In this episode, we talk about how much we miss John Ritter and Bernie Mac, how perfect the casting is, the sweet heart the movie sneaks up on you with, the various cuts that exist and the differences between them, Tony Cox taking the funniest fall ever...
*piano plunking* Today on Soundtracker, I do the first of two Christmas movies to close out the season. And that Christmas movie is EYES WIDE SHUT, which is a Christmas movie if you squint. Joining me to talk about it is Blowback's Noah Kulwin (@nkulw), who brings a great perspective to the deeper themes of the movie. In this episode, we talk about those themes, debate the actual danger Bill was (or wasn't) in, how 90s dank weed would be mids now, get into why this is such a decidedly and pur...
Today on Soundtracker, I'm talking about one of the few Thanksgiving movies with a soundtrack, PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. And I'm joined once again by Michael Chau (@Srirachachau) to talk about it. In this episode we compare this to the rest of John Hughes work, talk a whole whole lot about John Candy, discuss what makes the "twist" at the end land so well, and dig into the fairly weird soundtrack. You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. But at least listen to ...
D'ya like dags? Well I should hope so, because over here at Soundtracker we love dogs. And we love SNATCH, which I'll be talking about today with Robert Maguire (@RobertMaguire_ on Twitter and RobertMaguire on Bluesky). In this episode we talk about what makes Brick Top such a vile villain, how good at swearing Dennis Farina was, how weird it is to watch this now with the career trajectory Jason Statham ended up having, Oasis, and a whole lot more. Support the show on Patreon! It's the one th...
Ok so change of plans from the last episode. I'm unlocking a bonus episode, and it's in honor of last years November theme (Turkey Month). I'm joined in this episode by Twitter Celebrity, barfly, and Peloton guy, Clue Heywood (@ClueHeywood) to talk about the Fat Boys lone starring vehicle, DISORDERLIES.
