Local celebrity Robbie Williams gets the edit from the Blastfrom team. We take his critically derided, but highly successful 1998 album I've Been Expecting You and edit it down to tow sides of a single LP.

Released in the heyday of the compact disc, this was a prime example of the technology. Square peg, meet round hole.

Blastfrom Castfrom - Bad Boys

Bad Boys

Blastfrom Castfrom

03/22/23 • 60 min

Warning: This episode contains every possible SPOILER for the movie Bad Boys (1995).

To celebrate the recent announcement of the next Bad Boys sequel and also feed our newfound obsession with notorious Oscar slapper Will Smith - we present the review of the original Bad Boys movie.

In hindsight, the huge success of this film leaves little for you to wonder about. But when it was released in 1995 there was no guarantee this would work at all. A generic Miami Vice rip off action movie, directed by a nobody and starring two sitcom actors.

So we blast back to 1995 and see what all the fuss was about.

Blastfrom Castfrom - Critical Lug - Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny
play

03/13/23 • 36 min

Bad Bunny was the most streamed artist on Spotify in the year 2022. Having no idea what a Bad Bunny sounds like, we turn to the music critics.

Critical Lug is where we rely exclusively on the writing music critics to guide us on whether or not an album is worth listening to.

How many overwrought analogies can they draw upon; how many platitudes can they produce to effectively describe the sound of Bad Bunny’s 2022 album ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’?

And is it possible for a person to become furious about music they’ve never heard?
