Jon Reilly from the Life's But a Song Podcast stops by to talk about Richard Linklater's 2003 film, School of Rock. A movie that has since become a musical on Broadway. There was enough discussion about School of Rock to fill this episode as well as an episode on Life's But a Song, so please check that out as well, with guests Ryan and Nicole.The soundtrack for School of Rock is a mix of some original tunes from a couple of fake bands (The School of Rock and No Vacancy) as well as music from a bunch of classic rock royalty... and also The Darkness. We dive into the song writers for the fake bands (Warren Fitzgerald, Craig Wedren, and Sammy James Jr), the rock score for the film (by Craig Wedren), and our favorite soundtrack supervisor, Randall Poster, who has supervised soundtracks for Richard Linklater films multiple times.For More Information about Life's But a Song:IG: butasongpodTwitter: butasongpod

Trigger Warning: There is brief mention of sexual assault in this episode since it is central to the plot of The Crow.Colin Jackson-Brown from the podcasts, Free with This Months's Issue and We Dig Music, talks with Brandice and Ryan about the 1994 Alex Proyas film, The Crow. The film was a sleeper hit, while the soundtrack debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart and went on to go triple platinum. The soundtrack featured The Cure, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Helmet and Nine Inch Nails (covering Joy Division), among other artists, so it's success was much less of a surprise.Many of the bands were referenced in the comic books for The Crow, so Colin explains those connections. He also mentions a previously pitched vision for for The Crow that would've been absolutely insane. The discussion focuses primarily on the music, but obviously, the tragic on set death of Brandon Lee cannot be avoided.
