Soundtracker
Eric Peacock
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.

Soundtracker
09/23/22 • 99 min
Today on Soundtracker, I bite my thumb, but not at thee. Unless you're into that. That's right, it's time for another one of the big ones, ROMEO+ JULIET, and joining me is Twitter nice guy and my mortal nemesis, AK Lingus (@aklingus). In this episode we talk about how huge this movie seemed at the time it released, how cleverly it manages to tie Shakespeare's dialogue and themes with modern times, John Leguizamo's excellent turn as Tybalt, why you couldn't make a modern Romeo and Juliet within a few years of this being made, the extremely excellent soundtrack and more. Don't be Fortune's Fool, give this one a listen today!

Halloween continues this week here at Soundtracker, and I'm joined by the host of The Best Little Horror House in Philly, George Heftler (@LittleHorrorPHL) to talk about BLADE. In this episode we talk about how amazing it is that BLADE basically gave us the MCU, the long road to getting the movie made, Wesley Snipes being Wesley Snipes, do our best vampire puns, I (correctly) state that werewolves are better than vampires, talk about the music and more. Some mf'ers are always trying to ice skate uphill. Don't be one of them. Listen to this episode.

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.

It's a very special episode here today on Soundtracker, for a few reasons. First, it's the 100th episode! Second, it's the official start of Soundtracker's 3rd annual Halloween celebration. And finally, I've got Brendan James of the incredible Blowback podcast here to talk with me about RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.
In this episode, we talk about the music of Blowback, have a long conversation on John Carpenter, talk about horror movies in general, get to the bottom of why zombies are such great fodder for comedy, discuss the underrated way this movie balances true horror with comedy, talk about the subtle anti-Reagan social commentary, and look into the genre of death rock when we talk about the soundtrack.
