Episode 98: Collateral (special Movie Mindset episode, with Will Menaker of Chapo Trap House and Hesse of Seeking Derangements)

Today on Soundtracker I'm joined by Hesse (@ZeroSuitCamus) of the Seeking Derangements podcast and Will Menaker (@WillMenaker) of Chapo Trap House--who together have a podcast miniseries called Movie Mindset--and we're talking about Michael Mann's COLLATERAL. In this episode, we talk about Vincent as the ultimate Grindset Guy, how much the grimy digital look enhances the action, Los Angeles' importance to the story, the dark humor that is often overlooked in discussions on the movie, and the tex-mex heavy soundtrack (yes, that's a real subgenre name).

Episode 100(!): Return of the Living Dead (with Brendan James of Blowback)

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.
