Soundtracker Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1840875 en-us © 2026 Soundtracker yes 6ffc0853-57b3-5d99-af1e-c188b79c83d3 soundtrackerpodcast@gmail.com Eric Peacock episodic true 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).

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 episode.

In this episode we talk about Tupac's charismatic menace as Birdie, the very well-done basketball scenes, Wood Harris, and in a first for the show, we talk about the soundtrack for even longer than we talk about the movie itself. And what a soundtrack it is. Besides the monster singles (Regulate and Afro Puffs), it has a mix of sunny R&B, more great rap offerings (including my favorite Tupac song of all time, Pain), another of my all-time favorite 90s soundtrack songs (Blowed Away by B Rezell) and a smattering of very horny songs to keep things honest. And the entire soundtrack is available on all streaming services, including the 3 songs that you could only find on the cassette version of the soundtrack. Which is something I talk about at great length in the episode. But you'll have to listen to the episode to hear it. Don't do it for me. Do it for Nutso.

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 purposely unerotic movie about sex, and a whole lot more. Oh and there's some soundtrack discussion as well. So put on your best creepy mask and give it a listen.

]]> This weekend, Soundtracker turns 2, and I'm celebrating with one of the "capital B Big" Soundtracks, with SPACE JAM. And joining me to talk about it is comedian John Cullen (@cullenthecomic on Twitter and IG), of the Blocked Party podcast and The P.O.D. Kast. In this episode, we talk about how amazing it is that Michael Jordan allowed jokes at his own expense, how the animation actually still holds up, rank Loony Tunes characters, explain why we like the movie even when we know we shouldn't, and dig into the soundtrack, which is still a complete banger. Let's celebrate 2 years of Soundtracker the only way we know how: by tiptoeing around talking about R Kelly.

It's a movie that's been eclipsed by its soundtrack over the years, but it shouldn't be. And in this episode Michael and I talk about why. It's a movie about loving yourself for who you are, being comfortable with the person you are, and doing what makes you happy even if it's not the norm. All things that resonate pretty strongly in 2023. 

As for the soundtrack: we also discuss Weezer b-sides along with the rest of the soundtrack (which really is one of the best of the 90s), and debate whether or not J.A.R. is the best Green Day song.

Until recently, ANGUS was available on Tubi, but if you have a library card you can watch it for free on Hoopla here: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11749330

It's URGH! A MUSIC WAR, and I'm joined by the always hilarious Blaine Capatch (@blainecapatch on Twitter and BlueSky) to talk about it. 

This is also the first movie I was completely unfamiliar with before Blaine asked to do it, and I'm glad he did. You get to see/hear The Police, Devo, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Go-Gos, Joan Jett, XTC, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark and a whole list of post-punk and new wave bands before they were famous. And being a concert film, the film discussion is light, so expect a lot of music discussion in this episode. And please check out the movie, it's free and it's a really fun watch!

Dimension Films bought the rights to it, and the Weinsteins gave it a new edit with a completely incongruous soundtrack. 

In this episode we talk about the film itself, the incredible final act, Michelle Yeoh being the best, what a force of nature Jackie Chan was in his heydey, whether The Fresh Prince was responsible for Tom Jones 90s revival, how funny it is to see Hong Kong drug lords having a conversation in a car while listening to Warren G, how bad the Black Grape song is, and more.

Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.  And joining me to talk about him is the author of the recently released short story collection, A Creature Wanting Form, Luke O'Neil (@lukeoneil47). Luke is a good man. And thorough.

It's BIG LEBOWSKI time, and in this episode we talk about the impeccable casting, the way it's the delivery that makes so many of the one-liners so memorable, whether Walter would have been a MAGA guy in 2016, the odd choices on the official soundtrack, Kenny Rogers, and the fucking Eagles. So give it a listen, which is in accordance with what we think Donny's dying wishes might well have been.

]]> Daddy would you like some Soundtracker? It's time to talk about FREDDY GOT FINGERED, Tom Green's masterpiece of Bizarro Comedy, and I'm joined once again by Donald Borenstein (@boringstein). In this episode we talk about our issues with people praising the movie as a prank or an anti-comedy,  the insane number of animal penises you see in the movie, how much we want the director's cut, Gordy as a "protagonist", the solid soundtrack and more.

I'm closing Halloween with THE FEAR, a movie I'm sure most of you haven't heard of. But it has one of my all-time favorite soundtracks, and the movie is a genuinely good time. As an added bonus, I'll link to where you can watch it (for free) on Tubi as well as the Spotify playlist I made with a majority of the soundtrack below! How cool is that? Oh and if that isn't enough, I'm joined by Oliver Leach, who most of you know as beloved Twitter user and connoisseur of b-movies, @BAKKOOONN.

It's a much darker movie than I expected, and a movie that takes on an entire new light in 2022. It's one worthy of reevaluation. In this episode we talk about the (not so subtle given what we know now) relationship she has with her parents in the film, how poorly she was treated around the time it came out, how great it is seeing her finally find a happy place, and wonder why this movie hasn't benefitted from her recent outpouring of love and support. On top of that, the soundtrack is a jaw-droppingly cynical move by Jive Records, one I'll probably never see the likes of again on this show. There's a lot of meat to this episode, so I'm hoping you'll join us as we cover a movie I never would have expected to cover on the show, but I'm so glad I did.

On this episode I'm joined by Dan Boeckner (@DanBoeckner) of Wolf Parade, Operators and The Bottlemen Podcast to talk about Joel Schumacher's 1987 vampire classic THE LOST BOYS. In it, we cover how certain songs sometimes get picked to be on soundtracks (which Dan has real life experience with), aging 1970s rockers struggling to adjust to 80s style production, remembering the soundtrack being way more gothic than it actually is, and how the entire album came together in the first place.
