Soundtrack City

Ohhh myyyyy! Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the ole soundtrack podcast, look who’s back in town! Spooky Season has settled in and we are *ready* for all the scary movies! In this episode, Franky explores the music from a teen slasher mystery about a car accident one summer ago. Misa delves into the score of a ~sequel~ that she loves very dearly. Hint? She talked about part 1 during last year’s Spooky Season… *Both* of the films discussed today were released in 1997. Ahh, simpler times. Let us take you back for a bit! Nothing interesting happening in 2020 anyway… :) GO VOTE!

You’ve tasted blood and you want more? Here is Part 2 of our very special episode dedicated to The Rocky Horror Picture Show! We further discuss the film and its soundtrack but we also delve into some theories. Like what was Dr. Scott *really* up to? Can you believe for one second Frank-N-Furter might’ve been played by someone else? And speaking of that gorgeous mad scientist, guess which WCW alumni once donned the pearls and fishnets on stage as Frank? PLUS, fun facts about the musical, film, and legacy! Give yourself over to absolute pleasure as we remind you of just how special this film truly is.

Enter at your own risk!! Soundtrack City is officially 1 today! What better way to celebrate than by discussing *the ultimate midnight movie* - The Rocky Horror Picture Show! In Part 1 of this very special episode, your hosts Misa and Franky talk about all things Rocky Horror, from the development of the stage production to the cult phenomenon it has become! We even share our origin stories from when we each first saw this magical movie. We also briefly discuss the remake and why it lacked. We hope you enjoy our commentary as we delve into songs like “Science Fiction/Double Feature” and “Over at the Frankenstein Place,” among others. You may know them… You’ve arrived on a rather special night, wild & untamed thing! Join us as we kick off Part 1 of our episode with just a jump to the left…! Check out Part 2: "Late Night Double Feature" after this, as well as our blog for all video and audio clips! https://soundtrackcitypod.wordpress.com

Find out why songs by The Killers, Incubus, Ginuwine, and SouthFM (among others) mean so much to the birthday girl. Visit our Instagram @heysoundtrackcity if you'd like to leave Franky some love! What songs are on the soundtrack to *your* life? Tell us! Pluuus, we announce our plans for Soundtrack City's 1-year! We see you shiver... ;) Happy birthday, Franky!

Black Lives Matter. Black. Lives. Matter. BLACK LIVES MATTER. No matter how we say it, it will always be true. We at Soundtrack City stand with the movement and we are doing our part to fight back with you. In this episode, Misa and Franky each chose movies directed by and featuring black figures in film. Misa covers the soundtrack to Creed, a new story in the Rocky Balboa universe about Apollo Creed's son aspiring to make a name for himself. Franky's choice is from within the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Black Panther, a story about a king who must do right by his country and take down those with ill intentions. We hope these movies and soundtracks can serve as an uplifting outlet and may it encourage you to fight for good and justice.

You sent us your questions and we got really honest! We talk about our deepest fears, the ones we've loved & lost, movies we *don't* like, and we break into the occasional sing-a-long... :) For those of you who haven't heard King Finn's new single yet, we play a sweet snippet of it for you! Be sure to check out "Welcome the Sun" in full and (safely) support local music!

...because everything is not! It's okay not to be okay. We feel it too. In this episode, Misa tells us all about Randy "The Ram" Robinson and Franky takes us back to the 90's with a dark comedy about the beautiful ones! Laugh, cry, and laugh until you cry, and we hope you find comfort in the music. :)

As the world comes to a halt, all we want is to move! In this episode, Franky covers a musically-powered story about a getaway driver, and Misa takes us on a road trip with a pack of bikers where hilarity ensues. Wishing everyone well during these troubling times. :)

"The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation." In this episode, we take a light-hearted look at the apocalypse with some of our favorite movies about the end of times. Misa covers a hilarious zombie film set in London, and Franky invites us to a star-studded party which is the perfect place to be before the rapture! We hope good movies and great soundtracks are helping you get through. :)

Happy Breakfast Club Day! 36 years ago, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal met in a library and their lives were changed forever. In their 2nd collaborative episode, Franky and Misa cover the soundtrack (and much more) to this iconic, John Hughes film!
