121. Bruce Springsteen 1975 - 1987: Episode 5 ‘Born in the USA’ (1984)

“Glory days, well they'll pass you by”. Podcast co-host Stephen has gotten into Bruce Springsteen in a big way this year (2023). So much so that he’s corralled friend and lifelong Boss fan Davie Melon into joining him for a Springsteen side-series covering his studio output from 1975 to 1987. So join them on their aural adventure from ‘Born to Run’ to ‘Tunnel of Love’ as they critique and rank each album, and create the ultimate under 50 minute, single vinyl Springsteen singles collection. In this, the fifth episode, we revisit Springsteen’s seventh album, by some margin his greatest commercial success - ‘Born in the USA’ (1984). The Boss sold over 29M copies of the album & scored 7 top ten US hit singles from it, including his biggest seller ‘Dancing in the Dark’. Despite its huge success, do Stephen & Davie think the album is on par with Springsteen’s previous releases? Are there any non-singles which deserve more attention? What do they think of each single and where would they rank them? Listen now to find out. Also, look out for archive interview clips, promos and album facts. Come back next month for ‘Tunnel of Love’ (1987). Like the podcast?

86. Queen’s The Miracle (1989) - What unreleased tracks should have been on the album?

Take 2! We recorded the first version of this pod earlier in the year but had to scrap it due to sound issues in editing. So, we reconvened earlier this week to do it all again! What was worth all this effort? Queen’s 1989, UK number one album - ‘The Miracle’. Specifically, the Collectors Edition (CE) of it released last year (2022). Podcast hosts Stephen and Paul critique the CE & use the tracks on it to curate what they feel is the best single vinyl, under 50 minute version of the album. With over 3 hours of music to go through, including unreleased tracks, alternate versions, instrumentals, and b-sides, this was a tough ask for these lifelong Queen fans. Which tracks will get a spot? I Want It All? Breakthru? Scandal? Face It Alone? Have we curated the best version of the record? The one that should have been released in 1989? Listen now to find out. Was it all worth it? Yes! It was a worthwhile experience, ha ha ha!!! Like the podcast?

33. The Omen Movies - Which Are The Spawn of Satan?

"She's smiling when she's doing it, and that's what makes it scarier." Summary In this episode of Trimming the Movie Fat, Stephen and Paul discuss the Omen franchise. They rank and review each film, starting with the original 1976 classic. They praise the film's brilliant cast, memorable scenes, and impactful kills. They also discuss the iconic ending and the contribution of Jerry Goldsmith's outstanding music. They both agree that the original Omen is a top-tier film. They then move on to discuss Omen 2 (1978), noting that while it's good, it doesn't quite reach the same level as the first film. The hosts then share their thoughts on the remaining three films, including the recently released The First Omen (2024) and awful made-for-TV sequel Omen 4: The Awakening (1991).
