It's been a minute! In this episode we wanted to do a little checkin after a summer off of recording and chat some of our top Horror of the Halloween season, as well as some shows we've been watching and new bands we have been listening to. We talk this season's big ones like; Nope, Barbarian, Pearl, and dive deeper into Halloween Ends and its soundtrack. We also chat the Irish series, Derry Girls. This episode does contain some minor spoilers, because no matter how hard we try- somethings get a little spoiled (go watch the movies!).

We also talk about some of the new music we have both been loving. Some of Abbie's picks include: Momma, https://www.mommaband.com/ , and their new album "Household Name"; New Zealand's The Beths https://thebeths.com/ , and their new one "Expert in a Dying Field" . Jon talks more about his new love of Turnstile, https://www.turnstilehardcore.com/ , their new one "Go Glow" , and their rise to opening for Blink 182 ; as well as Toronto based Treehouse of Horror, https://treehouseofhorrormp3.bandcamp.com/ , and they lead us to talking about London ON's The Thunder Queens https://www.instagram.com/thunderqueensband/?hl=en

We play some clips from Sebadoh's Bakesale released on Subpop in 1994; Momma's Household Name on Polyvore in 2022; Turnstile's Go Glow on Roadrunner Records; and Treehouse of Horror from Songs We Wrote.

This week we take it back to 1999 but make it Shakespearean once again with 10 Things I Hate About You. The film, directed by Jill Unger and released on Touchstone Pictures, Mad Chance, and Jaret Entertainment had a true banger of a soundtrack released on Hollywood records, also in 1999. This soundtrack has been heralded as one of the most iconic of the 90's and with tracks like Letters to Cleo's cover of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" and Nick Lowe's "Cruel to be Kind" along with classics like George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" it isn't hard to figure out why. We discuss the film at length and Jon lays down a pretty fun fact about what song you NEED to sing in your career if you want to land a role as the next Batman Villian.

Welcome to the episode where Jon gushes nearly the entire time about his favourite movie- we ask "is this what started Mallrats?!"- and once again, more gushing over montages, cuties, and the cast overall. We talk Dazed and Confused, the film, extensively and do get to the super male driven soundtrack (yes, the reason Abbie was never super into it). We ponder what "hoochie coo" means and spoiler- don't figure out the definition.

This episode we travel back to 1996 for Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. This is a soundtrack that you HAVE to discuss if you grew up in the 90's because it had everything- heavy hitters and up and comers alike. We talk the wild, mad, sexiness of the 10 seconds of Garbage's "#1 Crush", the earworm that continues to be The Cardigans "Lovefool", the sultry beauty of Des'ree, dive deeper into where Butthole Surfers got that god awful name, and explore how The Wannadies are back, baby on TikTok.

How could we talk this soundtrack without talking about this absolutely teen life altering film and its cast; Luhrmann's rendition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet takes on a full 90's aesthetic that somehow ended up being quite timeless. With actors like Leo DiCaprio, Claire Danes, Paul Rudd, Jon Leguizomo, and Harold Perrineau, it is easy to see why the film itself had such staying power (even when the majority of audiences aren't paying the closest of attention to the Shakespearean English). 

Tracks discussed in this episode: 1. "#1 Crush" Garbage 2."Local God"Everclear  3. "Angel" Gavin Friday  4."Pretty Piece of Flesh"One Inch Punch 5."Kissing You" (Love Theme from Romeo + Juliet) Des'ree  6."Whatever (I Had a Dream)" Butthole Surfers 7. "Lovefool" The Cardigans  8. "Young Hearts Run Free" Kym Mazelle   9. "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" Quindon Tarver 10. "To You I Bestow" Mundy  11. "Talk Show Host" Radiohead  12. "Little Star" Stina Nordenstam 13. "You and Me Song" The Wannadies

This episode we head back to 1984 for what Jon asserts is a "near perfect film"- Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer fight for their lives to dance in Herbert Ross directed, Dean Pitchford's "Footloose". The soundtrack naturally delivers, and if you can't imagine (with plenty of suspended disbelief) that these jams could be played on a small boombox and somehow infiltrate every room, car, and crevice of a small town- then you aren't trying hard enough to feel the rhythm within. We wax and wain nostalgic about most things 80's and all things childhood and simpler times, as well as question how reckless kids really did drive in yester years. 

A film that was distributed by Paramount Picture and the soundtrack released on Colombia, offers lots of laughs and Jon having to remind Abbie plenty of times who is who, in a super fun conversation. 

Track listing: Kenny Loggins- Footloose; Deniece Williams– Let's Hear It For The Boy; Mike Reno And Ann Wilson– Almost Paradise...Love Theme From FOOTLOOSE; Bonnie Tyler– Holding Out For A Hero; Shalamar– Dancing In The Sheets; Kenny Loggins–I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man); Karla Bonoff– Somebody's Eyes; Sammy Hagar– The Girl Gets Around; Moving Pictures (2)– Never

A departure from Anderson's previous soundtracks which relied heavily on the work of Mark Mothersbaugh, this album features tracks from prominent Bollywood films as well as some more western hits, including the track that one person in the chat lost their virginity to!
