    Clerks (1994) w/ Sean Faust

    Clerks (1994) w/ Sean Faust

    Musician and cat lover, Sean Faust, joins Ryan to discuss the soundtrack to Kevin Smith's directorial debut, Clerks. Being a New Jersey native, Sean has a deeper connection to the film than the average movie fan. He has also performed on a Christmas album with Brian O'Halloran and Scott Schiaffo's Wandering Wannabes. Ryan and Sean talk about how this small budget indie-film launched Kevin Smith's career and birthed the View Askewniverse, as well as 2 sequels and an animated series for Clerks.
    Sean will be taking the sales of his single "Gin Asylum" to help pay off medical bills for cat owners in need. You can find "Gin Asylum" on all your music purchasing platforms and at this website:

    The OC Mixes 1-6 (2003-2007) w/ Tara Giancaspro

    The OC Mixes 1-6 (2003-2007) w/ Tara Giancaspro

    Pop culture writer and songwriter, Tara Giancaspro, returns to the podcast to talk to Nicole and Ryan about Josh Schwartz's television series, The OC, which ran 4 seasons between 2003-2007 and launched the career of Schwartz (Chuck, Gossip Girl, Marvel's Runaways) and the many bands that were featured on the show. From Phantom Planet's iconic theme song, "California", to Seth Cohen's favorite band, Death Cab for Cutie, we try to cover as much of the music as possible, including the bands that played The Bait Shop.
    Since The OC was so music heavy, we also discuss the show's soundtrack supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas, who it turns out, has been pretty busy the last 25 years or so. She's also responsible for the music in shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Mad Men, and Riverdale while also supervising for the Twilight and Hunger Games franchises.

    Reality Bites (1994) w/ Courtney E Smith (Songs My Ex Ruined, Eater Dallas)

    Reality Bites (1994) w/ Courtney E Smith (Songs My Ex Ruined, Eater Dallas)

    Courtney E Smith, host of the Songs My Ex Ruined Podcast, and writer for Eater Dallas, joins Nicole and Ryan to talk about the soundtrack to Ben Stiller's 1994 film, Reality Bites. The film is still thought of fondly by many because of how it captures the spirit of the 90s. The soundtrack was also successful and it even had a Billboard Top 100 #1 single with Lisa Loeb's "Stay", the first #1 single from an unsigned artist.
    We Discuss:
    The Story of "Stay" and how Reality Bites star Ethan Hawke helped get it on the soundtrackHow the soundtrack is a weird mix of 70s/80s and not very mainstream 90s songsHow the plot of the movie is very tied to 90s "sellout" cultureHow the stand in for MTV (In Your Face) was pretty accurate...
