The podcast inspired by the songs inspired by the motion pictures!
Join us as we explore the best and worst songs that originally appear in movies, from beloved classics such as “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” from Armageddon, to new hits like “All The Stars” from Black Panther — and even obscure head-scratchers like “Addams Family Groove” by MC Hammer from The Addams Family.
Each episode, we deep dive into an iconic song from a movie, revisit its film, and discuss its impact.
Movie songs are a collision of visual and audio media, resulting in prime moments of pop culture. Whether it’s for artistic merit or shameless promotion, we want to cover them all!

Customer Reviews
New favorite
It’s got music and movies and music about movies. What’s not to like?? Hosts are excellent and they CLEARLY do their homework. Unmissable episodes every week.
UN…BEARABLE!
Absolutely, positively unbearable! The CIA could have used this pre-Obama when we used to torture people.
Just pure joy
If you’re a nostalgic movie lover, this pod is for you! Sophie and Paolo do an incredible job of finding and analyzing movie songs that really stuck out and stayed with us since. (I *completely* forgot about the strange Pillsbury commercial in “The Swan Princess” or Alanis’s “Uninvited” and they brought me right back!)
