I just want to make this very clear up front, this is not a cheat episode. There is an actual soundtrack for this movie, and it's supposed to be Josh's mixtape he's listening to on his headphones. I've always been fascinated by this one, and I'm excited to get to it. With that out of the way... Hey everyone! It's my favorite time of the year, Halloween! And it's time for a new slate of horror films for the show. Up first is one of my all-time favorite horror movies, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. And joining me is fellow Spooky Season lover, author and friend of the show Robert P. Ottone, who also counts this as one of his all-time favorite horror movies. In this episode we talk about the making-of (quite extensively), whether Heather is worthy of all of the blame, our first experiences watching this in the theater, found footage in general, and more. So give it a listen, or I'll make you stand in the corner.

Today I'm joined by long-time friend, former Jeopardy contestant, and veterinarian Mark Primiano (@doctor1hundred.bsky.social) to talk about THE WARRIORS, one of the all-time cool movies.  CAN YOU DIG IT?

Did you know COBRA had a soundtrack? Well, neither did I, but thankfully it did, because it was a perfect excuse to get fan-favorites L Ron Mexico and Plexico Gingrich on again. Oh, and did you know L Ron has a new podcast called No Homework? You should, because he's a cohost with recent guests Patrick Cosmos and Charles Star.  This was, as always, a blast to talk about with these guys.

Once again I'm joined by David Roth and Charles Star, and this time we're tackling some Michael Mann, with his divisive 2006 movie MIAMI VICE. In this episode, which is almost as long as the movie, we talk about the movie, the soundtrack, and whatever else we wanted to talk about. It's a chaotic episode and I wouldn't have it any other way. You can't fight gravity, just like you can't fight listening to this episode.

(insert one of 200 quotes from SUPER TROOPERS here), and with SUPER TROOPERS 3 releasing in theaters today, we're gonna talk about the original on Soundtracker. Joining me is Miles Klee (@milesklee.bsky.social), whose work you've seen with Wired, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Slate and many others. He also recently wrote a book called Double Black Diamond with his partner Mads Gobbo, which I've handily linked for you down below.  In this episode we talk about how refreshing it is to revisit a comedy from the Y2K era and not have to grit your teeth and power through a single outdated joke, the likeability of Broken Lizard in general, how funny it is to see Brian Cox in this role in 2026, our memories of our first time seeing the movie, the era of having 20 movies on DVD as your only source of home entertainment, and more. Meow, get yourself a liter of cola, go give it a listen and don't make me beg, because desperation is a stinky cologne. Also look out for a cameo by a bonus special guest in the episode!

Note to self: Today on Soundtracker, we're talking about Dirty Work. And I'm joined by musician, one of the hosts of the No Homework Podcast, and inventer of the Everyone is Twelve theory, Patrick Cosmos (@veryimportant.lawyer on Bluesky).  In this episode we talk about how this is the one movie that truly understood how to use Norm Macdonald, Don Rickles, Chris Farley's disgusting prosthetic nose, and a lot more. So why don't you get a horse and live in the mountains someplace and don't bother anybody? Or just listen to this episode. Whichever.

SOMEBODY once told me Soundtracker was back, and today it's talking about Shrek, the (apparently) very divisive 2001 animated film about an ogre and his donkey friend. And I'm joined once again by Francis Horton (@whatahellofawaytodad.com on Bluesky and @armystrang on Twitter ) to talk about it. In this episode we talk about the innocence of a pre-9/11 world, a pre Mike Myers burnout world, and a world where Smash Mouth was king. I also make a bold proclamation about All Star. Check it you, you stupid dunkey!

Hi, I'm Eric Peacock, welcome to Soundtracker...where today I'm joined once again by AK Lingus (@aklingus.bsky.social) to talk about what Jackass says about modern male trauma. Just kidding, we're mostly talking about how funny it is seeing guys get hit in the nuts for 90 minutes. It's what they would have wanted as they prepare to ride off into the sunset with the final movie, which also releases today. We do delve into some of what shifted in the general consensus from when Jackass first began (hand-wringing over how it was corrupting the youth) to where it is today (a beloved institution that is much smarter than it should be), but mostly we just talk about how funny it is when Johnny Knoxville says things like "I have bursitis". So put on your thong, break out the Party Boy theme, and let's go, because I kinda feel like partying right now.  Pick up AK's book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFVM23H2?dplnkId=b336d00a-e9a3-418f-b17e-94ed7ac6d7e1 Follow him on Letterboxd here: https://boxd.it/1s35J Support the show on Patreon!

We're back, baby! Will Menaker is joining the show once again, this time to talk about Tony Scott's 1990 film DAYS OF THUNDER. In this episode we talk the incredible character names (Cole Trickle! Buck Bretherton! Harry Hogg!), the coke-filled making-of, and more. Check out Chapo Trap House here: https://www.chapotraphouse.com/ Support the show on Patreon!

I'm closing out Halloween with THE FACULTY, which has thankfully grown a big following in the years since it released. And joining me is Brandon Sutton (@prettybadlefty on both Twitter and Blue Sky) who has some really great reads on the themes of the movie. We also talk about Josh Hartnett's haircut, the cast, the soundtrack, and a whole lot of other things. So do some drugs from a Bic pen and give it a listen.

Well I've had some scheduling conflicts the last few weeks but everything's back on track, however in the meantime I'm unlocking a bonus episode. It fits the season and it was just sitting right there. I'm joined once again by author Chris Stedman (@ChrisDStedman), host of the Unread podcast, and Vulture's Craig Jenkins (@CraigSJ) to talk about the very 2001 QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. Check out Unread here:  https://chrisstedmanwriter.com/unread/ Some of Craig's stuff can be found here, but I suggest looking into anything he's written:  https://www.vulture.com/2018/09/mac-miller-profile.html https://www.vulture.com/article/ka-rapper-remebrance-1972-2024.html https://www.vulture.com/author/craig-jenkins/ Support the show on Patreon!

Look, you all know why you're here. You wanna hear us talk about Ninja Rap. Well, you're in luck, because I'm joined once again by Henry Gilbert (@hEnereyG on Twitter and @henereyg.bsky.social on BlueSky) of the Talking Simpsons podcast, and we definitely talk about that song--as well as a whole lot of other stuff--while we dig into TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE.

Well, I'm still here! And today I'm joined by Alex Goldman (@AGoldmund) and Juniper (@CantEverDie) of Western Kabuki (@WesternKabuki)--which began its life as a Nicolas Cage podcast--to talk about GONE IN 60 SECONDS, which I hadn't seen since it first came out, and actually hated back then. Do I like it now? You'll have to listen to find out! (Yes, I do).  In this episode we talk about what an incredible name Memphis Raines is, the incredible cast, the great car stunts, the one piss poor CGI stunt, Angelina Jolie's extremely Y2K hairstyle, Delroy Lindo, and the shockingly good soundtrack. So check it out, and remember: it never Raines, it pours. Check out Western Kabuki here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/western-kabuki/id1647062210 Alex has a new show launching next week!

If you don't follow me on Twitter, or you just missed it, I'm in the midst of a completely frivolous trademark dispute with some guy who records the sounds of crickets in the snow. I'll explain better in the episode. Hopefully I'm still here next week, and I can finally post the GONE IN 60 SECONDS episode, which was supposed to come out today.
