That Thing You Do Soundtrack

Épisode 17

mardi 14 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:26:51

The McGuigan Brothers rewind to 1996 and the Playtone Galaxy where a fake band called The Wonders somehow scored a real hit! We dig into how Tom Hanks wrote, directed, and accidentally created one of the most convincing pop worlds ever to be put on film, complete with surf rock, girl groups, and a perfect two-minute-fifty-two second single.

It’s the story of how “That Thing You Do!” went from a movie prop to an Oscar-nominated song that still makes you clap on two and four.

La Bamba

Épisode 16

mardi 7 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:32:10

Ritchie Valens was only 17 when he rewrote rock and roll with a B-side that outlived him and in 1987, La Bamba brought that story roaring back. In this episode, the McGuigan Brothers trace how Lou Diamond Phillips turned a random audition into a career-defining role, how Los Lobos’ version hit #1 worldwide, and how a teen from Pacoima became a forever icon. From studio snapshots to “Producer Kate’s Rate”, “Most Beatley Moment”, and “Ryan’s A&R Guy”, it’s a soundtrack deep-dive that keeps the spirit of Ritchie alive and just maybe, changed our lives along the way.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack

Épisode 15

mardi 30 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:23:35

The McGuigan Brothers go full midnight movie for The Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack. From flop to cult classic, this album has been fueling rice fights, newspaper rustles, and “Time Warp” dance lines for nearly fifty years. Billy, Matthew and Ryan break down how Richard O’Brien’s stage show became a film, how Tim Curry stole it in heels, and why Meat LOaf’s one song still rocks harder than most entire albums. Expect camp, chaos, and a lot of audience shout-backs as we dive into Absolute Treasures - the 21-track version that finally gave fans the whole soundtrack.

Venus and Mars

Épisode 14

mardi 23 septembre 2025 • Durée

Paul McCartney had already pulled off the impossible with Band on the Run but in 1975, he set out to prove Wings were more than a fluke. Venus and Mars was the arena-sized sequel: recorded in New Orleans and LA, packed with comic book villains, New Orleans horns, and a No. 1 single that still floats on the radio today.

This week, the brothers drop the needle on Venus and Mars, a record that tried to balance McCartney’s playful pastiches and stadium-rock ambitions. From the handbells and harp of Love in Song to Jimmy McCulloch’s anti-drug anthem Medicine Jar, we go track by track through an album that’s equal parts weird, whimsical, and Wings at full flight.

Along the way: Allen Toussaint’s fingerprints on the sessions, the sax player who links Listen to What the Man Said with Billie Jean. Plus, our full Category Round - best groove, most Beatley moment, least likely to be covered and Kate’s Rate on how it holds up fifty years later.

Physical Graffiti

Épisode 13

mercredi 17 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:41:46

Physical Graffiti is Zeppelin unleashed. Fifteen tracks, four sides, no rules. From the sleaze of “Trampled Under Foot” to the desert sprawl of “Kashmir”, from their shortest son ever "(“Bron-Yr-Aur”) to their longest (“In My Time of Dying”), it’s the full Zeppelin spectrum.

Along the way: Bonham’s cough left in the mix, a jam with the Stones’ Ian Stewart (“Boogie With Stu”), a royalty check mailed to Ritchie Valens’ mom, and even a passing airplane on “Black Country Woman.” It’s raw, indulgent, and bigger than any band had dared.

And on our podcast, we’ve got it all: Best Track, MVP, Kate’s Rate, Matthew’s Headphone Moment, Ryan’s A&R Guy take and the full McGuigan debate over which side of Physical Graffiti really wins.

Born to Run

Épisode 12

mardi 9 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:33:58

Bruce had two albums and no hits. One more shot before the label dropped him. The result? Born to Run. This week, we dive into the album that turned Springsteen from Jersey bar-band poet to full-blown legend. Eight songs. One shot at greatness. And a sound so big it nearly broke the tape machines.

We break down every track, from the cinematic opener “Thunder Road” to the street-opera chaos of “Jungleland”. Plus Matthew’s Headphones Moment, Ryan’s “He’s Not Wrong” take, Kate’s rating and why Born to Run still feels like freedom, 50 years later.

Subscribe, rate and join us as we kick off our Albums Turing 50 month with the one that made Bruce The Boss.

A Night at the Opera

Épisode 11

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:46:02

A Night at the Opera Queen goes full theater kid, with guitars.

Kicking off our albums that turn 50 this month, the McGuigan Brothers take on A Night at the Opera, the genre-hopping, harmony-stacking, no-skip classic that made Queen immortal. We go track by track, debate the best groove, wildest production moment, and ask the big questions: Is “Bohemian Rhapsody” still untouchable? And what’s the most 1975 thing about this album?

Categories, hot takes, headphone moments and Kate’s final score.

Three brothers. One album. No rules.

Rubber Soul

Épisode 10

mardi 26 août 2025 • Durée 01:45:45

The Beatles grow up, plug into a sitar, and start writing for themselves.

In this episode, the McGuigan Brothers dive into Rubber Soul, the moment everything changes. It’s out with the covers and in with confessionals, fuzz bass, and French ballads. Track by track, we unpack Dylan’s influence, the invention of album cohesion, and the sharp left turn that set the stage for Revolver and Sgt. Pepper.

We also talk about the In My Life piano solo, the Help! leftover that still made the cut, and whether George’s songs get enough love. Plus: Matthew’s Headphones Moment, Ryan’s boldest take yet, and Producer Kate’s no-nostalgic rating.

The Stranger

Épisode 9

mardi 19 août 2025 • Durée 01:37:38

Billy Joel’s The Stranger turned a working-class piano man into a worldwide superstar. In this episode, the McGuigan Brothers break down the 1977 classic track by track, from the satire of “Movin’ Out” to the suite-like brilliance of “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” and the timeless ballads “Just the Way You Are” and “She’s Always a Woman.” We talk Phil Ramone’s production magic, the trust between Joel and his band, and why this album made him one of the biggest artists on the planet. Plus: best concert we’ve ever seen, Matthew’s studio deep dive, Ryan’s chart rundown, and the categories you’ve come to expect.

Aja

Épisode 8

lundi 11 août 2025 • Durée 01:29:25

Seven tracks. No filler. The cleanest, smoothest, most obsessively crafted album of the ‘70s.

This week, the McGuigan Brothers drop the needle on Aja, the record that turned Steely Dan from a band into a studio machine. We’re talking Michael McDonald harmonies, Wayne Shorter solos, the Purdy Shuffle, Steve Gadd’s legendary drum break, and lyrics that read like noir poetry.

From Chevy Chase on drums in college, to ditching the tour bus forever, to making an album that still gets name-checked in every audiophile forum on the internet. We go track by track, category by category.

Plus: The Odyssey connection, Bernard Purdie’s Beatles claim, and why Aja might be the ultimate “someone had to show it to you” record.
