It's a Fandom Thing's Erin on Trent Reznor's Curation of The Natural Born Killers Soundtrack (1994)
Season 6 · Episode 7
lundi 14 avril 2025 • Duration 01:15:42
Erin Marlow of It's a Fandom Thing joins Nicole and Ryan to talk about the 1994 Oliver Stone film, Natural Born Killers. It began as a Quentin Tarantino script before Oliver Stone turned it into an entirely different thing, which is just one of many controversies that surround this film. What's not controversial is the greatness of the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack. Trent Reznor currated the soundtrack and contributed two Nine Inch Nails to the soundtrack, specifically writing "Burn" for the film. The soundtrack also features songs from Leonard Cohen, Lard, L7, The Cowboy Junkies, Peter Gabriel and more.

Reel Asian Podcast's Raymond Luu on How Kendrick Lamar Throws a Party on the Black Panther (2018) Soundtrack
Season 2 · Episode 9
lundi 8 mars 2021 • Duration 58:09
This week, Raymond Luu of Reel Asian Podcast and Ryan Pak cover the Kendrick Lamar curated soundtrack for the 2018 Ryan Coogler film, Black Panther. We talk about the vibrancy of the soundtrack and how Coogler’s request for a couple of songs evolved into an entire soundtrack and how that soundtrack is such a great companion piece to this Oscar nominated MCU film. We cover some of our favorite songs from the soundtrack such as SOB x RBE's "Paramedic", SZA and Kendrick Lamar's "All the Stars", as well as the Grammy winning song "King's Dead", among many others. We also do a deep dive into the film, highlighting many of the great performances, including the late Chadwick Boseman's King T'Challa and Michael B. Jordan as Eric Killmonger.

Damon Gross on The Donnie Darko (2001) Soundtrack and Discovering Composer Michael Andrews’ Past Life as Elgin Park
Season 2 · Episode 5
lundi 8 février 2021 • Duration 48:24
Damon Gross returns to the podcast to talk about the soundtrack to the 2001 Richard Kelly film, Donnie Darko, which Damon saw in its original theatrical run! We chat about the 80s songs that Kelly and soundtrack composer/supervisor, Michael Andrews chose for the film including “The Killing Moon” by Echo and the Bunnymen. We talk about how Echo and the Bunnymen has influenced bands like Pavement and Hole, and how their earlier material was a far cry from the hits that they would eventually be known for. We chat about the revival of 80s music in films in the 2000s and whether Donnie Darko inadvertently kicked off a new emo fashion trend in the 2000s. We also talk about Michael Andrews’ career before becoming a soundtrack composer, where he performed under the pseudonym, Elgin Park. We also briefly discuss Jake Gylenhaal’s other 2001 starring role, as the title character from box office bomb, Bubble Boy.

MJ from the Menage with the MariJayne Maven Podcast is our guest this week as we talk about the soundtrack to the classic 1993 Richard Linklater film, Dazed and Confused, which launched a bunch of acting careers and is known for having one of the best film soundtracks of all time.
