It's our 3rd installment in killer children's movie soundtracks and of course we have back our soundtrack aficionados, Griffin and Alex Woodchicken to break down another time capsule of a soundtrack, designed perfectly for a child growing up in the 90s. That's right, it's possibly the greatest(?) children's soundtrack ever conceived by corporate America: the Digimon: the Movie soundtrack. Where the Transformers: the Movie soundtrack captured the essence of 80s power/hair metal and the Jetsons: the Movie soundtrack captured 80s electronic/pop, the Digimon: the Movie soundtrack captured a real amalgamation of popular 90s genres, from rap to surf rock to ska to rap/pop/rock(?), all interlaced with sick scratches on the turntables. It somehow has everything that the 90s was at the turn of the millennium without anything feeling out of place. It's like the Reese's of children's soundtracks. Just to name a few flavors, we have Barenaked Ladies, Smashmouth, and Fatboy Slim (and a truly epic “Digi-Rap”) on the front half of the album, and then Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Less Than Jake on the back half. Not to mention the 90s reimagining of 80s pop hit “Kids In America” that was hastily made to market directly to a young American audience (thematically having little to nothing to do with the movie, but can't lie, song was dope). Get ready to hear us at our absolute nerdiest, as Brad, Jon, Jake, Griff, and Alex discuss Digimon in more depth than anyone asked.
