The Joe Rooz ShowWatchmen in a Complacent Age: Apologetics, Hope, and Holiness with David Libby (Ep. 217)In this Friday night episode of The Joe Rooz Show, I welcome homesteader, theologian, and author David Libby for a deeply encouraging, Scripture-saturated conversation on suffering, God’s sovereignty, apologetics, and authentic Christian living. From his family’s years-long battle with Lyme disease to the theological foundations that sustained him, David shares how head knowledge becomes heart-level faith through trials. We dig into why suffering exists, how God refines believers through hardship, the harmony of divine sovereignty and human responsibility, and what it means to stay watchful and courageous in a complacent church age. We also talk homesteading life in r...

The OST PartyEpisode 98: Fast Times at Ridgemont HighSchool's back in session, and we're back to discuss one of the most iconic high school comedies of the 80s: Fast Times at Ridgemont High!
Fast Times is a year in the life of your typical gang of high school kids: You got the kids just try to make a buck, the ones obsessed with sex, the ones obsessed with finding love... And then, of course, you've got Jeff Spicoli, Sean Penn's totally baked surfer dude.
As their stories weave in and out, the film is threaded throughout by one of the largest soundtracks we've e...

The OST PartyEpisode 97: With HonorsIt's graduation season and that means it's time to reminisce about the time we spent in college. And we do just that on this week's episode! We're discussing the soundtrack to the 1994 college dramedy With Honors. Joe Pesci plays homeless man Simon who befriends college senior Brendan Fraser, who's desperate to finish his senior thesis, and Pesci offers to help him in exchange for room and board.
All the life lessons and general feelgoodery is the perfect canvas for a soundtrack full of early 90s schmaltz and Gen X longing. We get a surprisingly great theme song by...

The OST PartyEpisode 96: RADWe're back! It's been too long since our last episode, but Rad Day is here and we couldn't let it go without celebrating it properly.
What is Rad, you ask? Rad is every 80s sports movie you've ever seen, wrapped up in a package of BMX bikes, cheesy butt rock and more synthesizers than you can jump a bike over. It's ridiculous, it's kinda lame, but's also so completely RAD.
Helltrack is coming to town, and our hero Cru has a chance to prove to the BMX world he's the best racer around. And, in t...

Stacking Adventures: Every Traveler Has a StoryJoe's Visit To Olympic National ParkRemember when Libby Gifford raved about Olympic National Park being her all-time favorite? Well, we took that as a challenge and just wrapped up an epic two-day adventure through its jaw-dropping landscapes. Spoiler alert: Libby was absolutely right. From the snow-capped peaks of Hurricane Ridge to the rugged coastline of Rialto and Ruby Beach, we packed in as much as possible—including hidden gems like Crescent Lake, unforgettable hikes, and some close encounters with wildlife (hello, bald eagles and sea lions!).

But through the progression of his life and his career, he realised that sport was really just the conversation starter. Oh how I loved this chat.

It was the height of the 90s, when 80s pop stars showed up in the most random movies, fledgling rock bands popped up on teen cult classics, and also Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh Eagles teamed up with Lita Ford to do the theme song for a RoboCop TV series. 1995 was definitely a mood...

The OST PartyEpisode 84: Blast from the PastA new year brings a new series here on the OST Party! This week's film, the 1999 sci-fi rom-com Blast from the Past, marks the finale of our neo-swing trilogy, and also the beginning of our series on the films of Brendan Fraser.
Blast from the Past, as Libby's husband Ian pointed out, is like if you crossed Encino Man with The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And the soundtrack reflects that weird clash of tones. You've got the square 60s tunes of Perry Como, the neo-swing revival of The Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Squirrel Nut Zippers, and modern 90s...

Joe and Libby each picked five songs that have stuck with them this year, for one reason or another. Some new favorites, some unkillable earworms, and some songs so deeply weird we’re still amazed they even exist. This episode runs the gamut of everything from the new jack swing of Ghostbusters II to the classic rock of Hot Fuzz, and a whole lot in between...

The OST PartyEpisode 79: O Brother, Where Art Thou?Are you ready to get real old-timey? This week we discuss the folk and bluegrass revival of O Brother, Where Art Thou? Loosely based on "The Odyssey", Joel and Ethan Coen pulled together an all-star lineup of country musicians to score this wacky road trip through Depression-era Mississippi.
The film is a hoot, but the soundtrack was a sensation. The album hit #1 on the charts over a year after its release, and went on to sell 8 million copies. "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow" and "O Death" won all the awards, but the real standouts on t...

The OST PartyEpisode 78: SwingersThis week's podcast is all about Vegas, baby! Well...not exactly. It's all about Swingers, which spends a grand total of 15 minutes in Las Vegas. The rest is all about idealizing modern notions of coolness all set to a soundtrack of swing and lounge revival goodness.
Swingers was one of the pillars of the mid-90s indie film boom, and also a signpost for the toxic masculinity of the era. In between all of that is a soundtrack that Libby calls "wall-to-wall bangers". We get standards from Dean Martin and Tony Bennett, some classic country from Roger M...

This soundtrack features an even split of dad rock (Van Halen, Goo Goo Dolls, Soul Asylum) and mom rock (Tori Amos, Stevie Nicks, Alison Krauss). It all adds up to an album that's more thoughtfully put together than the movie it's supporting. We also dive into a little bit of Joe's past weather-related trauma, information that some of us were not ready for... So strap yourselves in, because this episode will blow you away!

The OST PartyEpisode 69: Wayne’s WorldThis week marks the 30th anniversary of Wayne's World! Not only was this movie spun off from the wildly popular sketches on Saturday Night Live, but Wayne's World was instrumental in reviving Queen's popularity with its iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequence. It hit #1 on the Billboard charts for two straight weeks. It had video games, board games, halloween costumes, and even a roller coaster!
But for as big a deal as Wayne's World was, the soundtrack kinda fumbles the ball. We've got Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", naturally, but aside from the requisite Alice Cooper and Jimi Hendrix tracks, there's v...

The OST PartyEpisode 68: Vision QuestThis week's episode is brought to you by an unquenchable thirst for 80s teen romance of the worst kind. 1985's Vision Quest follows Matthew Modine as a high school senior training for the big wrestling match while also lusting after Linda Fiorentino, the drifter who somehow winds up living in his house. It's an after-school special about eating disorders that thinks it's a profound, Salinger-esque statement on growing up.
But don't let that fool you, because the soundtrack is stacked with hits!
We get radio rock hits from Journey, Foreigner and Sammy Hagar. We get a...

It's an extremely silly film, but the soundtrack is almost wall to wall bangers!
New Jack Swing was on the rise in a big way in 1989, and bolstered by singles from Bobby Brown and Run DMC, this soundtrack was one of the breakout hits of that summer. In addition, we get tracks from New Edition, Doug E. Fresh...

In a film career spanning five decades, Mel Brooks has produced some of the greatest comedies of all time. But not one to simply tell a joke, Brooks goes all out with elaborate musical numbers, Borscht Belt comedy routines, and yes, even the occasional pop theme song.

Libby's husband Ian Austin is here to give us the history of the Heavy Metal comics, while Eeon Smith is on hand to provide commentary on the laserdisc format.

Look, it's literally the first film all over again. That's all you need to know.
But believe it or not, this film has a surprisingly decent soundtrack! We get two standout tracks from Oingo Boingo, a solid mix of 80s synthpop (B.G. Vox), southern...

Loosely adapted from Jane Austen's "Emma", Clueless follows a year in the life of Beverly Hills teen Cher as she plays matchmaker to teacher and student alike (but not, like, at the same time).
And the soundtrack is the rare album that actually helps tell the story. With tracks from 90s mainstays Luscious Jackson, Coolio, Cracker, Smoking Popes and more, the Clueless soundtrack is full of angst, social satire, and just some really solid tunes. Also in this episode, we encounter more 90s g...

If you're not familiar, it's the film that closed out Jim Carrey's run of blockbuster 90s comedies with a resounding thud. Carrey plays Charlie, a mild-mannered cop with a split personality. He also plays Hank, Charlie's deranged alter ego. Renee Zellweger is here as well. The rest really isn't important.
And the soundtrack is equally split down the middle. Half the album's songs are your usual suspects of late-90s radio rock...

It's silly, it's strange, and it's beautiful in its own way. There's truly nothing like it.

French robot dance-pop duo Daft Punk released their album "Discovery" in 2001, and commissioned artist Leiji Matsumoto to create a companion feature film, telling the story of a rock band from outer space, kidnapped and molded into Earth's Next Big Thing. There's some commentary about the music industry and some wacky sci-fi spaceship action, but mostly it's Daft Punk's attempt to create the raddest laser light show imaginable.

The OST PartyEpisode 48: FootlooseHappy New Year, party pals! This week we're spinning the soundtrack to everyone's favorite "Kevin Bacon saves a town's soul through the power of dance" movie: Footloose!
This is one of the quintessential 80s movie soundtracks. Six of this album's seven radio singles wound up hitting the Top 40, two of which landed Academy Award nominations! We've got Kenny Loggins. We've got Bonnie Tyler. We've got Shalamar, Deneice Williams, Mike Reno, Ann Wilson, and so much more! Sammy Hagar even manages to show up for the second episode in a row.
So kick off your Sunday s...

The OST PartyEpisode 47: ScroogedWelcome back, folks! We may have missed Christmas, but as this week's film reminds us, it's never too late. Round up some leftover wassail, put on your new fuzzy slippers, and join us as we break down the soundtrack to Richard Donner's 1988 "Christmas Carol" riff Scrooged!
Bill Murray plays Frank Cross, a jaded TV executive hellbent on producing the most tasteless Dickens adaptation ever seen. But he's soon visited by three spirits... You know how this one goes.
The soundtrack is not your traditional Christmas album. We get Natalie Cole and Miles Davis putting their s...

The OST PartyEpisode 46: Jingle All The WaySeason's Greetings! This week on the podcast we bring you a Christmas movie soundtrack like no other. It's the soundtrack to the 1996 Christmas comedy Jingle All The Way! Arnold Schwarzenegger goes toe to toe with Sinbad in a race to find their kids the last Turboman doll in the city. Along the way we meet black market Santas, Martin Mull in a ponytail, and a reindeer named Ted!
And the soundtrack is an interesting beast, too. Half of it feels like a glimpse into a world where The Brian Setzer Orchestra completely scored the film from start t...
2020-12-101h 30The OST PartyEpisode 45: Give Thanks For TV!Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! This week we're giving thanks for all the TV that's kept us company over the years. We've got ten great theme songs to discuss tonight, covering everything from old-school Nickelodeon favorites to cult cartoon rockers to the only acceptable use of acapella. There are some real obscure gems in tonight's show, and also one or two that we know you all know by heart.
Who doesn't love to sing along to their favorite theme song? Nobody, that's who! So polish off the last of that turkey and join us on the couch as we...

The OST PartyEpisode 44: HobgoblinsHappy Halloween, everybody! It's time to party down with another one of Libby's favorite wackadoo cult classics. It's Hobgoblins! It's a film that looks an awful lot like Gremlins or Critters, but has its own set of tricks up its sleeve. Famously one of the worst films ever covered on "Mystery Science Theater 3000", Hobgoblins features a soundtrack by post-punk band The Fontanelles. The band also appears in the film, playing the song "Kiss Kicker 99" to a room of roughly six people.
In this episode we break down the Fontanelles' soundtrack, talk about some of our favorite MST3K b...

The OST PartyEpisode 43: The Karate KidSeems like everyone is raving about the Cobra Kai series right now, so what better time to jump waaay back to 1984 and discuss the original? It's The Karate Kid this week on The OST Party! This one is a personal favorite of Joe's, and we get into a lot of why this film still works so well some 36 years later.
And as popular as the film is, you'd think the soundtrack would be wall to wall bangers, right? Well, aside from Joe Esposito's "You're The Best", this soundtrack is surprisingly...dull. You probably know "You're The Best"...

The OST PartyEpisode 42: Down With LoveIt's time to go back to the 60s, when men were men, women were women, and sex was only referenced with vague hand gestures and sideways glances. This week we dive into the soundtrack to 2003's Down With Love.
Renée Zellweger is a self help guru whose book is liberating women's sex drives the world over. Ewan McGregor is the dashing reporter hellbent on exposing her as a massive phony. Together, they fight crime! Wait, no... They fall in love. Or maybe not. Who's to say? At any rate, the soundtrack features standards from Frank Sinatra a...

The OST PartyEpisode 41: Bill & Ted's Bogus JourneyWith the release of Bill & Ted Face The Music, we return to bring you more musical madness courtesy of Wyld Stallyns and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. It's a film near and dear to Joe's strange, twisted heart!
Bogus Journey is a snapshot of the moment when hair metal acts like Winger and Neverland began to fall out of favor as alt-rock acts like Primus and Faith No More began to hit the mainstream. Landing just before Nirvana's "Nevermind," it was a musical changing of the guard, and the blending of the two works well for the film's d...

Specifically, we're discussing Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que and Space Ghost's Surf & Turf, the two soundtrack albums from Cartoon Network's Cartoon Planet.
For the unfamiliar, Cartoon Planet was the sister show to Space Ghost Coast to Coast, in which Space Ghost and his pals Brak and Zorak sing silly songs, perform comedy skits and just generally be goofballs. If you were young in the mid-to-late 90s, you probably stumbled across this show late at night and wondered what the hell you were...

The OST PartyEpisode 39: Dick TracyCalling all listeners! This week on the podcast, we're discussing the soundtrack to 1990's Dick Tracy! This was Disney's attempt to cash in on the sudden phenomenon that was Tim Burton's Batman. To do that, they hired Warren Beatty, Madonna and Al Pacino to bring the 1930s crimestopper comic to life. The result is...bizarre, to say the least.
But like Batman, Dick Tracy was a marketing bonanza. There were toys, comics, video games, and THREE soundtrack albums! Not only did we get an entire album of new material from Madonna and Stephen Sondheim, we also got...

The OST PartyEpisode 38: The Lost BoysIn honor of the late, great Joel Schumacher, this week we're headed back to the 80s to discuss Schumacher's teen goth vampire classic The Lost Boys!
Kiefer Sutherland and his gang of bleach blonde vampires seduce moody teen Jason Patric to their flock, while the latter's younger brother Corey Haim teams up with vampire hunter Corey Feldman to destroy them.
It's all very silly, and the soundtrack is no different. This one introduces some future goth staples, and also brings us Echo and the Bunnymen covering The Doors, as well as Roger Daltrey...

The OST PartyEpisode 37: FlashdanceIt's one of the biggest movie soundtracks of all time. It's the quintessential movie of the MTV generation. It's one of the most parodied dance sequences ever made. It's every 80s style and fad boiled down into one smoking hot package. It's FLASHDANCE!
Join us this week as we discuss the soundtrack, an album featuring tons of 80s synthpop, a song that sounds copyright infringingly close to "Call Me" by Blondie, and a song that may or may not have been originally written about a serial killer. We've got Irene Cara, Donna Summer, Joe Esposito, Giorgio Moroder, u...

Now seems like the perfect time to dive into Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! These two may not be the sharpest knives in the drawer, but their dedication to being excellent to each other and partying on is something we can all aspire to right now.
As for the soundtrack, well, if you ever wondered why grunge killed off hair metal so quickly, you need look no further than this album. It's wall to wall hair m...

The OST PartyEpisode 35: Homestar RunnerThis week we're taking a break from movies to discuss a cartoon series near and dear to our hearts. This week's episode is dedicated to the internet's own HOMESTAR RUNNER!
Created by Matt and Mike Chapman, Homestar Runner has been delighting viewers for twenty years and counting. If you went to college in the early 2000s, there's a good chance you're familiar with at least a couple of these tunes. We've chosen ten songs that highlight what the series does so well, from Weird Al-esque genre pastiches to catchy pop jingles to homespun techno beats. These guys...

The OST PartyEpisode 34: Jay and Silent Bob Strike BackWe return to the world of Kevin Smith this week with the soundtrack to 2001's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! In Jay and Silent Bob's "final" adventure, Smith called in all his favors and created a madcap Hollywood sendup featuring dozens of celebrity cameos, movie parodies and insults hurled directly at the audience.
This movie came out right before 9/11, and boy can you feel it. The soundtrack features 90s holdovers like Marcy Playground and Stroke 9, 80s hits from Bon Jovi, Run DMC and Morris Day & The Time, and some more modern songs that, quite frankly, have a...
2020-05-071h 32
The OST PartyEpisode 33: There's Something About MaryThis week we return to our series on the Farrelly Bros with the soundtrack to their 1998 smash hit There's Something About Mary! It's a big, bawdy grossout comedy masquerading as a rom-com, with lots of outdated gags and a mean streak a mile wide. It's also still holds up surprisingly well, with a soundtrack to match.
On this episode we get into artists such as Joe Jackson, The Push Stars, The Lemonheads, Ivy, The Dandy Warhols, and more! And yes, we discuss that song. You know the one. You're humming it right now. Don't even try to hi...

The OST PartyEpisode 32: Romy & Michele's High School ReunionTis the season for proms and high school reunions, so what better time to revisit the 1997 yearbook flashback Romy & Michele's High School Reunion? Just like The Wedding Singer, this album is loaded up with more 80s pop staples than we can count. (Well, there's only eleven songs on the album, but you know what I mean.) We've got Tears for Fears, The Vapors, Culture Club, and three—count 'em!—three appearances from The Go-Gos and Belinda Carlisle. And this isn't even the only soundtrack that came from this film!

The OST PartyEpisode 31: Mortal KombatThis week, Joe has been left to his own devices, so he wrangled his Christmas Creeps co-host Johnny-5 to discuss the biggest video-game-movie soundtrack they could find: MORTAL KOMBAT!
This album landed square in the middle of the 90s, where new age, techno and heavy metal were all having kind of a moment. The album goes about half-and-half on the techno and metal, featuring such artists as KMFDM, Orbital, Gravity Kills, Geezer Butler and more!
SHOW NOTES:
Mortal Kombat is available to watch here

The 90s were a big decade for people deciding it would be fun to take classic songs, record their own versions, and slap them on movies that absolutely did not need them. Sometimes they're fantastic! But then sometimes they're absolutely the worst.
Our list this week brings you everything from White Zombie covering KC and the Sunshine Band to one of the most beautiful Beatles covers ever recorded, and there's a whooole lot going on in between! So...

The OST PartyEpisode 29: Nine 1/2 WeeksValentine's Day is upon us, so let's take a dip into the psychosexual waters of the mid-80s with the 1986 sex romp Nine 1/2 Weeks. Kim Basinger plays the somewhat naïve, somewhat frigid art exhibitor Elizabeth, and Bruce Willis Mickey Rourke plays John, a Wall Street suit with some very particular kinks. Over the course of nine and a half weeks, the two share a love affair full of blindfolds, back alley dalliances and lots and lots of foodplay.
As for the soundtrack? We have singles from Corey Hart and Duran Duran bassist John Taylor, Eurythmics doing wh...

The OST PartyEpisode 28: Dumb and DumberSaddle up, partners! This week we're piling into the old sheepdog-mobile as we discuss the soundtrack to Dumb and Dumber! 1994 was Jim Carrey's breakout year, and this film solidified him as a comedy force to be reckoned with. It's also wildly problematic and many of the jokes have not aged well. C'est la vie.
However... The soundtrack to Dumb and Dumber is secretly brilliant! It features an all-time classic cover from Crash Test Dummies, as well as some true jangle-pop bangers from Pete Droge, The Sons and The Gigolo Aunts. We've also got Echobelly, The Proclaimers, and wh...

The OST PartyEpisode 27: UHFHappy New Year, party pals! This week, Discord & Rhyme co-host and Weird Al Superfan Rich Bunnell joins us to discuss the soundtrack to Weird Al Yankovic's UHF!
Released in the summer of 1989, UHF got lost in the shuffle of one of the biggest blockbuster seasons ever. The film may have been overshadowed by the likes of Batman and Indiana Jones, but time has been kind to UHF. Many today consider it a cult classic, and also one of the stranger albums in Weird Al's catalog.
In addition to the songs from the film, we also hav...

Or depending on your mood, a sequel to a 90s Christmas classic. We're talking about HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK! Kevin McCallister finds his way to the Big Apple, which means lots of tourism montages, snow-covered cityscapes and wacky hijinks involving one of the most famous hotels in the world.
The soundtrack features the usual suspects of Christmas tunes, as well as tracks from Darlene Love, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and TLC. Yes, you read that ri...

That's right, this episode is dedicated to rock songs from some of your actors! Y'know, provided your favorite actors are Bruce Willis, Kevin Bacon and...*checks notes* Stephen King? He acts sometimes, right?

The soundtrack features several tracks from the Jeff Healey Band, who appear in the film as the Double Deuce's house band. We've also got cuts from Bob Seger, Otis Redding, and the man himself: Patrick Swayze.
So buckle up and watch out for falling polar bears as we take a trip to the l...

The OST PartyEpisode 23: The Color of MoneyMartin Scorsese recently called comic book movies "theme park rides" and the internet had a collective meltdown over it. Coupled with the release of his latest film, The Irishman, now seems like a pretty good time to discuss a Scorsese film! Join us this week as we dig into 1986's THE COLOR OF MONEY!
The Color of Money follows retired pool hustler Fast Eddie (Paul Newman) taking a young hotshot named Vince (Tom Cruise) under his wing. With Vince's girlfriend Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) in tow, they hit the road for a 9-ball tournament in Atlantic City.

The OST PartyEpisode 22: Forbidden ZoneHappy Halloween, party people!
Join us on a strange and spooky journey to the Sixth Dimension as we discuss the soundtrack to FORBIDDEN ZONE!
In the early 80s, Richard and Danny Elfman were straining to break free of the musical theatre circuit. Richard devised Forbidden Zone as a showcase for Danny's band, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, as well as a means of breaking into the film industry. The result is a wild pastiche of Vaudeville, stagecraft, animation and big band music produced completely outside the realms of studio filmmaking and any semblance of...

The OST PartyEpisode 21: Shaun of the DeadIt's time to get spoooooky! Join us this week as we slide into the Halloween spirit with the soundtrack to SHAUN OF THE DEAD! Not only is Edgar Wright's 2004 debut one of the greatest horror comedies of all time, the soundtrack is a rip-roaring ride through 80s power pop classics, hip-hop and electro beats, a couple of Queen songs, and all points in between.
Wright is one of the last filmmakers standing who truly cares about curating a quality pop soundtrack, so this is definitely not the last we'll hear of him on this podcast. In this...

But here we are, and as we like to do on the 5's, this week we're counting down some 80s soundtrack cuts. Songs that maybe don't have the full support of a soundtrack album, or might get lost in the shuffle of an artist's other work. You might not think of some of these as misfits, but when else would we ever get to talk about them? Now, that's when!
This episode also draws a pretty clear line between Libby's taste in music versus Joe's. One is smooth...

The OST PartyEpisode 19: The MaskIt's party time! P-A-R-T...Why? Because this week we're jumping in with both feet to discuss 1994's The Mask! This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of Jim Carrey's breakout roles, and we're here to talk all about it. The movie's soundtrack sits at an odd moment in 90s music, a crossroads between new jack swing and the neo-swing revival. As a flashpoint for the swing revival, The Mask is more of a false start. Still, that didn't stop the movie from becoming a box office smash and sending Carrey's career into the stratosphere.

The OST PartyEpisode 18: Streets of FireOn this episode, we're digging into Walter Hill's 1984 rock n' roll fable STREETS OF FIRE! It's a musical with numbers that can level entire city blocks. It's an aggressively '80s take on motorcycle gangs of the '50s. It's a wannabe western starring a stoic hero with a duster and a Winchester. It's all of these things and so much more.
Michael Paré is Tom Cody, a drifter hired to rescue his ex-girlfriend, rock singer Ellen Aim (Diane Lane) from the clutches of Willem Dafoe's Raven and his Bomber gang. The soundtrack features cuts from The Fi...

It's a film that pushes viewers to the breakpoint and offers so much off-the-wall creativity, it's almost unreal.
Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, an Englishman and a Colombian, play Italian brothers chasing a kidnapped princess into a dimension where an industrialist dinosaur-man played by Dennis Hopper rules his city with an iron fist. All of this is somehow based on a video game.

Two ex-presidents (Jack Lemmon and James Garner) go on the lam after a government cover-up leads to their attempted assassination, and the only way to save their skins is by taking a road trip to Ohio! That's right, it's another one of those movies.

Or rather, like Beavis and Butthead, because on this week's episode we're discussing Beavis and Butt-Head Do America! If you had told us twenty years ago that THIS would be one of the 90s' most enduring comedies, we might have laughed in your face. Or we might have said, "Yes! That rules!" Because, honestly? This movie still rules. It's held up far better than one would expect.
And the soundtrack is peak 1996. We've got the tail end of 70s nostalgia with Isaac Hayes riffing on his famous S...

On this episode of the O/S/T Party, we aren't just covering the soundtrack to Adam Sandler's 1998 rom-com The Wedding Singer. This week we're discussing EVERY SONG IN THE FILM! When your film revolves around a down-on-his-luck wedding singer warbling out 80s jukebox hits and screaming at newlyweds, as well as tons of homages to the heyday of MTV, how could we not?

You would be hard pressed to find a movie soundtrack more 1998 than Godzilla: The Album. Featuring the likes of The Wallflowers, Jamiroquai, and Ben Folds Five, the soundtrack to Roland Emmerich's epic disaster is chock full of radio-friendly 90s rock, and also the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy shouting over a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir".
And then there's the movie, which is everything wrong with blockbuster filmmaking distilled into two hours of...

The OST PartyEpisode 11: Earth Girls Are EasyThis week we invite you to sit back, relax and have a mental margarita as we discuss the soundtrack to 1989's Earth Girls Are Easy. This movie is a lot of things all at once. It's a bouncy 80s sex comedy; it's a parody of MTV-obsessed LA youth; it's a sci-fi film with a wacko retro-future aesthetic. It's also a showcase for Julie Brown's brand of humor and music, and man do we get a lot of that!
We've also got the B-52s! And Nile Rodgers! And Hall & Oates covering The O'Jays! This soundtrack is all o...

For as many cliches and signatures as the James Bond series has invented and perfected over the years, one that everyone can get behind is its classic theme songs. Sometimes brassy and orchestral, other times painfully pop-oriented, there really is a James Bond theme for every taste. We're covering everything from Dr. No to Spectre and all points in between.
With over 50 years of history and 20+ songs to choose from, crafting this list was no easy task. But not only are we co...

This week, we are joined by Niel Jacoby, cohost of the podcast Spall Talk, to discuss the soundtrack to Alex Cox's 1984 punk rock sci-fi opus REPO MAN!
Repo Man is a deeply strange film about punks repossessing cars, government conspiracies, alien life forms, and the soul-crushing nihilism of Reagan-era Los Angeles. On top of that, it's a film that wears its punk rock influence on its sleeve. With a theme song by Iggy Pop, and featuring 80s punk mainstays like Black Flag, Fear, and S...

This soundtrack is full of hard-rockin', synth-wavin', oldie-croonin' radio cheese, so it's no wonder people bought it nine million times. Half the soundtrack barely even registers on this episode, because we're trapped in the thrall of Kenny Loggins, Giorgio Moroder, and Val Kilmer's perfectly chiseled everything.
Also we dig deep into the film's thinly-veiled subtext, and try to figure out why people still hold Maverick's exploits in such high regard. Come join us and le...

Our hosts agree that this is one of the great comedies of our time, and the soundtrack is secretly just as good.

This soundtrack was one of the surprise hits of the mid-90s, mostly remembered now for Nine Inch Nails covering Joy Division, a pretty decent soundtrack cut from The Cure, and another appearance from our pals My Life with the Th...
