Search Ringer Movies on YouTube and Experience the Joy, Chris Ryan impersonating Wayne Jenkins on camera. Hello, friends. A quick note to say that 60 songs will be taking a modest hiatus. We figure that 15 episodes at a time is enough of me for anyone for a while. Nothing crazy, just a couple months or so. We will be back in the spring and we will keep you updated. We'll let you know what's up on blue sky and Instagram and more grudgingly and hopefully less off in Twitter. We will miss you terribly and we will see you soon, I promise. Here now in the meantime is the latest and greatest 60 songs, Bansplaine Summit, recorded live at the Lodgeroom in Los Angeles, just last week on Wednesday, January 29th.

It is a live draft of movie soundtracks featuring myself, Yassie Salick of Bansplaine, and our friends Chris Ryan and Sean Fennessey as well. Going into this out, super nervous about getting my top pick soundtrack-wise, but I did. please enjoy and please if you are able we have partnered with the organization music cares who have pledged one million dollars in aid to local musicians and all those impacted by the devastating wildfires in and around los angeles if you are able to donate or volunteer we would be eternally grateful check them out at music cares dot org just one c music cares dot org and we'll put that link in the show notes as well thank you so much enjoy and talk soon. Okay. You can't turn your mic on. You were too stressed out by the Nickelback song. It's such a good song though.

That song fucking slaps. Does it not you guys? That's right. Hello. Hi. Hello. Thank you for coming, Yasi. For no reason in particular, I have brought you two bottles of wine.

That's so nice. Let's see what we got here. No, that's the second one. The first one, I went right around the corner here. I asked for a nice white, for someone who was health conscious. He was like, that's not enough information. Like California, France or Italy, I was like California. He just pointed at one.

I bought it. It looks pretty nice. Beautiful. That's the first wine. The second wine is from Ohio. I shipped it here. I put it in a box. And I'm not going to say the brand name because this is medium rude to even talk about.

This is Lake Erie Sweet Bell. It is sweet table wine. When I brought it home, my wife was like, what you get? And I told her, and she made this face. And that's when I decided to get the second. I really appreciate it. Okay, so try this. And if you don't like it, serve it to your enemies.

Serve it to rival podcasters, insurance people. And finally, I know you are very health conscious, but I couldn't not bring the official delicacy of Ohio, which is Buckeyes. This is not an OSU thing. This is chocolate and peanut butter. Don't overthink it. Don't eat all of them at the same time.

It's not like a rookie mistake. That's another thing. This is chocolate and peanut butter. That's all it is, just in a rough nut shape. No, no to all of this. All right, that's fine. I'm used to that, but I... Thank you, Rob. That's so kind.

Of course. Yasi, you are so loved, so beloved. One of the great joys of my life right now is just going to the GoFundMe page, just reading the comments. Rob, you're being so presumptuous. Did you guys know my house burned now? Feeling the energy. What if they don't know? Then they're going to be like, why is he talking to her?

Just make a wish foundation. And like, they need to know. Not everyone follows the, you know, you know, social. social media. What's been going on with you? Besides the house burning down. No, that's it. That's probably all that's been going on with you.

It's taken up a lot of time. Well, I'm living with my new roommate, my dad. Yes. And we've been watching White Collar, which is really a good show to watch with your dad. I mean, honestly, there's so many seasons. Things are good. Listen, I really wanted to declutter, you guys.

So that's a cheap joke, but it's actually true. It was literally on my, like, vision board for 2025. Also, I used to have moths, and I don't have moths anymore because they died. And this is really honest, and it's going to sound like a joke, but on one hand, I lost everything that I've ever owned and loved. Yes.

But on the other hand, I love attention. So I have, like, a really conflicting feelings about what's happened. There's so much attention. It's so nice. But no, seriously, you guys, I went to my PO box. I'm going to cry. Like, the first time, and I've been going regularly, and I just opened all these incredible gifts from all you guys,

all the people that listen. Just, I was so touched. I was so mood. I cried for two hours. Just T-shirts from people's personal collections, books that you guys know that I would like. Like, somebody was like, I heard you talk. talk about the untethered soul. That's right, but I'm woo-woo and I needed to heal my soul. And she was like, I live nearby the like ashram or the man who wrote it, runs it,

and I got it signed for you. It's just like, I've just been crying and I'm so sorry. I was like in not a right headspace and I meant to like take down the information of everyone who sends stuff to like saying, I didn't. And I'm so sorry, but just know that if you send something, it's meant the world to me. Like it's meant more than you can understand. So thank you. And that's enough of that. I don't want to be burnt down house girl forever. Hashtag burn down house influencer. Also, you know, the Instagram, this is so 2025 in such a bad way.

The Instagram post that I like dashed off at 5 a.m. Just because I was like, so many text messages asking, did your house burn down have to answer? Yes, my house burned down. I was like, let's just put out a house burned down. And then it went viral. Okay. It's quoted in the Washington Post. dystopian.

But very nice. So thank you to everyone. And Rob for your nice gifts. It's okay. It's fine. I'll just take it home. It's all right. I actually brought two bottles of Ohio wine.

And then I was like, I can't bring three bottles and two of them are basically undrinkable. And so there's just a bottle of Ohio wine in my hotel room just staring at me. Like, why did you bring this via Southwest? Two bottles of sweet table wine? They fit in the box.

man. The other one was Amish-themed. I just, there was a buggy on that. I don't think they bottled it, right? I just, I didn't know what I was doing, all right? I panicked a little bit. I'm so touched. And this is the, this is the result. I'm grateful. I'm really pleased that you brought it for me. Yeah, that's pretty much what's been going on with you. What's, what's been going on with you? It's freezing in Ohio. My son next week will be portraying Uncle Wes in the footloose musical. At his middle school, he's got a mustache. It is going to be a trip to have my 13-year-old son

portraying a stuffy adult in a movie that I watched when I was 10 years old. That's going to be very confusing for me for my just a chronology standpoint. But I'm very excited about that. He was in Frozen Jr. last year, but he was in the ensemble, right? Like he was in the winter chorus, et cetera.

But he has a speaking role. He has to play fight. this is going to be very, very exciting. Do you do theater when you were a kid? I did not. I did choir. We sang show tunes and stuff, but I did not act in any capacity. No. Yes, my wife was in like bye-bye birdie and stuff.

So I think that's where he's getting this bug. But it's very exciting. I'm going to be very proud. I think that's about it. I feel very... I don't know how much more we can mind the burned down house. We were going to come out to talk. Hocking heads burning down the house.

We had a long conversation. They said it was a bad idea, and I was like, okay. We asked Sean Fennessee, and he said, that's not a choice I would make, but and that's when we decided against it. I don't know. I do have one more thing to say. Okay. Of all the, like, really fun, because you've got to laugh, you know.

Of all the funny things that have happened, maybe the funniest is the text message I got from the real, real. You guys fuck with the real real. I think if you're a woman and you have ever sold to the real real real real real, you understand the relentlessness with which they will text you being like, hi, it's Madison. I'm just checking to see if you have any blah, blah, blah to sell. And so I get a text message the other day and it was like,

hey, it's Addison, your real, real rep. I noticed on the map that your address is in the area that was afflicted by the wildfires. Are you okay? And it had like a quotation mark at the end. I was like, Addison, did you copy and paste? this are you okay message also not even like here's a hundred dollar credit i'm not okay i have no clothes left babe send me a credit i could buy some more at the real real anyways that was very funny i don't even know what that is what is the real world it's a it's a designer resale website

where people can sign their designer clothing and other mentally ill people like myself buy them yeah and they also do wellness checks for people whose houses are burned out they do community outreach to people who have been afflicted by the fires. Yeah. Well, you guys, we're here not to draft all of the precious items that I have lost in the fire, however, to draft soundtracks. That's right. Yes.

So we will bring out at this time, Sean J. Fennessey and Christopher Q. Ryan, who have graciously agreed to draft with us, because you, you legally cannot say no to me in one calendar year after my house burned down. That's right. My middle initial is not J. It's not Q either, by the way. What did I just say about my house brain now? It is tonight.

As usual, we're tasking Chris Ryan, who's just so good at this, the draft master. I'm not that good at drafting. It's really efficient. Yeah. You're pretty good at drafting. Authoritative. I try to be. Yeah.

You're pretty good at drafting, just full stop. But also, you just are such, you have such a way with explaining the words and terms clearly in the way I don't, not possess. So we're doing soundtracks tonight. I will specify that we are not doing scores, which I needed clarity on. Maybe in the seventh inning of my prep. And, you know, so no John Barry. You know, we're not going to do any John Williams. is the soundtracks largely comprised of songs with music and lyrics, right?

So we are doing four categories, five categories, 70s, 80s, 90s, 21st century concert film. You can pick, while we're going through the rules here, we'll establish an order. That person can pick anything from any category, and then it's off the board, and then we will be relying on public opinion, to determine the winner of the draft through your clapping, you know, and I wonder who will win.

Please don't be swayed by my personal tragedy. This is a fair and square fight. Sean wouldn't have come otherwise if he knew. Do you think the Dodgers look good this year? It's like a challenge, like how bad would your draft have to be? That's what I'm saying. I could just pivot entirely. I could just really like push it. A lot of people at home who are like,

I don't know, that story about Rob's son and footloose really touched my heart. Uncle Wes, you say, I'm voting for Rob. Congratulations, Yossi, on your victory in the draft about to transpire. You have bested us. I was thinking we could go in order of the way we're seated, and then that would put the onus on Sean

to give up the first pick to Yassi as an act of great benevolence. You guys don't have to watch his face, though, because Sean is the world's most competitive drafter. Like, I've never met anyone like this, and it's going to be a real challenge for him. We're going to do this snake draft style, so it'll go this way and then that way. I'm really others by you, I've got to say.

You could give it to me if you want to split the difference. You know, it's pretty funny. I will happily grant. the first selection to Yasi with all comfort and ease in that decision. So we'll go Yasi, Sean, Rob, me, me, Rob, Sean Yassi. Can I get fired in this calendar year or no? I'm an officer of the Spotify Corporation. That's all I have to say about that.

Somewhere Deep Seek is just writing all the new bandsplains is just like, Babe, it's so important what they did. What a God, I'm gorgeous, beautiful song. I'm mentally ill, J.K., love primal scream. The feminism left my body. The AI is going to be like, this song, fucks. Oh my God, I would be so honored to go first. Thank you so much, Sean, for your graciousness.

Yes, if you don't mind at any given point when you've picked a movie, when you just throw that up there and say what category it is in. We should have markers. So we're going this way around? Yasi, you, after the trade, where you got, in return, you got nothing.

So, Yassi, you, rob me. You're not a warm feeling in your heart. That's right. Do we just, sorry, this is kind of a dumb question. Just our own draft picks on our own board. Yes, you do not have to write down in my draft picks. Okay. I'm going to choose 70s.

Okay. Chronological. Well, yeah, it's just the, that was the one I felt the most strongest about. And I'm going to draft the 1978 film, Greece. Is that breaking the rules?

I don't know. I'm merely a guest on this podcast. We didn't ban musicals. If we objected right now, what would happen to us? Get out. Can three people be struck by lightning on the same stage simultaneously? I can't support me or not?

Did you make that face because it's a musical? Did you make a face? You didn't get. You were talking about this backstage. Sorry, this is an audio-only podcast for some of you, but Sean did make a face. Yasi looked at me five minutes before she walked out on stage and said, why are you making that face?

And I don't know what my face looked like. And I said, Yasi, this is something that my wife often says to me. Why are you making that face? And usually it's take that face off your fucking face. but I don't know what my face looks like so whatever face I made I don't know she said grease and you almost

seemed like point of order that's what I was reading for your face that's what I thought there was going to be an objection you have object sanding objection face resting objecting face incredible Greece sounds wonderful

Yossi well I thought there might be blowback but just in case I did research as I am wont to do and so much of it was written exclusively for the film, so I feel like it's not just like a straight Broadway-to-film situation. Whatever you want, Yassie. It's not even fun anymore.

Greece was not a stage musical before it was a movie, right? Not, I don't know. I don't know anything about musical. Someone said correct. It was. It was. Interesting. When was it a stage musical? Before the 70s?

Who's our theater nerds? Fantastic. Fantastic research for this program. This is the first overall pick. This is the first album we're talking about. Nobody knows anything. Pure vibes up here. We all have the halo. I'm sitting next to someone who's house burned down.

And so I think we all have a protective halo around us right now. Are you looking up Greece on Wikipedia right now? Do you, can you name one song on Greece other than Summer Love, just so I know? Name three songs, Yassie. Yeah, look at me, I'm Sandra D. Lousy, well, virgin. I did that in the talent show. Go, go, go, grease lightning,

Blue Moon, born a hand job. I had this, like, double album, and it, like, shaped me as a child. I love this movie. 1971 was the stage musical, so it did pre-dain. You're in it.

As they say in the film, Greece is the word. I just love it. You're the one that I want? Olivia Newton John, familiar with her. Beauty School dropout. Come on, you guys. This goes so fucking hard.

Just four sides. Double disc. Anyways, that's my 1970s. Thank you very much. Just a real death blow to my strategy, taking grease off the board first over a whole. Sean and Chambles. Some of us don't.

don't play to beat other people. Some of us play to be... You're doing crowd work now when you're standing? Yeah, you just turned into Lewis Black there. I mean, I'm here with the kings and queen of the 90s, so I have to go 90s, right? Yeah, the 90s was like an embarrassment of Rich. You just do like a Twitter thread where you're like, the 90s are superior to everything. Yeah, I did.

You went very hard on like the... corporate environment that allowed the 90s to flourish. Did you disagree with that sentiment? No, I did not. But you're like, you're like, oh, you guys love the 90s, not like me. That's right. I didn't say not like me. I'm a part of this. I'm going to go with the 90s and I'm going to take Pulp Fiction. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. It's good.

The first scene of Pulp Fiction. right and the credits roll and it's the surf music and the radio station changes and it goes to jungle boogie that's awesome what happened that was sick girl you'll be a woman sooner Joverkill gorge that was good yeah

favorite song on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack um counting flowers on the wall Stattler brothers uh maybe Never Can Tell, Chuck Berry. That's got to be mine.

Maybe Miserleau by Dick Dale in the Deltones. Maybe all of them. Here's the thing. I'm sure other soundtracks like this will be chosen, but one of the great things about all the Tarantino soundtracks is the dialogue on the soundtracks, which was a great tradition that I think was started, I think, by Good Morning Vietnam.

The Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack, which had Good Morning Vietnam, all the Robin Williams' schick from the movie. and I think it was because like MCA records pioneered that strategy and that was just a way to not have to

re-watch Pul fiction but be inside of Pulp Fiction when you listen to the soundtrack so I love it so that's my pick you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Paris they don't call it a quarter pounder with cheese I mean they get the metric system

they wouldn't know what the fuck a quarter pounder is what do they call it? They call it Royale with cheese that one's surprising no one but it's a good pick. The can all be grease. Had I wanted to get your ass, I could have picked 90s and dropped to that,

but I don't play, I don't play dirty like you. Okay, who's next? Purple Rain. I've spent a couple weeks trying to talk myself out of it, but there's no talking myself out of. Purple Rain, which I honestly believe is the greatest album ever made. Recently I have come to that conclusion.

This record has been with me, all my life. Purple Rain comes on 84. I'm six years old. I know Prince is the guy in the bathtub in the When Doves Cry video. I know Purple Rain, the movie is the movie I'm not allowed to see because of illicit sexual type content. I grow up. I realize that Prince is one of the most beloved commercially and critically, you know, humans ever. And then when he died, I was at a baseball game with my dad. We were at Cleveland. It was the Indians at the time, celebrating. It was the Indians at the time, celebrating my dad's birthday. It was in April. And like they start playing,

let's go crazy on the organ, right? And I'm like, uh-oh, and I start getting the texts or whatever. And I just remember how the tone changed, like in my family, like my older, my younger brother is there, my parents are there. And just the vibe changes completely, right? And we drive home from the game

and we listen to Purple Rain the whole way. Like we find, like, it's like a live version of Purple Rain, the song. It's like 20 minutes long. The guitar solo was endless. And it's just all four of us in the car, like just dead silent, like this reverence. And it's one of, it just out of nowhere became like one of the most beautiful, like, resonant music experiences I've ever had in my life, just sitting in the car with my family, you know, listening to this music that I periodically take for granted, right? Like, it's just in the air.

Like, I've had a couple MRIs just for very minor things. And they're like, what music would you like to listen to? And I say Prince. Every time I say Prince. And every time they start with, let's go crazy. and I'm in the MRI thing, and I hear dearly beloved, and I start laughing and shaking so much that they have to stop the MRI.

They stop the media. This has happened to me several times. This is just an album that periodically I'll take for granted. It's always been with me. Oh, sure, it's great. But I put it on again. You know, I get to I Will Die for you. I get to any song, literally any song.

And it's like, no, actually, this is my favorite album ever made by one of my favorite people, you know, favorite artists I've ever known. It's like a kid watching MTV, you know, it's like a 90s kid watching MTV, and he's got assless chaps now, and it's like, holy shit. I just finally getting to see him live, you know, and just the single best line of rock criticism ever is Bob Crisgow saying, Mick Jagger should fold up his dick and go home. Best sentence of rock criticism, we should all metaphorically fold up our dicks. and go home as rock critics after that.

I was rambling a little bit. Purple Rain from the 80s is my pick. Absolutely. I am now seeing the error of my grease ways. You know, I had my own personal strategy. It was like a micro episode of 60 songs. Seriously. How lucky are you guys?

You went off the dome with that, though. I'm really glad I didn't pick Purple Rain. This is just how he talks. How annoying is that? You should have been in like blaze battles. You could have like... Rob, when you... you go home at night and it's just you and your wife

and you guys are talking, are you like, well, when you think about this song, I was in Cleveland in 19-night. No, thank you. It's been really nice here tonight. I feel like it's really warm. It's really supportive. I'm sorry, we're going to change that up a little bit. I'm going to take train spotting.

You already knew, babe. I didn't even put on my list, honey. Do you not? Because I knew you were going to take it. It's also not my favorite. Isn't the 90s? Okay. It's a great soundtrack. It's not my favorite.

The embarrassment of riches in the 90s. I would say that the 90s soundtracks kind of have this through line where they're mostly like mixtape soundtracks, obviously. But some of these have a collection of songs that feel like they didn't exist before the movie. And Trinspotting is like that for me. Like, you know, Born Slippy was this huge song. Sing was on an earlier blur album.

Statue-esque is, you know, like this. Sleeper song, but I felt like hearing those songs together was like this coherent aesthetic statement that went perfectly with the movie itself. And probably had lust for life is a really good example of that. It's a huge classic, but is like the first opening frames of the movie, the drumbeat, you're just like, holy shit, here we go. It's steal some heroin. So train spotting is my 90s pick, and I have the benefit of being on the turn here.

You want to write it on your board? I will in a second. I will in a second. Could you do it now? I don't want to sit here and wait for him to write that down. Could you actually do it? The rules say. I'm going to zig and go concert film and go last waltz.

R.I.P. Garth Hudson. Absolutely. Perfect film, perfect concert, perfect band. The name of the band. I was just watching the performance of the weight with the staples singer the other day. And I was like, music pinnacle. Absolutely pinnacle music. Yeah.

Music fucking rocks. Dude's rock. So I will do train spotting in the last waltz, and I will go home. Job, Chris Ryan. Fun fact about me. I've still never seen the last waltz. Never seen it. I've never seen.

I know they're going to take my podcast away. I was going to wear the Van Morrison purple velour outfit tonight, but didn't. I can't laugh at that because I don't know what you're talking about. He does like kicks, you know, Van Morrison, who's just a wee Irish man, you know? He's just doing kicks on stage. Like a leprecha? What's that? Like a little lepricard?

Not natural. All right, so it's back to me. Yeah. I am going to do concert film as well. I'm going to do Aretha Franklin Amazing Grace. The album was 1972. The movie was locked forever for weird, vague, technical reasons. I think it finally came out in 2018.

But it's the crowd for me. You know, I love Stop Making Sense. I love the last waltz. But what I love most about live albums is the interaction with the crowd. I think about James Brown at the Apollo, fulsome prison blues, like just the roar of the crowd, like up to Erica Badu doing Tyrone. Like what I need from a live album is that feeling of connection. And it's just the way the rapture of the crowd, you know,

she hits like six amazing high notes per song. Like it's just, I really do think it's like the most towering, vocal performance by anyone ever for an hour and a half. It's just unbelievable. And the crowd is just right there with her the entire time. I think it was filmed in L.A. at the Baptist Church. And every time I watch it, you know, you just focus on, even the crowd behind her. Like, when she sings Amazing Grace, the choir is arranged behind her. And the choir, like, the people backing her up are so blown away by what she's doing. They're just, you just, you see it in their faces, like just the shock and the delight.

As much as I love the last Walt, stop making sense, whatever it is, like just the awe that she inspires, both audibly in the crowd and visibly in, you know, her collaborators, the people on stage, like James Cleveland's playing piano. During Amazing Grace, he walks, he sits down in a pew and cries for the last half of the song

while she's singing Amazing Grace. It's just, it's unbelievable to me. So my pick for a concert movie is Aretha Franklin. amazing grace. I don't know you guys. Rob's kind of winning. How's burned down or not? Rob's kind of fucking killing us.

That's a great pick. That's such a good pick. Sidney Pollock. Directed that? When I think gospel choirs and Aretha Franklin, I think of him and his suspenders and eyes white shut.

The cinema of Sydney, yeah. Are you guys big concert film bros, guys? What do you mean? Like you like them a lot? sure yeah yeah do you remember in rattle and hum when bono's like rock and roll stops the traffic i live by that dude's too dude's rock

i'm borgia i didn't mean to borgia i am the reason there's so much traffic in l.a and it's because i'm listening to rock and roll i'm just like when he what does he say when he addresses the leader of the free world is this excuse me mr president now you guys don't know that He used to call up. God is in short of cash, Mr. Yes. It's better when he says it, obviously. Why did you just start talking about rattling, huh?

Yeah. Because she was asking for, like, concert films. I was just giving an example. I'm so glad I was writing for most of that conversation. Do you like them? There's like a few that I like, but by and far, I don't love them. I should probably leave, it's my pick, so I should leave 140. you, right?

Yeah. I shouldn't be an absolute demon. You can take whatever you want, babe. I can handle it. You should do what you want to do. Yeah. Don't do that to me. I'm going to go 70s.

Okay. And I'm going to pick what I think is the best soundtrack of the 1970s. That's the gist of the draft. Have I just solved drafting? which is Superfly by Curtis Mayfield.

This is something that more filmmakers should do, which is to hire one person and say, make the sound of this movie. No movie sounds like Superfly, which is an okay black exploitation movie, but feels like one of the most important films ever made because of the depth and sincerity that Curtis Mayfield imbues in the movie.

And it's like perfect time, perfect place for where movies were at that time and where the sound of kind of like contemporary R&B and funk colliding to, together were, but it's like both sets the template for a certain kind of R&B for the next 30 years, but also is completely unreplicable. There's nothing that sounds quite like it, even though there were a ton of records that came out at that time attached to movies like it. So Superfly is the pick. It's back to you. He doesn't, oh, I doubles at me. Oh, a double. You double. I double.

Because you were first. Because he let you go first. Okay, I'm going to go 90s. And I'm going to, Wait, we talk about it first and then we write it. I was really excited to write on the board. I'm going to go Romeo and Juliet. Very Yossi. Challenging for me for many reasons. Obviously, I'm a 90s girlie. There's so many good ones.

And I also just didn't. We've done episodes on some of them that I just don't want to talk about again. And it's not that they're not my favorites and they really deserve the shine. But I was just being a mindful podcaster. And I was like, I like these just as much as those. and I just don't want to rehash. Was it between this and judgment night for you? And you thought I did a judgment night episode.

Singles. Now, Singles is on the list for sure. Yeah. Well, this is a weird soundtrack. I seriously considered it as well. Okay. To Chris's earlier point, it invented a love fool. I mean, it existed, but like it made that song like go crazy.

And it just has like, it's just such a cool, weird mix of songs that are pretty much all really good. Number one crush, kind of in my opinion, the best garbage song. We stand our Alexakis up here. And local god.

Also, a lot of the songs were written for the film, which is so, like, local god, like, name checks Romeo, like, you do that, Romeo? I also wanted to ask guys, do you guys feel like a local god when you're with the boys? I'm sure. Never with the boys, unless you mean my own boys,

and I am no. I do not feel like the local god at all. Do you think that Chris and I just like sit in a corvette and drink Miller Light and listen to Everclear songs? Yes, we do. Because that is what we do. You know that I can't even imagine you guys separate from each other. Like in my mind, you live in the same house with your spouses and your child.

You're never apart. But there's like one inch punch, bro. You ever fucking go back and listen to that one inch punch song? which is Justin Warfield from She Wants Revenge. It's a really good song. Kissing you. Desiree, I was going to say you got to do that. I'm crying. Nelly Hooper snapped with that one, but is this is before OK, computer, right?

I was going to say because exit music was supposed to be... Talk Shows was a B-side on Street Spirit fade out, which had already come out. That single with the B-side had already come out. Talk Show is a God-tier radio head song. My favorites. And exit music for a film, which isn't actually on the soundtrack, but is in the film. In the movie, right?

Everybody's free to feel good. As covered by Quinden Tarver, a child in the movie. Also does When Doves Cry? Just, it's random, a lot of Swedish people on here. I'm not really sure why. And then when they did covers, they had, like, the woman from soul to soul does the cover of, what is the song? This is why I bring notes because I have no brain in space.

Young Hearts Run Free. It's Kim Mazzle from, I just, I just thought, there's like, really thoughtful and, like, cool, and it, like, touched on, like, club music in an interesting way, and it's really sexy and, like, I don't know. I thought it was the best soundtrack of the 90s. Okay, so that's your 90s pick. Yeah, oh, and then now it's me again.

You guys are pro-Baz-Lorman? Hit or miss for me personally. These are my friends. I don't know if I've Oh no, I saw a gasp. Romeo and Juliet, I have not understood a single thing he's done since then. I have no idea what he's talking about.

In Romeo and Juliet, I'm like, this is such a great idea. Modernity with these old stories and bringing this cool new stuff to something old. And ever since then, you know he's Australian. He should shut up. He's Australian, yeah. What does that mean? A show called Australia and nobody watched it.

It was a movie. I just feel it explains a lot. He cut it into a series. He recut it into a streaming television show for Hulu called Far Away Downs. Why can't I be normal? These people didn't even bring their Google Dog printed out

on 70 pages on their dad's printer because who cares about his ink. Who cares about his? Anacdotes committed to memory. Sean and I are like, let's get in our car and stare at each other.

I'm going, what? Oh my God. This is a family show. I'm going 2000s. Great. And I'm doing Garden State. Whoa. Whoa!

That's right, bitch. I respect it. I had to think long and hard about this, but I was like, I'm sorry, you can't fucking deny the garden states. Whatever you think about it, and you know famously, I'm the biggest hater of the 2000s. To me, they largely should not exist. Ugly, terrible time with terrible music and terrible fashion. Some good exceptions. But like, my dog, Zachary the Brough, he's snob.

snapped on this one, babe. He went crazy. You know, he picked all the songs. He won a Grammy. He won a Grammy? Correct. For music supervision? Yeah, for the soundtrack. He literally won a fucking Grammy. That's great. So is he

three quarters of the weight that you got now? Where is just waiting on that Tony? Don't count him out, babe. I could see him singing and dancing. Four time, best actor winner. Zach Braff. Don't panic is an amazing song. that cold play album that whole parachutes album we have discussed this yeah we love it

the shins new slang okay it will change your life yeah it will change and yes was that a corny they got saddle with that line you know yes and but whatever they also got saddled with bunch of fucking money I'm sure they're fine they were not gonna they would not be working today if that line didn't exist to me it's not in the aftermath the song it's the meme of putting on the

headphones because the song is good now as it was then. I think what's happened, which I was a little, I don't know if you guys felt this way. I was like a little to really try and a church and state the movie and the film because sometimes I have so much affection for the film that it like bleeds over into loving the soundtrack more than I should. This is I think has the opposite experience for people. Like I think the soundtrack is catching strays because people think the movie is so corny and annoying, which is actually honestly, it's not that bad.

Did it invent kind of the manic pixie dream girl? Yes. Are there many annoying parts? Sure. But like the soundtrack isn't innocent. You like the soundtrack? Yeah, I do. I remember seeing it in the theater. And I remember this is going to be a really big deal and this is going to be annoying after a while. But then it's going to come back around. And then like 10, 15 years, somebody sitting next to me is going to draft it and a podcast draft, which is not a concept I understand at the time. But I just have the vague idea that all of this is going to happen. I can just see the cycle in my head. I know you like the business aspect of things. You like business.

I like the what? The business aspects of things. You're always going on about it on your podcast. You're always like, they paid $110 million for this film. What was the studio thinking? Yasi discovered the big picture like three weeks ago. And she's like, I'm about listening to your podcast. Wow.

Interesting choices. That is correct. I'm a big pick. What are the people called that listen to the big video? Do they have a fan? Geniuses. That's what they're calling. I'm a stand now.

did I work here for two full years without having ever heard one single 10 seconds of that, correct? No, it's great. But I just think that this movie was made for like $3 million or something and he like sent the script to each musician to like ask them

I mean there's a Simon and Garfunkel song on this soundtrack. Colin Hay, my dog, my guy. You want me to stop talking at my own show? That was your second pick? Yeah, she got Romeo and Juliet Garden State.

I don't understand. You keep... By Iron and Wine. But you didn't... You didn't take the concert. I don't... I left the concert film for you to take. Because you guys are really...

You think you have me figured out. Like, you think you have me in a box and you don't. I knew what you guys were gonna pick. She's bringing Manic Pixie Dream Girl back. I'm not like other girls. The AI can say that too.

Just I don't know if you guys know that. I'm not like other girls. So... Can I ask the men on the panel to advise me, like, am I supposed to take the concert film now? Yes. Yes. Look at me, dude.

I don't want to win. You're not going to. You could pick, like, anything right now, and she will win. I think it's like, it's cool. I will win because I have the love and support of my coworkers and the beautiful audience. So no matter what happens, unlike Sean, I don't care who wins the draft. I'm going to go home to the beautiful T-shirt. that people sent me.

When I arrive at the pearly gates and St. Peter says, how many drafts did you win? And I say 318 and he says, come right in, sir. Yeah, that's how it works. Totally. Okay. I need to write my things.

But yeah, go ahead. Is this because you're going to pick Talking Heads? Go ahead. Yeah, in concert film, I'll take, stop making sense. I feel like it would be weird to go any further in this draft without taking that film,

which is, in my opinion, the best concert movie of all time. Obviously, just was in theaters again last year. Did you guys go see it in a movie theater? recorded a podcast with Rob about that film and how spiritual and beautiful and exciting and stupid and fun it is. The screening that I went to at Vidyat's here in Los Angeles, every single person stood up and danced during the movie. I never had a movie going experience like that in my life.

And Talking Heads, I think, are the best band since the Beatles and maybe the best band period since the Beatles. I don't know if there's been another band that is more meaningful to me. So that's the movie I'm picking. Also, you didn't mention that I think the most, sorry, me talking with my back to the audience, I feel like one of the most impressive things about that one is that like the songs are better than they are on the albums. I agree completely. Like it's like that's not that common. We talked about it on the Talking Heads episode, but like you usually don't like the live version better.

But like almost across the board on that album, the live versions are better, which is truly phenomenal. It's the lamp for me. It's naive melody. the lamp is one of... But we're not talking about the film. We're just talking about the soundtrack. That's true. But it's still, I can see the lamp

when I hear it. Rob, you're up, man. You once dressed like David Byrne from the film. You did. You got that suit. Remember? I was like, can I expense a big suit?

And you were like, you know, I remember exactly what you said. You were like, I did not realize you liked dressing up so much. And I told you, I'm an entertainer. And I lived to entertain. I looked great. You all picked 90s already, didn't you?

Yeah, you did. Okay. And there's so much left, right? I'm not worried about that then. All right. I'm going to do the 2000s and beyond. It's Josie and the Pussy Cats. It was so good.

It was on my list, Rob. In 2001, if you were a certain sort of power pop, cars, go-goes, moving into Fountains of Wayne sort of person, just the people behind this, right? Adam Schlesinger, of course, Kay Hanley, from letters to Cleo. Baby face out of nowhere. Adam Duritz. Jane Wheelan from the Go-Go's.

The songs are, I feel like pop punk and power pop, you know, as we move into the Warp Tour era, like it's just boys talking about how angry they are and how hot all the girls around them are. Like, that's the subject matter of so much power pop and pop punk going forward. And I just feel like this is a nice beautiful oasis, you know, without that sort of toxic energy. Like so much of the music and even culture from 2001 specifically has this weird sort of ugly sheen for me that I can't figure out if that's because I was just a weird young adult

and it just struck me weird and or it's like the... You're an ally, a male ally. That's exactly right. I was too sensitive. Thank you. Thank you. But there's, I like that this flopped at first. This has like Scott Pilgrim energy, right?

Like I think it's better that it was the people who saw it in real time and really loved it. It was theirs for a long time. and now it's coming back around, you know, getting a lot more esteem, you know, in the same way that Scott Pilgrim thing. You know, the almost Marxist sort of anti-commercialism message of the film, I think really resonates now. Like, I love that nobody understood it at the time, but everyone gets it now, right?

And so my pick is Josie and the Pussycats. Oh, good. Matthew Sweet. Matthew Sweet is involved in this? Like, Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleos is the voice of Josie? What was the boy band's name in that movie? D'Jour. Du Jor.

Du Jor. means friendship. Du Jor means seatbelts. Yeah. They have a song called Backdoor Lover that I was playing on my Bluetooth in my hotel room, and I was like, I'm going to get kicked out of this hotel room right now.

I erred in not bringing up du jour. Thank you very much. Genius movie. Yes. For 2000s, Yasi taught me it was okay to be not. weird. So I'll take Royal Tenenbombs. Just under the wire there, 2001, I think it was, right? Needle in the hay, possibly the best needle drop of the century. These days, the Vince Garaldi

trio, the beautiful, using all these soundtrack songs also as texture, also as score, even though it's like, you know, like, because they're just quick cut, chopped up. It's just such a genius way of using it and there's no bad songs on this soundtrack so it's a good choice great moment for Van Morrison as well incredible Van Morrison lineup for you very pro Van Morrison

lineup yeah I didn't pick this one specifically because I felt it had too many Mark Mother's ball composition like it just didn't feel as strong to me as I'm not arguing yeah but if it has these days

Judy is a punk a needle in the hay But it was also like, I think I was like, I think when I was looking at this, I was getting so excited about things that, like, marked their era. And I felt like Garden State's so marked its era. This is a great one. Wouldn't feel that way about Gwyneth coming off the bus to these days? That's like a, that's, that's the 2001 to me.

You guys are once again conflating the drops of songs in the movie with the soundtrack as it stands when you listen to it. Those are different things. We're interpreting the album as a piece of the film, yeah. And when I think of 1978 and what it represented, I think of Greece. Born to Hanjai.

I think being born, yes. That are performance. So I had two real weird choices. That would have been good. Yeah, it was on there. So I have 80s and 70s left. Couldn't choose performance. For 80s, I'll go repo man.

Yeah. Oh, man, so good. I was just watching this the other day. How about music that sounds like the place the movie is set. Or of the era. I mean, it's also very, it's very contemporaneous.

So this is my era appropriate one. I don't have anything profound to say about this. It's just fucking awesome. So yeah, those are my two ten bombs and repubim. That's a good pick for you. I don't know where my marker went. I'm sitting here.

It has to be somewhere in like a five foot radius around me. I have no idea where it is. I don't feel like looking for it. So this is my board. And that's the way it's going to stay. Just so you're not. Nah, it's all right. It's fine this way.

I've been. Okay, well, thank you. Where could it have gone? I don't know. I really don't know. It's amazing. It's my superpower, honestly. This is my wallet is probably gone, too, and I just don't know it yet.

It's under the carpet over there. I'm like Houdini. I think Chris probably just has them both. Probably. Chris, was the original title of the Watch TV party, and you changed it? Ooh, that's good. It would have been good. When I lose Andy, I'll lose Andy.

start a pod call TV party. Such a good title. TV party? I'm sure there's a podcast called TV party. Well, there could be a better one, like yours. You have 70s left? Is that correct? I have 70s left.

Okay, so I better make sure you don't take the Muppet movie. Two things about the Muppet movie. I was in a medium, stressful, errand running situation. I don't remember what. it was. I was in like a Coles returning something and I didn't have the thing. I was like, and the rainbow connection came on and I was instantly so soothed. I became so serene. There's something about the melodic quality of the rainbow connection that it's really one of the greatest songs of all time while you're listening to it. We got moving right along, right? We got a few

jams, but I was in the Spotify office today and I was listening to it again and there's a song I completely forgot about where it's Kermit the Frog and Rolf. the piano playing dog, and Kermit is like downtrodden, and they're in a bar, and Rolf is like, you look like, you need to drink. Kermit orders a grasshopper,

and Rolf, Rolf starts talking about how, that's why I don't mess with women. I go home, I have a couple drinks, and I go to bed, and I started laughing so hard that Jonathan Kerma,

my producer, who was sitting two stations down for me, stood up and walked over, he's like, Rob, what are you doing? And I had to explain to him. It's like, it's the Muppet movie, right? And like, Rolf and Kermman, it's hilarious. And the look on Kermm's face is why I work from home. I can't turn on a microphone. I lost my marker. This is who I am. But this is, I had just a sacred moment with the Muppet soundtrack today that other people were unfortunate enough to witness. But it was the funniest thing that I'd ever heard. my entire life was Rolf saying

I go home, I drink two beers and I go to bed. The Muppet movie. I finish work. I go home. Read a book. Have a couple of beers. Take myself for a walk and go to bed. Nice and simple. Stay away from women. That's my motto.

I think that's an amazing pick. The story, the coals, everything. Ten out of ten. The last song in that movie when it's like, life's like a movie. Write your own. That's crack. That is incredible stuff.

Do you think these songs are good, independent of them being sung by Muppets? You just got to get over it, man. Just like have a heart. This is content. I'm just asking if it was like a dude singing that song. If it was like Iggy Pop?

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You like the Cameron Winter album. Yeah. We love it. I'm just asking. No, we both love it.

But I'm like, you don't like Muppet singing? Just to, To Yasi's point about us conflating the film and the music, I would just ask if you think that these songs are

quality or is it quality because Fossi Dair. The Rainbow Connection. Wouldn't be beloved? That's your question. That's what I'm wondering. Yes. Van Morrison sang New Slang. Also wouldn't hit as hard, you know. These are the questions we need to be asking.

Do you need some Ohio One? means it loosening up a little bit it's uh it's your turn brother it's my notes um i had my eye on repo man i lost it to chris so i'm going with say anything from my 80s pick which is an amazing soundtrack obviously has an iconic needle drop within your eyes by peter gabriel a song that is still beautiful

to this day cult of personality by living color a jam of all jams and one of my favorite songs of all time within your reach by the replacements. I think that's my favorite replacement song. Which is not like any replacement song. It's so different from what they do, but it is such a perfect Paul Westerberg song.

It used to be a proper country. You put that on a soundtrack. What's Lily Taylor's ex-boyfriend named in this movie? I forget. Joe. Joe lies. Joe, yeah. Joe is always lying.

Why is he always, why is he, Why. And Red Hot Chili Peppers' Cheapers' Cheapers' Chitriani. There's a ton of great songs in this. And this is really the beginning of the Cameron Crow master of the soundtrack moment. So for 1980s, say anything. It's a great one. Want to go twice now?

Oh, you go twice. You finish, you finish. I didn't go, I already won twice, didn't I? Went once. Then you went back around. You went twice. Now you go twice again. I truly can't understand. It doesn't matter how many times I do it. But you will get to finish out.

So I just do two more because everyone else has everything. No, we all have one more. You have to stay on stage when you're done with yours, if that's what you're asking. I'm going to go home. Okay. You go home and watch the last waltz, perhaps. So I do both 80s and performance film. That's right.

A concert film. Okay. 80s is tough for me, you guys, right now. You guys have suggestions? Do I go with my heart or do I try to win? Okay, okay, okay. not both? Why not both? I know that's true. Sean's like, I do

both. Stop. I think I'm going to go with Times Square from 1980. Okay, it just, is it the best movie in the world? No, but it's a fun movie. It's cool. The soundtrack is fucking amazing.

I learned that it was because the producer was the president of RSO Records and they had also put out Saturday Night Fever and Greece, my favorite soundtrack. And so he had a ton of money and he wanted to make another like, it's like the pretenders talk of the town, Roxy Music,

Gary Newman is on here, down in the park, talking heads, life during wartime, peanut butter song, XTC. They're just, I can't, I don't have all my notes so I can't tell you the rest, but it's just Ramones, like it has I think Walk on the Wild Side by

Lou Reed. Does that sound right to you guys? It definitely has a leuried song. I can't remember which one because my notes are not in order. Anyways, it's an incredible soundtrack and it's also like the thing that I like where it's like it's about this punk girl making music in Times Square with her new friend and has all this punk and new wave on it

and it's really like turn of 1980. So that is my choice for 1980s. Have you guys all chosen? Have you guys all chosen 80s? Has everyone chosen 80s? So yeah. You still have 80s? No.

No, I have 70s left. Purple Rain. I think none of us chose Pretty and Pink. That's really good. That was my, that was why I was stuck between. Um.

You could have just chosen it. What? You could have just chosen it. No, I know, but I think, I think, uh, what I just chose is. You're not showing your flair.

I just genuinely enjoy that soundtrack better than the, I love the Pretty and Pink soundtrack, and it has those iconic moments, but like, as like, an interesting collection of music, I think Times Square is better. Also, play the Tim Curry character. Did you know that?

I have a question for concert film. Does the soundtrack have had to come out physically? I don't know what that. Well, like, do you mean, like, could I have watched a concert on YouTube and that those songs are like, like, what do you mean?

Like, did they have to have sold the soundtrack? Pick it, man. It's all good, Yassie. You can just pick it, yeah. I choose Madonna, truth or dare. They never sold that as a CD So I didn't know if that was that was okay

But it's a concert film, right? It's a concert film, it's so fucking sick I watched no one has been cooler or more beautiful Than Madonna was in 1991 in that movie It's astonishing And also it's so many good songs And it's the concert where she's the Gautier And like, ugh, it's amazing

Why don't they sell the soundtrack? I don't know Bizarre They sold their time The third are the one where Kevin Costner shows up backstage Yeah and she's like horrible haircut What did he say he was interesting?

He's neat. And she was like, go fuck yourself. I mean, she didn't say that, but that's why he made Horizon Part 1 in American saga. All this modernity. It's disgusting to me, Madonna. Do my eyebrows.

Best part. I don't know if I've ever seen Times Square. I was just thinking of it. But you haven't seen Times Square? It's not a good movie. It's fun. It's just like it's about these two girls who meet in like

a place where they're being assessed for their mental health, but one's like a street girl, like a street punk girl, and the other is like the daughter of a rich politician, and they run away together, and they connect with this like New York radio DJ played by Tim Curry, who like helps them start a band, and because he wants

to get back at the dad who's this like horrible politician who's like kind of like trying to shut down the coolness of Times Square. It's a fun movie. It's a lot going on. We need a Bubba Gump shrimp company in here. That's what we need. All right, great picks, Yossi.

Rob, you're up. Or does it go back to Sean? I'm up. Oh, you're up. It's confusing. Do you guys follow how this goes? You're in 21st century now. I have a 21st century pick.

I've obviously already taken a Tarantino film. So I'm not going to do that. I don't want to take a West Anderson movie. You've taken a West Anderson movie. I do. I'll take a movie soundtrack in honor of my co-host Amanda Dobbins, one of her favorite movies of all time. Marie Antoinette.

Yeah, it's a good one. Sophia Coppola's, maybe her best film, arguably, debatably. I think her best soundtrack. Some people might say Lost in Translation, I think this soundtrack

is the most interesting, the most exciting. It's the best, one of the best ideas in the movie. It's so good. Susie and the Banshees, bow,

wow, Gang of Four, The Strokes. So I'm, so my guy, Alan Siegel, wearing a vintage strokes T-shirt tonight.

Shout out Alan. So that's my 21st century pick, Marie Antoinette. Very good one. Good job, Sean. Finally, some female director representation. Am I right? All right. So it's me.

It's 90s. I'm going lost highway. Woo! In honor of. What is that? I almost watched this on the plane over here. I am very glad. I didn't do that.

The first thing I'll say is that I was not, I rewatched it. I was not aware. Bill Pullman plays a free jazz saxophonist, which is honestly a striking and unpleasant visual image as in any David Lynch film I've ever watched. That was a lot to deal with. So it starts with the perfect drug, right?

Like I was trying to think about being a teenager, you know, having, you know, you get the Crow soundtrack, right? Because it's got this Stone Temple Pilots, and you're introduced to 9-inch nails covering Joy Division to all this other industrial music. Like this idea of 90s movie soundtrack specifically as rabbit holes. You know, Pulp Fiction could work that way. And so the idea of buying Lost Highway for the perfect drug, it's got a smashing pumpkin

song on it, and then you're inundated with all this other shit that you can barely understand. But it's like, what I love about Tarantino soundtracks is it expands time, right? Like gangsters in the 90s are dancing to Chuck Berry. You know, they roll up to the plantation and Django Unchained to Rick Ross. You know, like this is the way that it expands time. And I feel like a David Lynch soundtrack expands like space. You don't understand where you are. There's all this music that you've never heard before.

Like just Angelo Badellamenti, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. But just obviously, I think a Twin Peaks first with him, but just the rabbit hole, the wormhole that it drops you into. Lou Reed singing this magic moments. Like Patricia Arquette gets like sort of a, like kind of the David Lynch version of Gwyneth Paltrow these days, Royal Tena bombs in that movie. I'm so glad I didn't watch that on the plane, man.

I almost did it. They would have thrown me off the plane. They would have given me a parachute, and that would have been it. And this is sort of the birth of Trent Reznor as, you know, the Oscar god that we know and love today, right? Like, David Bowie, like, David Bowie's,

I'm deranged, like, in his industrial era. Like, I was trying to think of the soundtrack that if you were just a 90s, alt-rock kid like I was, You liked one song and you bought an album for one song. What is the most fascinating and surreal and sort of baffling and life-changing universe that, like, one CD could give you? And it feels like Lost Highway was it for me. Wait, do you want to hear something crazy about I? That's a smashing punk.

That's a smashing punk. Okay. Just recently, William Corrigan put up a very confusing series of Instagram videos as, did you guys see this? Where he explains that that song was... So he wrote a song for Lost Highway, which was rejected by David Lynch personally. He was like, no, thank you. Go do something else. And he had written this song, like years prior, like, for a rapper as like a throwaway

just like, and it was Shaquille O'Neal was the rapper. It didn't end up getting used. So he went back to that song and that's what became I. Shaquille O'Neal. Oh, my God. That is as disturbing an image as any. piece of information. That was his like throwaway.

I'll give it to Shaquille O'Neill's rap album song and then it became I. One of the better matching pumpkin songs, TBQH. I had no idea. That's what I'm here for. Can I share... That's what they pay me the medium-sized bucks for?

A couple lost highway notes. Please. One features Chris's favorite Romstein song, Romstein. Oh God, I didn't mention Romstein. Five at least, yeah. There's a Romstein song. He said something really mean.

and cool and tough in German. Haust! Not that one, but it sounds to me like, I'm not Amish, and I hear it that way every time, including when I was watching the film last night. They're like, they're killing Marilyn Manson while Romstein is going, I'm not Amish. And it's like, this is the best movie ever made.

This is what, how Trent described his conversation with David Lynch about what he was looking for. He said, he'd describe a scene and say, here's what I want. Now, there's a police car. chasing Fred down the highway and I want you to picture this. There's a box, okay? And in this box, there's snakes coming out. Snakes whizzing past your face. So what I want is the sound of that. Actually, like, great direction. That's sick. Yeah. That's awesome. That's a good David Lynch also,

if that's indeed what that was. Yes. I wasn't even trying. Great pick, Robbs. Can't believe none of us pick the crow. It really just shows the 90s had so many good soundtracks that there's like five other ones that could have been just as phenomenal as the ones we picked. Yeah. Well, I guess George Midnight was definitely on that. We really outfought ourselves a little bit on that. Yeah, I think we overthought.

Big empty, man. Shit. I know. SDP. Fuck. The helmet. That fucking helmet. I love helmet. That's it for Rob. I have to pick my 70s movie. Yeah. I'm really stuck between stations

here. Three, two. on one hand that was in the 80s first of all not to split hairs so stunningly nobody picked Goodfellas for 90s so I'm going to pick

Mean Streets for 70s starts with Be My Baby is like the introduction to Scorsese's use of pop music and movies does it so well with the camera movement I know you don't care because you just want this to be a mix tape but it's amazing I don't know if you've noticed but I'm newly

a member of the film loving and watching community. I've had two celebrated appearances. Are you a Letterbox pro member? And yeah, just an incredible collection. A lot of Motown, a lot of classic rock. I was on the fence between this and Animal House

because Animal House has three goaded songs. Shout, Louis Louie, Star Spangled Banner. I'm gonna go with Mean Streets. I'm gonna go with Meadstreet. Would you mind humming the Star Spangled Banner for us from now.

Louie, Louie. Okay, so that's it. That's all right. That's all right. You guys, quickly, before we vote or whatever we're doing now, I have no idea. We're voting, yeah. We just wanted to mention

it on social media and the promotion of the show, but there are some little placards around that have information about music cares here who are doing some really incredible things to support specifically musicians and people in the music industry. who were affected by the wildfires, and if you have it in your means

to do a small donation, I think you can just scan a QR code. They're kind of littered around the place. So take a lookout for those. Do you guys want to recap your choices? Should we do some honorable mentions? I was going to say, can we do some honorable mentions?

Yeah. I have a lot of honorable mentions. High fidelity. I went back to high fidelity and low key. It's not that good. I'm so sorry. So sorry. You know what is good?

Gross point blank. Yes. Gross point blank was one of my faves. We somehow got out of this without Dazen confused. Isn't confused. Fear and loathing. Oh. Harold and Maud.

That's a really good one. The Crow. The Crow. Oh, poetic justice. Crossroads Britney Spears, honey. I. The Oliver Asayas movie, Carlos, has an incredible score. Saddle down.

But you know what also has a pretty good score or soundtrack? A complete unknown. So, so important. Dropped on in on this podcast. Sing you a little song. It's called Wimaway. Have you seen Stealing Beauty? Certainly.

Bertilucci? That was one of the most important soundtracks of my young life. It showed me who the cocktoe twins were. It had that amazing Mazzie Star song on it. It had Portis. head on it. It's important for me for the same reason, but it was because Rachel Weiss took her top off, I think. And Liv Tyler was really beautiful. I would also throw juice in the 90s.

Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters. The big chill. What did we? Quadrophina. Oh yeah, quadrata. You know what? Okay. The other Hume movie, which is not a movie movie movie. No, there was the kids are all right. Has better music.

Quadraffini has kind of the love. I know I'm just saying in the scope of soundtrack. What about Saturday Night Fever? Saturday Night Fever, if you like disco. Did you guys have any other concert films? Beyonce, homecoming. I did.

Oh, that's good. Rude... Taylor Swift, the Eras Tour? Oh, that's great. You're such an ally, such a male ally. I had Rude Boy, which I didn't know where it fit, because... Have you guys seen Rude Boy?

The Clash... It's like half concert film, half fiction film, but it is them playing concert a lot of it, but then also they had to go back and re-record the music, so it's not live because the sound was fucked up. So I was like, maybe it doesn't

fit into any of these categories, but that's a pretty good. It's the same. Yeah. Monterey Pop. Sign of the Times. Woodstock? Prince. Block party. Dave Chappelle's a great one. One said Almost

Famous. Waiting to exhale. I'm just looking at the Barcity Blues, the film. Yeah. Brown Sugar. Black Panther? Black Panther. Oh, Brother, where art, though? Nick and Nora's infinite playlist.

It's a good one. Inside Lou and Davis? Clueless? Yeah. Clueless was my second pick for 90s. I couldn't decide between Romeo and Joey and Clueless. Above the rim? White man can't jump.

Let's recap our picks. Let's recap. So, Sean, you go first. I'm not done. In 90s. I selected Pulp Fiction. In 70s, I selected Superfly. In concert film, I took Stop Making Sense.

In 1980s, I took Say Anything. And for the 21st century, I took Marie Antoinette. Very good, Sean. Okay, for the 70s, I much derided, made fun of, took Greece, a fantastic soundtrack. For the 90s, I took Romeo and Juliet, 2000s, Garden State. Concert film, Madonna, Truthordaire,

and 80s times the square. All right, I got 80s Purple Rain. I think Rob won. Thank you. Is Prince's family here? Every... Concert movie. I got Aretha Franklin

Amazing Grace. 2000s, Josie and the Pussy Cats. 70s, the Muppet movie. I think especially... In 90s, lost highway. In 90s, I took train spotting in concert film. I took the last waltz.

For 2000s and beyond, I took Royal Tenen bombs. 80s, I took Repo Man, 70s I took Mean Streets. I guess we can go through the gesture of deciding who won. I think Rob won, honestly. He's really the populist vote.

Congratulations, Yossi. It doesn't even count, but I'll take it. You know what, you guys? I respect you. Thank you. I know that you just gave this one to me, is even looking at it, I know it's not as good as theirs, but I'll take it. I think we're going to take some questions from the crowd. Is that right?

We have some folks walking around with microphones, so if you just raise your hand, they will try and spot you. Oh, we've got a wire mic, so you actually have to come up and face the music here, so to speak. No questions from the Prince of State, please. They're just going to shout soundtracks we forgot at us. Does anybody have any questions? Oh, it's a lot harder when you have to walk up to the mic, isn't it? It's tough.

You can't hide behind your anonymous accounts. It's not mandatory. Here we go. Somebody's coming up. Brave soul. I'm just curious what your thoughts are on soundtracks that really where the musicians are sort of specifically working with the film. Because one of my favorites, which is a very weird movie, is Spawn.

Oh, yes, of course. The soundtrack is like a bunch of, they forced a bunch of bands to work together. Judgment Night Part 2 is to call it around here. And the Dust Brothers, so I just were curious if there are others that I'm not thinking of that are like in that category where it's not just they took songs

where it's like they're really working to do something weird or unique with the movie and the filmmakers. Judgment is the only other one I can think of where it's like they did something specifically like Spawn. Yeah. The only other example of that I can think of

period is when Loud Records did the like rap rock combo album. Do you remember that? Where they had their like rap groups play with rock bands, but movies? I mean, it gets a little. Not the whole soundtrack, but Romeo and Juliet, like I pointed out,

they did have them write specific songs that, like, reference the story of Rumi and Juliet to go on the soundtrack. But, yeah, I guess past that. We used to be a proper country, and we're not anymore. They don't do that stuff anymore. The spawn soundtrack is the end of an era, I guess. What is what we have to? What would you say was, like, the first real, like,

soundtrack-y soundtrack where they were, like, we're putting all these cool songs on one. Did you do it? Easy Rider. Easy Rider, yes. I wanted to draft Easy Rider, but it was 69. Yeah. I think of American graffiti as kind of a watershed for older music rather than contemporary music. But yeah. I mean, it wasn't, the Ringer produced an entire documentary called Mr. Saturday Night about the Spengali who managed the BGs and used his relationship with the BGs to kind of forge all of these inroads in Hollywood.

And one of the things that he did was help produce Saturday Night Fever and created the mega soundtrack, the mega selling soundtrack by working with. his artists and getting them paid like five times over and him 100 times over by creating the synchronicity. I think it might have been the same time square. And you know Barry Gibb wrote Greece the titular track, Grease is the word is the one.

Aren't really not familiar with the grease on? Huge soundtracks anymore. Like the Barbie soundtrack or like Black Panther like they're few and far between. Like I saw the TV glow I think is the movie I've seen most recently. Like the claw machine scene in that movie is

the most struck I've been by a song and a movie, you know, that hadn't existed before as far as I knew. But it's just, the event soundtrack just does not happen. I don't know if that's like a streaming thing, like compilations, like grab bag compilations just aren't. We would buy those. Like I would listen to it over and

over and over again. That was like, it was like an album. I would put it on. We people don't do that anymore. Oh, hi. We have another question. We got another question. So it wasn't the exercise tonight, but maybe some underappreciated scores. I'll throw mine out. Tangerine Dream, three o'clock high. Absolutely. And Thief. Just stuff like that. What do you guys think?

I listen to Michael Dina's Moneyball score all the time. It's really good working music. It's mostly piano and it's like the same theme over and over again, but it is gorgeous. So that's an underrated one, the money ball soundtrack for score. I wonder the skin has like a really good score. I listen to that a lot.

By Mika Levy. Yeah, I like that one a lot. You and John Malkovich was a big one for me. It's always, I hated the movie, honestly, but dancer in the dark, Bjorks. I loved that one. If Beale Street could talk, I think, like, when that came out, that was like everyone's writing music,

I feel like, for a year, yeah. I have not seen challengers yet, but everybody talks about how amazing. What are you doing? I don't know. Raising children poorly, mostly. They'd love it. Take the family.

rated scores? I think, you know, Ennio Morricone died a couple of years ago and there's obviously five or six legendary scores that he worked on. But if you just listen to any Italian crime movie that he worked on between 1958 and 1967,

it's the coolest fucking thing you've ever heard, like danger diabolic or whatever and you'll just be mesmerized by how forward thinking and exciting all that music was. I don't know, it's almost hard to answer. There's so many. Wish? Was that Herbie?

Cancock primarily, I think. Maybe I'm making that. You know what's one that I think of all the time that I love is Daniel Hart's score for the old man in the gun, which is a David Lowry movie, very jazzy score. A fandom thread. That's a great score.

I would say not underrated. I would say properly rated. Sorry, we were we doing underrated? To me, all scores are underrated. Sorry, my apologies. I'll go now. Hi. Hey, popular soundtracks that you really don't like. Ooh.

Well, I have, like, scar tissue from working in record stores in the 90s and having to hear the Forest Gump soundtrack, like, on repeat. It was just always on. What's that? You're so good. It is good. It's good? I mean, yeah.

It's easy, though. You were, like, a certain age, and then that was how you got introduced to all this kind of classic rock. I hear you though, I hear you. Soundtracks that I hate. I don't think of anything that I hate. Like I'm trying to think of a film that I watched that. I was like, ugh, this song, this sucks.

You want me to shit on stuff? Yeah. For Gump? Whoa. Wow. Yo. No. Absolutely not.

I did and do love classic Disney soundtracks and I'm experiencing them all over again right now and it's freaking great so shut the hell up. Moana too has no bangers man my daughter agree my four year old daughter

likes get lost she likes the disco song and beyond fire they're both fire I've come around completely the first one is fire the second one is not fire like or is not fire to the same degree there's no there's no shiny on Mo want to, in my view. That's fair. That's fair. I agree.

It's the Ryan Gosling movie where he drives the car. Right. Yeah. Three men simultaneously say drive. Hold on. Are you coming out against the drive soundtrack? It's just not my thing. I didn't do it for me. What do you mean? It's not your thing. I don't like that kind of music. Driving? What are the? Kaminsky, Kiddinsky? What are they? I just not my thing.

Do you think that's bad? It's just not my thing. I didn't like. Everyone was like, oh my God. And I was like, okay, I guess. You feel like he misled Carrie Mulligan. Do you feel like he misled Carrie Mulligan about his true occupation? No, I don't have it. Honestly, the movie was kind of boring, but I... You remember Oscar Isaac's character's name in that movie?

Something outrageous. It's standard. Yeah. And he wants to open a restaurant, right? Isn't that why he's doing the crimes? Not like your favorite movie? No, but it's up there. Sorry, Chris.

Wow. You should ask him about heat. I like heat. Who's got a question? So I'm recently rewatching the leftovers, and I've rewatched International Assassin, and so I'm wondering what's the best song that's been karaokeed in film or TV,

that you guys like? That's good. I don't think of karaoke moments. What did they sing in Lost in translation? More than this? More than this? this, yeah. She does brass in pocket, yeah.

I don't know if you guys know, but I recently became a film producer, and that was because in the movie, skincare, the character sings a cure song just like heaven, which I helped clear. And I'm using this time to remind you that I'm a film producer,

but also that's one of the only times I can remember someone doing karaoke in a movie. Isn't there a Gwyneth Paltrow movie about karaoke? Yes, yeah. Yeah. Directed by her father. We didn't talk about what's the

Drew Barrymore singing movie, like heart and soul. Music and lyrics. That's a great, yes, Adam Slash and Gerex. That was a great soundtrack. Many are good original songs. That thing you do never came up.

I guess that's a little weird. Okay, but Loki was just the one song. One song. You know? What name? Can you think of another song in that thing you do? No. That's why I didn't come up.

No, Neters. It's a tough one. No. It was a good song, though. What did you say on today's episode of 60 songs, Hinder? Did you mean that? Okay. Was it a joke or were you being serious?

No, I was subcontinent. It's Hinder. H-I-N-D-E-R is the band. I have like seven people on Twitter telling me this. I pronounced it the way that it sounds like more but, like Hinder is like, that's the why I pronounce it. That was just like you were doing like a galaxy brain thing. I didn't get it.

That's exactly what I was doing. Yes, it was very well thought out. did think it was pronounced like that? I mispronounced the name of the band, H-I-N-D-R. But you did it on purpose? Yes. People on Twitter corrected you? As far as you know, yes.

Should we let this nice man ask his question? Another question. Any favorite or like standout music video crossovers like Kulio's Gangsta Paradise or like Prince's Bat Dance? I like the Teenage Fan Club and De La Lowe. Soul music video because they're in it together and it's very cute seeing a teenage fan of Mandela Solic interacting. They're also in a classroom, I believe. What did they talk about? I must know. Yeah. I mean, this appears in the Yacht Rock documentary, but obviously Billy Crystal and Gregory

Heinz and the Michael McDonald's song at the end of that film. It was a good one. That was a member, that happened all the time. I was like, why is this movie? star standing next to Axel Rose in this video. But it was like, oh, it's a tie-in. So this is what we do. We really, we have lost something. I mean my brain cells. I don't, yeah. Hi.

So can you think of a movie where the soundtrack is so bad that it makes you dislike the movie? He's wearing a Mets sweatshirt and a Mets hat. Are you going to acknowledge that? Let's go Mets. Back to Mawanna too. Just kidding. The movie was also bad.

Yeah, it's a soundtrack so bad. that it reflects poorly on the movie. You actually would have to think like the music was used in the movie so poorly that it made you like dislike the movie. Thinking of the American Pie soundtrack for some reason. What's on that? A punk, right?

Is that you wanted more, more than I could handle? The tonic song? You're doing Michael McDonald right now. That's really good. That's my 90s man singing voice. It's just sort of pan. Can you do a little more of that, please?

It's really good. Apparently, Edda James' At Last was on the American Pie soundtrack. They had a budget. And also, it's been one week's. Maybe that's. You shouldn't be allowed to have those two songs on the same soundtrack. Chicken, a Chinese, a Chinese chicken. That's it.

Favorite lyrics in a really good song. Thank you. We have another question. Yeah, so are there any, like, soundtracks that make you try to act like a movie's good? like I love the Batman Forever soundtrack and the movie's terrible. Oh, that was it going. Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me.

Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. Kiss from a rose, man. Yeah, that's... I mean, is Judgment Night a good movie? Let's be really honest. Not a good movie. Great soundtrack. I'll say...

When I saw the trailer for Rushmore with the creation song, I was like, this is probably going to be the greatest movie ever fucking made. And it is like the eighth greatest movie ever made, but just that one song, like it had, like that is, obviously the point of this whole conversation is the way that music transforms your emotional relationship when you're watching a movie. And all of the people who were the best at picking songs for these movies were able to transfer something to you about their taste that is so powerful. So like, I don't, I have a hard time like appreciating bad movies, honestly. But, um, um, But there's something about taking a very good movie to an elevated state because of the songs that are added to it. That is probably worth of knowledge. Like when they put How to Save a Life in Grays Anatomy.

That's really elevated the form. It's a proven perfection right there. Absolutely. Or spawn. I thought it spawn immediately. A fabulous film. Next question. Oh.

Look at a Chinese. Chinese chicken. It's looking at me and I don't like it at all. You have a podcast that's like about song. That is true. For you, would it be They Might Be Giants? That's correct.

It would be Particle Man by They Might Be Giants. Is he a dot or is he a speck? When he's underwater, does he get wet? Or does the water get him instead? Nobody knows. Particle Man. Directed by David Lynch.

From the grave. What is your answer to this question? I don't know. This is such a hard one. one. By nine inch nails. The Johnny Cash version. Like, what is the movie about?

Is it burning down the house? If it's now, if the movie comes out now. Yeah. Out of the ashes, the Yossi Salick story. Phoenix. Like a Phoenix. Starring Yossi Salic. Never made it as a wise man.

Cooting, couldn't. That'd be a great job. Because you often talk about this song, Spoon Man, by Sal Garden. That would be yours. Because of how into spoons I am. I just think spoons are really cool. I'd never forget seeing Chris Cornell

talking about introducing Spoon Man 120 minutes and he was so earnest. And God rest his soul, he's a genius. But he was just like, I just saw this guy on the street, he's just playing the spoons. I was like, it's a great idea for a song. Spoon Man. Boom.

I was like, what the fuck? Is that how you write songs? I was 12. I couldn't believe he did that. It literally is how you write songs. He totally is. What about you, Chris? What's the audio slave song from Collateral?

It's called Meathead Idiot, I think, is the name of the song. Meathead Idiot. Where's this is that Ramstein song? I don't know. It's such a hard question. It would be cool if it was like some Zeppelin or Stone song because then I know that the movie would be like pretty big, you know, because they would have to spend a lot of money on the soundtrack.

That's pretty fucking cool. We'll imagine like Scorsese. Like we got to get the CR story right. So let's get it. Jumping Jack Flash. That's it. I would have to do a whole song probably. A whole song?

Which one? I don't know. Maybe Miss World. Miss World. That's good. That's right. Yeah. And that would be a good name for the movie.

Yeah, right? My other one would be this is random American Girl. Your Best American Girl? Is it called Your Best American Girl by Mitzki? Yeah. That's good. the best and maybe only song about the immigrant daughter experience. We got time for one more question.

Thank you. Very quick shout at to Yassi for clarifying some Irish border things as an Irish man. I appreciate it. A real Irish man is here, you guys. The Fontaine's DC clarification on the latest. Well, I was shamed by the Reddit community who told me I was racist. I really appreciated. I educated myself about the difference between Northern Ireland.

and regular Ireland. That's how they refer to it. You say regular islands? And other, and Ireland, alternatively normal Ireland. He's like, I take it back. I'll conduct a seminar

outside and lobby later. My question is actually out of movies that have musicians, maybe in a breakout role, is there any that are a favorite, that are a favorite, so thinking like 8 Miles, stars born. Yeah, that's a great question.

Anything in that realm, or Purple Rain, of course. Great question. The first thought was once. Such a good movie. Glenn Hansard and Marquita Irglova, I think. That's a great movie.

That's good. That's right. Glenn Hansard? Yeah. I guess you could, this complete unknown would work for this. Apparently, Timothy Shalomeh is Jack White and James Blake now, so.

Did you get like paid by searchlight? It's like the eighth time you brought up a complete unknown. I wanted to mention something that was more recent. Yeah. Ooh, of course. Of course. What about key cap? Great shout. Me cap is good. Yeah.

Lady sings a blues, Diana Ross, right? You're a classicist. I like it. I don't know, man. This is a hard one. Spoon man? In the movie Spoon Man. Well, obviously it's Eddie Vedder's turn as the drummer and Citizen Dick in singles. What does he say? It's like, when you succeed, we succeed.

A win for you is a win for us. Who else has been? Courtney Love's been in many films. She's done a great job. Sit and Nancy. I think it's a great place to end on Sid and Nancy. Thank you so much for coming tonight. Thank you so much.
