O Brother, Where Art Thou?

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/05/12

This episode is bona fide!Back in the year 2000, the soundtrack to the Coen Brothers' "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" took the world by storm. We're here to break down the influences and sources of The Soggy Bottom Boys' biggest hit, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow," along with every other song they perform in this movie. Those aren't really George Clooney's pipes you hear in the recording, but real-life singer Dan Tyminski is a man of constant praise in the bluegrass community. Did you know he had

Always Be My Maybe

2025/05/05

"The man who embraces his mediocre nothingness shines greater than any." - Keanu Reeves2019's "Always Be My Maybe" is a cute romantic comedy, but it's also a look at an alternate version of Randall Park as a chill San Francisco rapper. We'll talk about the real influences on Hello Peril, the group at the center of this movie, as well as some other Bay Area artists that we believe fed into the vibe. Plus, a bit on the heavy-hitters like Dan the Automator and Lyrics Born who lent real-life

Top Secret!

This week, we get to know a little German!The late, great Val Kilmer will be remembered for many things - from “Top Gun” to “Batman Forever” to his kooky but oh-so-charming real-life persona. But this week, we’re going back to Val’s very first feature film, 1984’s “Top Secret!” Kilmer plays an American rock star on a trip through a strange, stuck-in-time version of East Germany. We’ll look at real-life inspirations from The Beach Boys, Elvis, Chuck Berry, and more. Plus, we explore some real

Idlewild

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/04/21

What's wild is how idle the critics were on this movie!We're talking 2006's "Idlewild" this week. It's part musical, part period drama, and glued together with trippy music video style sequences - and it just so happens to be the capstone to Outkast's catalog (so far?). Lot's to unpack in this one - "Idlewild" is not only a film, but also an album featuring so many great tracks that we decided to talk about some of them anyway - fictional artist or not! We also do some album-vs-film comparisons

Dreamgirls

2025/04/14

What ever happened to Beyonce?This week we're talking "Dreamgirls," the 2006 film adaptation of the 1981 stage musical. Lots of musical comparisons between the movie and the broadway version, along with, of course, all the ways this film relates to "Sparkle" – another film inspired by the story of the Supremes – that we covered earlier on KFLX. From the oft-praised Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce belters to the less-reviewed Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx tunes, we're hitting all the goodies from this

2025/04/07

Little Joe sure can sing!In 1998, Joe Pesci released an album. "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You" was neither his first nor his last record, but it is the only one to feature songs performed as his "My Cousin Vinny" title character. We cover that and much from from Pesci's storied musical career. Dustin takes us on a long journey to meet up with a little bit of KFLX history, and Shawn takes a crack at finding the origin of the most recognizable blues riff of all time. 🌐

We're talking about The Wonders, of course, but the Playtone roster runs deep with 60s nostalgia! This one features several real-liife songwriters we've talked about before, and we have a couple surprising tangents as well. We also get a call from the real Guy Patterson – sort of.

Sing Street

Rock and roll is a risk.This week, we take on 2016's "Sing Street," director John Carney's follow-up to a film we talked about in our third episode, "Begin Again." This one is full of fun musical comparisons - many of them right from the movie itself, which follows a group of young Dubliners who set out to risk it all for rock and roll with a string of songs inspired by MTV hits of the 80s. 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com 📺

The Idea of You

Can you blame folks if they think this singer bears more than a passing resemblance to Harry Styles? Just like in the lost KFLX pilot, we're talking about boy bands this week, but not the ones Dustin and Shawn grew up with...One Direction and Westlife are the inspirations this week. 2024's "The Idea of You" is a steamy (if a little oddball) romance flick with a fictional British pop singer at its center. Nicholas Galatzine brings his own pipes to the performance as Hayes Campbell, the breakout

The Blue Jean Committee from "Documentary Now!"

Let's get swept away by the Catalina Breeze! We're taking a swim in the chill waters of the Documentary Now's two-parter, "Gentle and Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee," starring Fred Armisen and Bill Hader. What may have started as a simple mockumentary based on 2013's "The History of the Eagles" came out as a hilarious and accurate survey of the various "soft-rock" sounds of the 1970s, and we're calling out all the connections we heard. Plus, we get into the band's true origin on

Cult classics, dirty rap songs, and a special guest this week!It’s our third mix tape and honestly there’s almost too much in here for one episode! We’re covering Apple TV’s series “The Afterparty” and the eerily similar 2024 film “The Reunion” as well as the rhymes of Alpa Chino from Ben Stiller’s classic action-comedy “Tropic Thunder” this week, along with some 80s goodness courtesy of “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” and some faux-80s goodness from “Garth Merenghi’s
