Episode 40: Dispatches from Cartoon Planet

The OST Party ·

2020/08/20

This week we're taking a break from Hellworld 2020 and returning to the comedy albums of our youth. 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

Episode 39: Dick Tracy

The OST Party ·

2020/08/07

Calling 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

Episode 38: The Lost Boys

The OST Party ·

2020/07/23

In 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

Episode 37: Flashdance

The OST Party ·

2020/07/02

It'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

Episode 36: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

The OST Party ·

2020/06/11

Welcome back, our most excellent friends! If you're like us, you're desperate for words of wisdom and comfort in these trying times. 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

Episode 35: Homestar Runner

The OST Party ·

2020/05/21

This 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

Episode 34: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

The OST Party ·

2020/05/07

We 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

Episode 33: There's Something About Mary

The OST Party ·

2020/04/16

This 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

Episode 32: Romy & Michele's High School Reunion

The OST Party ·

2020/04/03

Tis 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

Episode 31: Mortal Kombat

The OST Party ·

2020/03/26

This 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

Episode 30: 90s Soundtrack Covers

The OST Party ·

2020/03/12

And we're back! On this episode, we bring you a collection of cover songs featured in 90s movie soundtracks! 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

Episode 29: Nine 1/2 Weeks

The OST Party ·

2020/02/13

Valentine'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

Episode 28: Dumb and Dumber

The OST Party ·

2020/01/23

Saddle 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

Episode 27: UHF

The OST Party ·

2020/01/10

Happy 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

Episode 26: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

2019/12/23

Happy holidays, gang! This week we're getting into the Christmas spirit with one of the most beloved 90s Christmas classics. 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

Episode 25: Actors Rocking Badly

The OST Party ·

2019/12/12

On this edition of our On The 5's series, Libby takes us into the dark underbelly of fame, where actors decide it's time to strap on the guitar and play rock star for an album or two. 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? Look, no one ever said the job would be easy, but we torture ourselves so you don't have to. Which is a lie,

Episode 24: Road House

The OST Party ·

2019/11/28

Happy Thanksgiving, party pals! This week we're giving thanks for all things ROAD HOUSE! Patrick Swayze is Dalton, the world's greatest cooler/bouncer/NYU philosophy major and he's here to clean up a seedy backwater bar and maybe the whole town too. 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

Episode 23: The Color of Money

The OST Party ·

2019/11/14

Martin 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

Episode 22: Forbidden Zone

The OST Party ·

2019/10/31

Happy 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

Episode 21: Shaun of the Dead

The OST Party ·

2019/10/17

It'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
