Episode 20: 80s Misfits & More

The OST Party ·

2019/10/03

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

Episode 19: The Mask

The OST Party ·

2019/09/19

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

Episode 18: Streets of Fire

The OST Party ·

2019/08/30

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

Episode 17: Super Mario Bros.

The OST Party ·

2019/08/09

This week on The O/S/T Party, we're jumping through a portal into another dimension to walk some dinosaurs and discuss the soundtrack to 1993's SUPER MARIO BROS! It's a film that pushes viewers to the breakpoint and offers so much off-the-wall creativity, it's almost unreal. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, an Englishman and a Colombian, play Italian brothers chasing a kidnapped princess into a dimension where an industrialist dinosaur-man played by Dennis Hopper rules his city with an iron fist.

Episode 16: My Fellow Americans

The OST Party ·

2019/07/18

On this week's episode, we want to share with our fellow Americans (and international friends) one of our favorite forgotten 90s comedies: My Fellow Americans! Two ex-presidents (Jack Lemmon and James Garner) go on the lam after a government cover-up leads to their attempted assassination, and the only way to save their skins is by taking a road trip to Ohio! That's right, it's another one of those movies. As for the soundtrack, we've got an eclectic mix of jazz oldies from Louis Armstrong and Ella

Episode 15: Will Smith Raps the Movies

The OST Party ·

2019/07/04

Once upon a time, Will Smith was the reigning king of the 4th of July movie weekend. And to accompany these huge blockbusters, Smith brought us some of the all-time great movie raps! This week we're taking you through his entire history, from New Line Cinema attempting to squash "A Nightmare on My Street" to Smith's late-90s heyday with Men in Black and Wild Wild West, and all the way to the present with this summer's Aladdin! We've got a lot of ground to cover, so come join the party and let's get

Episode 14: Beavis and Butt-Head Do America

The OST Party ·

2019/06/20

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

Episode 13: The Wedding Singer

The OST Party ·

2019/06/07

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

Episode 12: Godzilla '98

The OST Party ·

2019/05/23

This week's episode is all about 1998's Godzilla, the summer blockbuster that proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that size doesn't actually matter. You would be hard pressed to find a movie soundtrack more 1998 than Godzilla: The Album. Featuring the likes of The Wallflowers, Jamiroquai, and Ben Folds Five, the soundtrack to Roland Emmerich's epic disaster is chock full of radio-friendly 90s rock, and also the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy shouting over a cover of Led Zeppelin's

Episode 11: Earth Girls Are Easy

The OST Party ·

2019/05/09

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

Episode 10: 007 Countdown

The OST Party ·

2019/04/19

To celebrate our tenth episode, we're counting down our top ten James Bond theme songs. For as many cliches and signatures as the James Bond series has invented and perfected over the years, one that everyone can get behind is its classic theme songs. Sometimes brassy and orchestral, other times painfully pop-oriented, there really is a James Bond theme for every taste. We're covering everything from Dr. No to Spectre and all points in between. With over 50 years of history and 20+ songs to choose

Episode 9: Repo Man

The OST Party ·

2019/04/04

We're gonna have an O/S/T Party tonight, alright? Alright! This week, we are joined by Niel Jacoby, cohost of the podcast Spall Talk, to discuss the soundtrack to Alex Cox's 1984 punk rock sci-fi opus REPO MAN! Repo Man is a deeply strange film about punks repossessing cars, government conspiracies, alien life forms, and the soul-crushing nihilism of Reagan-era Los Angeles. On top of that, it's a film that wears its punk rock influence on its sleeve. With a theme song by Iggy Pop, and featuring 80s

Episode 8: Top Gun

The OST Party ·

2019/03/21

On this episode, we take to the skies to discuss the smash hit soundtrack to the most 80s movie ever made: TOP GUN! This soundtrack is full of hard-rockin', synth-wavin', oldie-croonin' radio cheese, so it's no wonder people bought it nine million times. Half the soundtrack barely even registers on this episode, because we're trapped in the thrall of Kenny Loggins, Giorgio Moroder, and Val Kilmer's perfectly chiseled everything. Also we dig deep into the film's thinly-veiled subtext, and try to

Episode 7: Tommy Boy

The OST Party ·

2019/03/08

Holy Schnikes! Are you sick of the mid-90s yet or what? This week on The O/S/T Party, we're hitting the road and jamming out to the soundtrack of 1995's TOMMY BOY! Our hosts agree that this is one of the great comedies of our time, and the soundtrack is secretly just as good. On top of some choice needledrops from REM and Dexy's Midnight Runners, we've got The Replacements' Paul Westerberg, a pre-City of Angels Goo Goo Dolls covering The Damned, Seven Day Diary, and a whole lot more! So break out

Episode 6: The Crow

The OST Party ·

2019/02/21

Devil's Night may not be until October, but that's no reason not to FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! On this episode of The O/S/T Party, we discuss THE CROW, the 1994 dark comic fantasy that served as Brandon Lee's tragic swansong, and launched the goth phase for a million terrible 90s kids. This soundtrack was one of the surprise hits of the mid-90s, mostly remembered now for Nine Inch Nails covering Joy Division, a pretty decent soundtrack cut from The Cure, and another appearance from our pals

Episode 5: Smash Mouth vs Tom Waits - Fistfight in Hell!

The OST Party ·

2019/02/07

Between 1999 and 2001, Smash Mouth's "All Star" was a truly inescapable earworm, making appearances in no less than FIVE FEATURE FILMS! This week's O/S/T Party is dedicated to exploring this dark period in music history. But fret not, because for every villain there must be a hero. A savior waits in the wings to deliver us from Mr. Mouth and his gang of bowling shirts. That hero is none other than Tom Waits, whose story is intertwined with Smash Mouth for better or for worse! More to the point, yes,

Episode 4: Cool World

The OST Party ·

2019/01/24

Alright you 'noids, brace yourselves because this week we're diving into a world full of early-90s EDM, horny cel animation and acid-washed cartoon freakouts. That's right, on this episode we're talking about COOL WORLD, Ralph Bakshi's 1992 Roger Rabbit-inspired fever dream starring Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger and Gabriel Byrne. This is an album loaded with '80s dance holdovers, early-90s mainstays and the odd industrial track, because that's just how we rolled in 1992. Find out what makes this album

Episode 3: Back to the Future

2019/01/10

Grab your hoverboards and count up your jigowatts, because it's time to go back! To the future, that is! This week, Joe and Libby discuss the entire Back to the Future trilogy and the music that made it iconic. Who is the narrator of "Back in Time"? How much "Power of Love" is too much? Are we seriously going to just let Eric Clapton reggae up this soundtrack? The answers to these questions, and more, are waiting inside!

Episode 2: Batman Forever

The OST Party ·

2018/12/20

Riddle me this, riddle me that, how many tunes were inspired by the Bat? This edition of The O/S/T Party finds Libby & Joe diving into the mid-90s superhero muck that is Batman Forever. It's a neon dayglo nightmare, and the soundtrack is no different, full of smooth R&B, college rock leftovers and one or two of the best songs of the 90s. Not only did this album spawn SIX. RADIO. SINGLES. ("Kiss From a Rose", anyone?) It also sold millions of copies, would be nominated for, win AND lose Grammy

Welcome to the very first episode of The O/S/T Party! This is a podcast where movie fans and music fans get together to have a rockin' good time! Join hosts Libby Cudmore and Joseph Wade as we break down your favorite movie soundtracks song by song. Do the songs have a special significance to characters in the movie? Does the soundtrack hang together as an album? Is this just another shameless cash grab? These are the sorts of questions The O/S/T Party will set out to answer! On our very first
