Episode 98: Fast Times at Ridgemont High

The OST Party ·

2025/08/22

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

Episode 97: With Honors

The OST Party ·

2025/05/22

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

Episode 96: RAD

The OST Party ·

2025/03/20

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

Episode 95: 1995 Soundtrack Misfits

The OST Party ·

2024/05/23

We're back! For our 95th episode, we bring you a collection of soundtrack cuts from 1995. It was the height of the 90s, when 80s pop stars showed up in the most random movies, fledgling rock bands popped up on teen cult classics, and also Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh Eagles teamed up with Lita Ford to do the theme song for a RoboCop TV series. 1995 was definitely a mood...Also appearing in this episode: Tom Jones covering Lenny Kravitz for the Jerky Boys movie, The Proclaimers covering The Everly

Episode 94: Airheads

The OST Party ·

2024/03/04

Hello all you OST Party fans out there in radioland! Are you ready to rock?! On this episode we're looking at the 1994 comedy AIRHEADS! Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi and OST Party fave Brendan Fraser are The Lone Rangers, a down and out LA rock trio. In a last ditch effort to land a record deal, they take a radio station hostage and demand to have their music heard. The movie may be a grim foreshadowing of FM rock radio's future, but the movie's a hell of a lot of fun. And the soundtrack is pretty

Episode 93: FM

The OST Party ·

2024/01/19

We're ringing in the new year with a film we've been wanting to cover for a long time. It's the 1978 cult film FM, about a Los Angeles radio station fighting back against The Man with some of the coolest rock jams of the 70s.Or at least, that's what the movie is supposed to be about. Mostly it's an excuse for Martin Mull to ham things up while they shoot a Linda Ronstadt concert. And maybe we'll get celebrity cameos from Tom Petty and REO Speedwagon along the way. It's barely a movie, and not even

Episode 92: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The OST Party ·

2023/11/08

We may have missed Halloween, but so what? On this episode we take you back to sunny Los Angeles for a look at the soundtrack to 1992's Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the feature film blueprint for one of the most iconic TV series of the 90s. This soundtrack is pretty typical of what you'd find on a movie soundtrack in 1992. You've got the requisite covers from artists like Divinyls and Mary's Danish, the sensitive guy rock from Matthew Sweet and Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Cult and Ozzy Osbourne giving

Episode 91: Back to School

The OST Party ·

2023/09/15

The fall semester is in full swing, so what better time to revisit the 1986 comedy classic Back to School! Rodney Dangerfield is here to give higher learning a lesson in the real world, and he's bringing Oingo Boingo with him! That's right, OST Party mainstays Oingo Boingo are back for another college comedy. (Man, we just can't let Teen Wolf Too go, huh?) Also on this soundtrack we get a title track from Jude Cole, the requisite Aretha Franklin gag, and a hair metal jam from none other than Michael

Episode 90: Remembering Pee-wee Herman

The OST Party ·

2023/08/18

This week we mourn the passing of the incomparable Paul Reubens. His most famous creation, Pee-wee Herman, taught kids of all stripes that there's beauty in the weird and kitschy parts of the world, and that just because we grow up doesn't mean we have to stop being silly. And throughout his career, Reubens incorporated lots of music into the Pee-wee persona. So on this episode we'll take you through the musical history of Pee-wee Herman. We'll start with his 1981 stage show, dig into his three

Episode 89: Coneheads

The OST Party ·

2023/07/21

Greetings bluntskulls! On this episode we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Coneheads! Wayne's World proved there was a market for SNL comedies in the 90s, so naturally here's a movie based on the Coneheads, space aliens from the planet Remulak just trying to fit in among regular humans. It's basically an excuse for Dan Aykroyd to be a big weirdo for 90 minutes. And the soundtrack is equally weird. We've got a handful of really great, classic tracks (including an inexplicable hit single from the Red

Episode 88: The X-Files: Fight The Future

The OST Party ·

2023/06/29

It's been 25 years since The X-Files jumped to the big screen! The first of two features based on the show, Fight The Future is The X-Files as a big-budget summer blockbuster. There's alien conspiracies, explosions, races through cornfields, killer bees for some reason... There's a lot to unpack with this film. And naturally, it came with a pretty stellar soundtrack. The usual suspects of mid-90s rock are all here, including Foo Fighters, Tonic, Better Than Ezra, Ween, and more! We even get a couple

Episode 87: Tank Girl

2023/05/25

On this episode we go back to the 90s, an era when studios had no problem grabbing any old comic book and turning it into the craziest movie you've ever seen. Case in point: Tank Girl! In a future wasteland where water is worth more than gold, Lori Petty teams up with Naomi Watts to steal a tank, befriend some kangaroo people, and save the world from a robot-armed Malcolm McDowell. And along the way we get a Cole Porter song, a movie rap courtesy of co-star Ice-T, and all kinds of tunes from some

Get ready to wheez the juice, cuz this week we're talking all things ENCINO MAN! The film that brought us not only Pauly Shore, but also newly crowned Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser! High school buds Shore and Sean Astin dig up and thaw out caveman Fraser, and proceed to teach him how to be cool in early 90s southern California! And to accompany this ridiculous plot, we get an eclectic mix of 90s alt rock, classic rock, dance pop, hip hop and more! So grab some grindage and let's jam! SHOW

Episode 85: Here’s Some Money, Go See a Star War

The OST Party ·

2023/03/09

When we're not hollering about movie soundtracks, our second favorite hobby is hollering about Star Wars. So on this episode we bring you a Special Edition of our On The Fives where we take a look at ten songs about or inspired by Star Wars. But there's a twist! With each song, we take turns pitching our own ideas for Star Wars movies based on those songs. And we've got some real bangers here. There are the Weird Al songs, naturally, but we also have tracks from The Hold Steady, Tenacious D, Blink

Episode 84: Blast from the Past

The OST Party ·

2023/02/02

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

On this episode we’re wrapping up 2022! Join us as we take a look back at our podcasting year and revisit some of our favorite tracks we’ve unearthed along the way. Joe and Libby each picked five songs that have stuck with them this year, for one reason or another. Some new favorites, some unkillable earworms, and some songs so deeply weird we’re still amazed they even exist. This episode runs the gamut of everything from the new jack swing of Ghostbusters II to the classic rock of Hot Fuzz, and a

Episode 82: Gremlins

2022/12/08

This podcast has been overrun by gremlins! We were supposed to do a Thanksgiving episode on Planes Trains & Automobiles, but the powers that be said, "No, you're doing Gremlins." Those powers may or may not be gremlins. (Send help!) Anyway, Gremlins has been described as It's A Wonderful Life by way of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and while that thematic well runs deep, the film is mostly concerned with lots and lots of puppet mayhem! The soundtrack album is short, but features some strange

Episode 81: Hot Fuzz

The OST Party ·

2022/11/18

We're returning to the world of Edgar Wright this week with the soundtrack to Hot Fuzz! Wright has a reputation for movie soundtracks that are impeccably curated, and Hot Fuzz is no different. The story of The Only Good Cop In England solving a string of murders in the small village of Sandford finds Wright leaning heavily on classic rock tunes from every era. The film is an absolute riot, but the soundtrack is equally impressive. Sporting tracks from classic acts The Kinks, The Troggs, and The
