2026/01/12

New year, new list!It's been another whole year of KFLX, so the guys are counting down their top songs of 2025! Lots of great movies and songs were released last year, but technically the guys can choose from any music that was *new to them* during the process of recording last year, which may lead to some fun surprises.

Get Crazy

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/12/29

It's a New Years movie!"Get Crazy" is a wild and spoofy film that we had never heard of, but it's the perfect way to end the year. This is awesome 80s goodness featuring a young Daniel Stern as he tries to put together a concert to save the Saturn Theatre. It features acts such as Reggie Wanker – a smug British solo rocker, Captain Cloud – leader of a hippie collective, King Blues – writer of many famous Blues tunes, Nada – a new wave/glam rock act, and Auden – a singer/songwriter who looks

Love Actually

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/12/15

At Christmas, you tell the truth...And the truth is, we're covering "Love Actually" this week in the first episode of the holiday season. This movie of intertwined character pieces is full of dated takes on dating in the early-2000s UK, but we're going to zero in on one very important cover song that ties all the stories together: Billy Mack’s gloriously cynical Christmas cover of The Troggs’ “Love Is All Around.” We’ll unwrap several other versions of the song as well as take a listen to Bill

Rock Star

2025/12/01

What happens when a superfan gets called up to sing for their favorite heavy metal band?A kinda...kinda weird movie happens. Mark Wahlberg is the titular "Rock Star" in this 2001 film that was largely overshadowed by a national tragedy. We're digging into Marky Mark, as well as a number of real-life voices behind the singing in this movie, which is sort of based on a true story. And yeah, we have another one of those near-misses when trying to suss out the inspiration for one of the tunes. Can you

Almost Famous

This episode is more fun than an emotionally charged summer road trip with a famous band in the 1970s!We're doing Cameron Crowe again this week, this time with the 2000 film "Almost Famous" and the band at the heart of it - Stillwater! We'll cover all the nods to other 70s rockers – intended or not – plus get some behind-the-scenes info on how these songs came together with the help of Peter Frampton, and Nancy Wilson from Heart. Also, as with our last Crowe flick, there is a grunge element. Plus,

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/11/03

It’s still Halloween in our hearts! Enjoy this classic from last year and we’ll be back soon with new episodes! This week we explore the depths of hair metal horror with the "Trick or Treat" from 1986. This classic from the Satanic Panic era has everything: A slasher villain with a set of pipes, Gene Simmons putting on his acting boots, and lots of weaponized electricity. We also help Shawn's friend Lard Humungus get to the bottom of his demon problem. And yep, this one has a quiz. 🌐

Halloween Mix Tape

Spooky season continues!Shawn and Dustin have brewed up the perfect mixtape for your Halloween party! We're running through a monster mash of fictional artists, starting with some greasy, shirtless sax appeal from "The Lost Boys" (1987). Then, we're attending Tracy Jordan's spooky, scary "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" from "30 Rock." After that, we'll see what happens when indie rockers Low Shoulder from "Jennifer's Body" (2009) make a deal with the devil. We'll then head to the Titty Twister to catch a

Hard Rock Zombies (with Erik Hoffstad)

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/10/20

Ya'll wanna resurrect a dead body? The last time we had Erik in the studio he suggested “Hard Rock Zombies” for a future episode of KFLX. Welcome to the future, baby! This 1985 gem was originally conceived as a short film, but the creators just had too much to say so it became the full-length extravaganza of half-finished plots, stop-motion asides, and surprisingly palatable rock music that we’re discussing today. There’s dodgy dialogue all over this movie, and at least one beyond-questionable

Eddie and the Cruisers

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/10/13

It was a box-office flop that got a second-wind on cable TV because the music is just that good!1984's "Eddie and the Cruisers" is one of those movies so revered for its fictional music that it's honestly a little crazy that we're just now getting to it. And this is a double-feature, because we're covering "Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!" as well! Packed full of songs that could top the real world charts (including some that actually did!), we had a lot of fun breaking down the tunes

Singles (with guest Jacob Givens)

2025/10/06

Y'all like grunge?Then have we got THE show for you this week! Let's take a trip back to the dawn of the Seattle sound. Cameron Crowe's "Singles" is absolutely stacked with grunge goodness. Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament & Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam, along with Matt Dillon, make up the fictional band Citizen Dick. Chris Cornell also makes a cameo - and it turns out some of Soundgarden's biggest songs were inspired by a prop on the set of this very movie. PLUS: Our pal Jacob Givens (from the

Lemonade Mouth

Hey isn’t that Shooter McGavin? We’re entering uncharted waters this week with our first Disney Channel Original. 2011’s “Lemonade Mouth” is the story of an impromptu band formed during high school detention and their path to…rather wild success. And along the way they totally pull a Stomp, twice! 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com 📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll 📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/ 📧

Freaky Tales

2025/09/22

Rise above, we're gonna rise above!2025's "Freaky Tales" is a series of ficitonalized and darkly comedic stories set in Oakland in 1987, and it's full of music! Danger Zone is the hip hop duo of Entice and Barbie that goes toe to toe against Too $hort in a rap battle. While based on a real act, the version of Danger Zone in this movie is its own thing. We also get into some of the Bay Area punk rock scene with the film's portrayal of Operation Ivy and more. 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com 📺

In "The End Continues," we finally get to catch up with David, Nigel, and Derek some 40 years down the road.

This episode goes to eleven!It only took us 55 episodes to reach the most famous fictional band of all time. With the long-awaited sequel hitting theaters this weekend, we thought it was high time that we talk about the mother of all parody films, “This Is Spinal Tap.” We’ve got stories from the set and our usual detective work on what might have inspired songs like “Big Bottoms,” “Stonehenge,” and "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight." But wait, there’s more! We’ll be back next Monday, joined by

We're covering HUNTR/X and The Saja Boys, the two groups at the center of "KPop Demon Hunters," as well as talking about many of the voices and artists that came together to make these songs. PLUS: We call our pal Matt Wicks to get some details and deeper perspective on the K-Pop industry and the trends that led to this being such a huge film worldwide. 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com 📺

School of Rock

198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio ·

2025/08/25

Summer is coming to an end and we’re headed back to school!“School of Rock” is a film that hardly needs an introduction – it’s a wholesome story of a hard rock burnout played by Jack Black who impersonates his way into a substitute teaching gig and ends up teaching his students how to rock out, with some life lessons for both the students and teacher along the way. But you already know all of that! We’ll be discussing the inspiration for the film, the writers of the tunes, and talking about the

A Star is Born

We're back and it's a quadruple feature! You might know this one best as the 2018 film starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper (who also directed), but "A Star is Born" has been born again and again since its first incarnation in 1937. Janet Gaynor originated the role of Esther Blodgett and, in 1954, Judy Garland made it the singing role we've come to know. We cover some of our favorites from Judy's version before moving on to the darker, edgier, sultrier 1976 film starring Barbra Streisand as the

We're taking on the 1984 dystopian fantasy "Streets of Fire," featuring a string of bangers from 80s songwriting powerhouses, a killer score that wasn't even written for this film, and so much more.
