    S2 E10 • Pulp Fiction (1994)
    Nov 7 2025
    “Zed's dead, baby. Zed’s dead.” In this, the SEASON TWO FINALE - the lads open the briefcase of cool and let that golden glow of 1990s swagger blind them, as they tackle the beast that is the Pulp Fiction soundtrack…aka the mixtape that made you quote from the bible. We’re talking surf rock, country, soul, and a dash of Samuel L. Jackson’s great vengeance and furious anger. From the utterly anthemic “Misirlou” shredding harder than Vincent Vega on a dance floor, to the tender strains of “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” making everyone feel both hopelessly romantic and deeply uncomfortable, this hand-picked soundtrack is a masterclass in making chaos sound classy. Also - expect a heated debate on whether “Flowers on the Wall” is a carefree flowerchild romp or a deeply depressive cry for help AND tips on how to survive an attack from boogie-woogie vampire, Jools Holland. It’s retro, it’s reckless, and it’s got more grooves than Tarantino’s favourite foot pics. 🕶️💥 BONUS CONTENT: Lemmings Paintball Pulp Fiction Spoof - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIG4EIsFAF0 Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks - https://youtu.be/HEMjF2n3-SQ Jan August - Misirlou - https://open.spotify.com/track/6TaEkHgzQ6gFqEvXZyZ0HI?si=674b8bfb781b4d1a Cartoon Network Pulp Fiction Parody (Featuring Shaggy & Droopy Dog) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36u-2Ge8vEE Spy Hard Pulp Fiction Parody - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Ozj5SXstE Neil Diamond - Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon - https://open.spotify.com/track/7J8qTx9CRh9tXRh74YmyOT?si=316c10ce81e94a10 The Champs - Tequila - https://open.spotify.com/track/5gJKsGij5oGt5H5RSFYXPa?si=a1cf20782d564a08

    S2 E9 • Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) with James Bennett
    Oct 23 2025
    “I’m the welcome wagon, it’s nice to meet’cha, friend!” Hadouken your ears! The lads are back (joined by good pal, and all-round Street Fighter connoisseur James “Jimmy” Bennett) and they’re all diving fist-first into the soundtrack for Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie — a 90s grunge-fest where Alice in Chains, Silverchair, Korn and KMFDM among others, battle for sonic supremacy. We’ll throw down on the heavy riffs, wild moods, and cultural chaos that made Street Fighter II more than just a game — it was a global phenomenon that turned arcade cabinets into arenas, and anime fans into headbangers. From Alice in Chains’ powerful “Them Bones” to Silverchair’s raw “Israel’s Son” and KMFDM’s industrial “Ultra,” this soundtrack hits harder than a Sonic Boom at full volume. The lads will also delve into their hazy early teen years, and uncover many a riveting anecdote, which may, or may not, include: Video-shop fountains, wet Mcdonalds bags….and Maplins! It’s nostalgia, noise, and nonsense — one big musical Combo Breaker! 💥 Bonus Content: Street Burger - Japanese McDonald’s Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrNj7JxZVc0&feature=youtu.be Pablo Cruise - Love Will FInd A Way https://open.spotify.com/track/2LqzuRukwnpeWYLXBtiwmq?si=ee367d9adefc46bb Shpongle - Dorset Perception https://open.spotify.com/track/5SBrBmHBMD1FjHZrWdabsK?si=ac63a2ea84a6400c Enya - Orinoco Flow https://open.spotify.com/track/4bQNusmmVudLxIiexglzh6?si=96a4dd2bfa994a64 John Davis and The Monster Orchestra - I Can’t Stop https://open.spotify.com/track/7uD4gSr8Dp01R3gwzO9XdW?si=7050b2724e2b4bef

  • S2 E8 • Lost In Translation (2003)

    S2 E8 • Lost In Translation (2003)
    Jun 12 2025
    ‘’LIP MY STOCKINGS!’’ In this episode, Dave and Tom dive into the hazy, dreamy world of Lost in Translation — the 2003 Sofia Coppola film where Bill Murray whispers things, Scarlett Johansson wears wigs and stares at city lights, and the real star? The freakin’ soundtrack. Join the boys as they sip Suntory whiskey (for podcasting times), and dissect standout tracks like Death in Vegas' "Girls", Phoenix’s "Too Young", and that one moment when Bill croons Roxy Music’s "More Than This" with the weary energy of a karaoke philosopher. We’ll explore how Coppola handpicked tracks like she was curating the ultimate Tokyo heartbreak mixtape, and how My Bloody Valentine fans (me neither) were thrilled to find Kevin Shields back in action — even if only briefly. Expect awkward metaphors, strong opinions about ambient guitar fuzz, dodgy Japanese accents, and at least one attempt to explain shoegazing to millennials. In addition to all this fun, the boys catch up with Brian about his holiday in Rhyl, explore the merits of the ‘3-pube method’ (try it yerself!) and discuss JML tat. What’s not to love?? It’s moody. It’s melodic. It’s more than this.

  • S2 E7 • Batman (1989)

    S2 E7 • Batman (1989)
    May 15 2025
    "Gentleman, let us broaden our minds... Lawrence!" In this bat-tastic episode, the boys dive utility-belt first into the purple-tinted fever dream that is Prince's 1989 Batman soundtrack—the musical oddity that asked, What if the Joker had a groove? and What if Gotham threw a dance party at a crime scene? Dave and Tom unravel the purple enigma track by track, covering hits like the head-scratcher banger “Batdance.” Is it a song? Is it three songs? Is it an audio hallucination brought on by too much Joker gas? “Partyman,” the funkiest war crime ever committed on vinyl, and “Scandalous,” the sultry slow jam you definitely shouldn’t be playing in the Batcave if Alfred’s nearby. Even hit singles like “Trust” and “Electric Chair” make the chaps ask the big questions, like: Was this soundtrack made for a movie, or did Prince just decide to adopt Batman for tax reasons? How much music can one man pull out of a vault and palm off as a Soundtrack? Anyway, grab your grappling hook, put on your vulcanized rubber suit, and join the SSSM crew for a funk-fueled caper through one of the weirdest, wildest musical side quests in superhero history. It’s a bird! It’s a bat! No—it’s Prince, and he’s funked up Gotham real good.

    S2 E6 • Carlito's Way (1993) with Jake Whiston
    May 1 2025
    S2 E6 • Carlito’s Way (1993) "He's got a good future if he can live past next week." In this episode, Dave and Tom are joined by their good pal, and hotshot editor from “The Media” - Jake Whiston, together they will be diving headfirst into the Carlito's Way soundtrack — a 90s gangster film wrapped in a disco fever dream. Join the trio as they unpack the sultry sounds of Spanish Harlem, where bongos echo like gunshots and Jellybean Benitez spins tracks so smooth they could talk their way out of a Rico charge. From the soulful croon of "You Are So Beautiful" (with it’s cartoon duck accompaniment) to the funky Disco strut of "Rock the Boat" we explore how this soundtrack is less a “criminal enterprise” and more of a “dancefloor felony.” Plus, we try to uncover the secrets behind “Jellybean” Benitez’s ubiquity, and we fill our bongo tally while discussing their role in the realm of cinematic tension. So pour yourself a rum and coke, loosen that top button (or more if you’re feeling dangerous), and get ready to boogie your way through betrayal, redemption, and a whole lot of Disco. Join us as we get ready to spill our beans all over the dancefloor.
