In this episode we talk to multi-hyphenate creator (and super great person) Ryan Antooa (https://www.ryanantooa.com/) while travelling around India with Wes Anderson, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman in 2007's The Darjeeling Limited. A departure from Anderson's previous soundtracks which relied heavily on the work of Mark Mothersbaugh, this album features tracks from prominent Bollywood films as well as some more western hits, including the track that one person in the chat lost their virginity to!

This episode we are talking the most pivotal film and soundtrack of 2001- at least in our opinion. Josie and the Pussycats is a film co produced by Universal and Metro-Goldwyn-Myer that sadly didn't have the box office clout at the time as it does cult status today. Starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Tara Reid and Rosario Dawson as a rebooted feline inspired rock band of the Hannah Barbara universe, the soundtrack is comprised of the biggest heavy hitters in pop and rock of all time. We dive deep into the contributions of Ana Waronker of That Dog, Kay Hanely and Micheal Eisenstein of Letters to Cleo, DeeDee Gipson, Baby Face, Adam Schelsinger of Fountains of Wayne, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, Cancon hero Bif Naked, Matthew Sweet, along with the films directors Deb Kaplan and Harry Elfont among others that made up this fictitious super group.

This episode dives deep not only into the history of the Josie and the Pussycats franchise- talking about who was supposed to be cast as Josie initially, and some of the big names that auditioned for the part of Val- but we also wax and wane nostalgia on what this film meant for teens and girls playing music in a post grunge, current end of the manufactured boy band/ girl band era.

Once again we travel back to 1995 for the heyday of big money making soundtracks that actually rock with Batman Forever. Produced by RZA and released on Atlantic Records, this soundtrack is SO much more than U2 and "Kiss From a Rose". We talk our love of Brandy, and Lenny Kravitz's covert performance on this gem; we also get deep into our love of Sunny Day Real Estate and The Offspring (pre-Pretty Fly days). If you have watched the film recently, you will completely understand why this soundtrack was the catalyst for proceeding soundtracks to add the caveat "music INSPIRED by the movie"

Track Listing: "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 – "One Time Too Many" by PJ Harvey – "Where Are You Now?" by Brandy – "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal – "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by Massive Attack and Tracey Thorn (The Marvelettes cover) – "Nobody Lives Without Love" by Eddi Reader – "Tell Me Now" by Mazzy Star – "Smash It Up" by the Offspring (The Damned cover) – "There Is a Light" by Nick Cave – "The Riddler" by Method Man – "The Passenger" by Michael Hutchence (Iggy Pop cover) – "Crossing the River" by the Devlins – "8" by Sunny Day Real Estate – "Bad Days" by the Flaming Lips –
