    S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996)
    Jan 3 2025
    S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996) “Yes! You fuckin’ DANCER!” For the final episode of Season 1, Dave and Tom dive headlong into the toilet bowl, to discuss the sonic chaos of Trainspotting. It's a collection of tracks where Britpop, techno, and existential dread collide in a haze of ‘90s brilliance. Highlights include tunes that made Iggy Pop cool (again), Blur the kings of ennui, and Underworld the sound of your worst/best night out. Expect the usual Witty Banter™ and a deep dive into why ‘Lust for Life’ feels like a caffeinated sprint through bad decisions. Among the very high-brow discussion, find out why Children in Need (R.I.P Sir Terry Wogan) and Heather Small of M-People played such a massive part in bringing the songs into Dave and Tom's lives. Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise!? Choose podcasts. Choose this episode.

  • S1 E9 • House / Hausu (1977)

    S1 E9 • House / Hausu (1977)
    Dec 14 2024
    S1 E9 • House / Hausu (1977) “Oh, my! That's naughty” In this arse-bitingly good episode of Silver Screen Sound Machine, the boys will be wrapping their ears around the soundtrack to the cult-classic Japanese horror comedy - House. Helmed by the Japanese rock group Godiego this soundtrack spans the genres from naive, nakedly emotional piano pieces, through wild, thrashing, funky jams, Boogie Woogie, Doors-esque jazz, and even ersatz Blues by way of the Cookie Monster. The soundtrack of House perfectly captures the film's unique blend of horror, comedy, and surrealism, creating a truly unforgettable auditory experience. You will believe a cat can play the piano. P.S. Why not try taking a drink every time we say the word ‘leitmotif’ and see what happens.

    S1 E8 • Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
    Nov 27 2024
    S1 E8 • Beverly Hills Cop (1984) “Look man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!” In this episode, the boys don their letterman jackets and dive headfirst into the 1984 tour-de-force that is the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. A synth-drenched ode to the sound of US top-40s radio in the 1980s punctuated by a whole tailpipe full of patented SSSM nonsense. From the iconic and ever-present character theme of "Axel F", through to the suburban Dad anthem that is Glenn Frey’s "The Heat Is On", and the mind-blowingly catchy "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters. This album does nothing by halves and it's not one to be missed. Beyond the music - You'll be astounded at how much weird rage Tom can conjure up towards the word "Synthwave" and you'll be delighted as Dave recounts how this film took him two steps closer to manhood via the medium of workout lycra. So get your ears ready for an aural ridealong with the boys through the sun-drenched track listing of this 80s classic.

    Nov 20 2024
    S1 E7 • O' Brother Where Art Thou? (2000) “I'm a ‘Dapper Dan’ man!” In this episode, Dave and Tom are strapping on their banjos, dusting off their overalls, and plunging headfirst into the Coen Brothers’ down-home, toe-tappin’, soul-stirrin’ soundtrack of O’ Brother, Where Art Thou?. Packed full of rollicking bluegrass, gospel, and folk tunes that somehow made mandolins and washboards cool again. Including firm favourites like “Man of Constant Sorrow” (aka the most depressing sing-along you’ll ever love), “Down to the River to Pray” (ideal for all your river-adjacent prayer needs) and “You Are My Sunshine” (hitherto known as ‘Soft Boy Nonsense’). You can look forward to the lads channeling their inner ‘Soggy Bottom Boys’ and exploring some questionable shower rituals. So, grab your spoons, comb that pomade into your barnet and get ready for a hootin’, hollerin’, hair-raising series of hobo delusions.

    S1 E6 • Bloodsport (1988)
    Nov 8 2024
    S1 E6 • Bloodsport (1988) “Very good… but brick not hit back.” In episode six, the lads dive deep into the unforgettable soundtrack of Bloodsport (1988), the cult martial arts classic that catapulted Jean-Claude Van Damme to stardom. Bloodsport’s soundtrack captures both the raw energy and emotional journey of Frank Dux as he fights for honor (and questionable world records) in the notorious ‘Kumite’, deep in the depths of Kowloon’s infamous walled city. Hear the boys grapple with the fruits of Paul Hertzog’s musical labour; the pounding synths, the driving percussion, and evocative Eastern-inspired melodies. Not only that, but you will hear Dave drop some timeless fashion tips, and Tom gets unreasonably excited about a synthesizer. This episode isn’t only a juddering kick to the Dim Maks, it’s also a celebration of the music and machismo that made Bloodsport an enduring action classic.

    Oct 24 2024
    S1 E5 • Jackie Brown (1997) “Try not to tear his clothes off, OK? They're new.” In this episode, the lads are getting down with the Jackie Brown - soundtrack, it’s a playlist that cranks up the heat until your Bill Withers. Quentin Tarantino didn’t just pick songs; he hand-selected tracks with enough funk and soul to make even the coolest of characters sweat. Boasting the likes of Bobby Womack, The Delfonics, Pam Grier herself, and a host of other classics that will practically seduce you right through your headphones. Whether you’re into 70s vibes, Tarantino’s needledrops, or just need a dose of effortless cool, this episode is your jam. So kick back, crack open a can of “Liquid Suspicion”, and jump right in!

    S1 E4 • Fight Club (1999)
    Oct 11 2024
    S1 E4 • Fight Club (1999) “I’d fight Ghandi” In this episode, the lads take a trip down to nihilism-town and drink deep of the gritty, pulsating sounds offered up by the OST of David Fincher's cult classic, Fight Club. They’ll be exploring this eclectic score, weaving between the myriad genres served up by the Dust Brothers from industrial rock, and electronica to Middle-Eastern inspired exotica and cheery Yiddish pop. The boys will have a sweaty wrassle with this eclectic and schizophrenic mix of sounds while discussing the film's underlying themes of rebellion, brutality, masculinity, and societal disenfranchisement… Cheer up goth! Suffice it to say, this episode is a real (ahem) …knockout!
