  • This is Spinal Tap (1984) w/ Dan Shinder of Drum Talk TV
    Nov 11 2024
    Dan Shinder, founder of DrumTalkTV joins Nicole and Ryan to talk about the 1984 Rob Reiner Mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap, and how it might be more realistic than a lot of rock biopics out there. We break down the big hair, on-stage disasters, dressing room shenanigans, and of course, THE MUSIC. From "Hell Hole" to "Stonehenge" and everything in between, Dan connects the dots between the absurd events in the film and the real life events that might have inspired them. Also, there's a small wink to Dan in the movie?!For More Information about Dan Shinder / DrumTalkTV:The Membership Program: https://drumtalktvbrilliance.com/ (Enter DTTV3FREE for 3 free months!)Website: https://www.drumtalktv.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/drumtalktvTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/drumtalktvIf you'd like to support Soundtrack Your Life, we have a Patreon, where you'll get bonus episodes and more!

  • Why Does Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch Drunk (2002) Seem Like a Musical With No Singing? w/ Pete Abeyta of Middle Class Film Class
    Oct 28 2024
    Pete Abeyta from the Middle Class Film Class Podcast/YouTube Channel, joins Nicole and Ryan to talk about the soundtrack to Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 film, Punch Drunk Love. This soundtrack consists of a wonderful score by producer/composer/mad scientist, Jon Brion, who also composed the scores to films that we've covered in previous episodes like, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Magnolia. Brion also reworks the iconic "He Needs Me" by Shelley Duvall from Robert Altman's 1980 film, Popeye.We Discuss:
    • How Jon Brion and Paul Thomas Anderson closely worked together on the "sound" of the film
    • Why Brion's score evokes memories of old MGM musicals and why that's intentional
    • Robert Altman's reaction to "He Needs Me" being used in the film
    • The connection of the Punch Drunk Love score to Guillermo Del Toro's Shape of Water.
