500 Days of Summer (2009) - The Indie-Pop Soundtrack for Romantic Comedies in the Aughts with DT of Space Castle

DT, host of the Space Castle YouTube Channel, returns to Soundtrack Your Life to talk to Nicole and Ryan about Marc Webb's 2009 film, 500 Days of Summer. Lots of stories or heartbreak in our 20s follows since this film is a perfect backdrop for our Valentines Day episode. Tales of heartbreak, dumping someone over their bad music taste, making mixtapes, and more are shared as we dive into the time capsule that is 2009.Chapters:00:00:00 - Welcoming Back DT and The Steve Holt Story00:04:42 - Is 500 Days of Summer is a Revenge Film?00:15:11 - 2009 Slang and Tropes00:19:48 - Character Arcs or a Lack There of00:25:29 - Mixtapes!00:28:39 -  The Immediate Impact of the Film on Pop Culture00:30:59 -  The Infamous Party Scene and Karaoke Choices00:34:34-  She and Him and Hit Record00:41:36  - The Fashion in 200900:44:52 - The Soundtrack and How Some of Its Bands Peaked in 200900:50:30 - Movies that Remind us of 500 Days of Summer00:56:24 - Our 20s vs 30s in Retrospect01:01:26 - Dating People with Bad Music Taste01:07:09 - One Last Embarrassing Dating Story01:12:09 - Thank You and GoodbyeFollow Space Castle on Blueksy!We would love it if you would join our Patreon membership, where you will get quarterly bonus episodes, early access to our regular episodes and more!Soundtrack Your Life SocialsBlueskyInstagramWriting SiteYouTubePatreon Learn more about your ad choices.
