Stranger Than Fiction (2006) - The Britt Daniel Scored Soundtrack with the Great Wreckless Eric Needle Drop

Author: Nicole Barlow & Ryan Pak | Soundtrack Experts March 28, 2022 Duration: 1:07:13
Ryan, Brandice and Nicole talk about the soundtrack to the 2006 Marc Forster film, Stranger than Fiction. The soundtrack is the debut of Spoon's Britt Daniel as a soundtrack composer, he worked with Brian Reitzell who was also helming the role of soundtrack supervisor. They chat about the many Spoon songs included in the film, including the song "The Book I Write", which was written specifically for the film. They also discuss one of the pivotal scenes in the film where Will Ferrell covers Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wild World" in what may be one the more touching scenes in Will Ferrell's career, and they talk about how the film doesn't feel very 2006 and how the soundtrack plays a role in that feeling.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 much more!This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacySpotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Soundtrack Your Life SocialsBlueskyInstagramWriting SiteYouTubePatreon Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s for anyone who’s ever felt a movie’s emotion amplified by a perfect song choice, or who believes a great soundtrack does more than accompany a story-it becomes a part of your own.
