Author: Eric Peacock September 2, 2022 Duration: 1:09:15
Today on Soundtracker it's time to return to the Danger Zone (?), with another Kenny Loggins led soundtrack in FOOTLOOSE. Joining me is Gawker editor and beloved Twitter user Brandy Jensen (@BrandyLJensen), in a very lean and efficient episode. In this episode, we talk how much weirder the movie is than we remembered, how much better it is for it, John Lithgow's nuanced performance, how dangerous Ariel is, the incredibly stacked soundtrack and more. So hit play, and..... LET'S DANCE! SUPPORT...

Eric Peacock hosts Soundtracker, a weekly dive into the often-overlooked world of original motion picture soundtracks. Forget the simple playlists of pop songs; this is about the dedicated albums created for films, from undisputed classics to forgotten curiosities and everything in between. Each episode focuses on a single movie, weaving together a discussion of the film itself with a deep, thoughtful analysis of its accompanying soundtrack. The conversation explores how the music works within the story, stands alone as an album, and occupies its unique place in cultural memory. It’s a blend of genuine film criticism and music nerdery, delivered with a conversational and often comedic tone that reflects the show’s categories. While you can find samples elsewhere, full episodes of this podcast are available exclusively through Patreon, offering complete access to Eric’s thorough and entertaining explorations. Whether you're a cinephile, a music collector, or just someone who loves a good behind-the-scenes story, there’s a fresh discovery waiting in every installment.
