Description
The podcast inspired by the songs inspired by the motion pictures!
Join us as we explore the best and worst songs that originally appear in movies, from beloved classics such as “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” from Armageddon, to new hits like “All The Stars” from Black Panther — and even obscure head-scratchers like “Addams Family Groove” by MC Hammer from The Addams Family.
Each episode, we deep dive into an iconic song from a movie, revisit its film, and discuss its impact.
Movie songs are a collision of visual and audio media, resulting in prime moments of pop culture. Whether it’s for artistic merit or shameless promotion, we want to cover them all!
