Monster Smash

We're back! After what was a busy year and some technical difficulties, Frankie and Misa have returned with a recap on how 2024 went. Shows, movies, soundtracks, and more. We're glad to be back, and we hope you can look out for more in 2025!

Hi friends! After an unplanned and reluctant hiatus, Frankie and Misa are BACK and they've brought soundtracks with them. In the spirit of a good comeback story, your hostesses have each chosen a *sequel* to highlight. Frankie first takes us to a distant, magical land where happily ever after comes with conditions. Misa then reunites us with an average girl, her vampire boyfriend, and the werewolf she seeks comfort from. We're happy to be back! Keep an eye out for more updates. :) https://linktr.ee/soundtrackcity

We here! In this episode, your hostesses cover soundtracks they chose *for each other!* Franky's soundtrack-slash-score follows a little girl with a big dream to be crowned beauty queen. In Misa's 80s-licious movie, teenage characters written by John Hughes are all in love with each other, but hey wait -- that's not Molly Ringwald! Be sure to follow us on Instagram @heysoundtrackcity for clues to upcoming soundtracks. ;) https://linktr.ee/soundtrackcity

As huge Foo Fighters fans and of music in general, Soundtrack City is saddened to hear about the passing of Taylor Hawkins, drummer, singer, surfer, and all-around badass. We take a few moments to talk about how this feels like we've lost a friend, as many of his fans feel. Our hearts are with his family, his children, and the Foo Fighters family and community.

Foggy minds and touchy weather have brought us to this point. Check out this mini episode where Franky and Misa have come up with options for each other's next movie soundtrack! Tune in to hear the reveals. Who will choose what? Find out soon...

Happy Palindrome/Ambigram Day - 22022022! Do you have a comfort show or a movie you like having on in the background? In today's B-Side episode, Franky and Misa discuss media that make them feel better in this otherwise chaotic world.

NOTE: This episode was recorded in mid-November 2021. Hey, it's us! Forgive our absence, the holiday burnout/recovery is not easy. We are super excited to present this episode to you, and for many reasons. The movies we're discussing today were directed by Tim Burton! They also happen to star the familiar Johnny Depp. Expect lots of Danny Elfman & Stephen Sondheim Appreciation because we're delving into those soundtracks. We're also excited because our good friend MARTHA is joining us for this recording.

NOTE: This episode was recorded in mid-October. We are back & starting right where we left off - spooky season! After our unintentional but necessary break from the podcast, we are happy to introduce you to some of our fave spooky soundtracks. In this episode, Misa's soundtrack is centered around a handsome swimmer and his obsessed admirer. Then Franky transports us to the mind of Guillermo del Toro and his interpretation of stories we all grew up loving. Be sure to check out the blog https://soundtrackcitypod.wordpress.com with clips and audio from our movies. Share our podcast with your music and movie-loving friends!
