Episode 95: 1995 Soundtrack Misfits

May 22 2024 88 mins  
We're back! For our 95th episode, we bring you a collection of soundtrack cuts from 1995. It was the height of the 90s, when 80s pop stars showed up in the most random movies, fledgling rock bands popped up on teen cult classics, and also Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh Eagles teamed up with Lita Ford to do the theme song for a RoboCop TV series. 1995 was definitely a mood... Also appea

Episode 94: Airheads

Mar 03 2024 94 mins  
Hello all you OST Party fans out there in radioland! Are you ready to rock?! On this episode we're looking at the 1994 comedy AIRHEADS! Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi and OST Party fave Brendan Fraser are The Lone Rangers, a down and out LA rock trio. In a last ditch effort to land a record deal, they take a radio station hostage and demand to have their music heard. The movie may b

Episode 93: FM

Jan 18 2024 111 mins  
We're ringing in the new year with a film we've been wanting to cover for a long time. It's the 1978 cult film FM, about a Los Angeles radio station fighting back against The Man with some of the coolest rock jams of the 70s. Or at least, that's what the movie is supposed to be about. Mostly it's an excuse for Martin Mull to ham things up while they shoot a Linda Ronstadt concert.

Episode 92: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Nov 07 2023 84 mins  
We may have missed Halloween, but so what? On this episode we take you back to sunny Los Angeles for a look at the soundtrack to 1992's Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the feature film blueprint for one of the most iconic TV series of the 90s. This soundtrack is pretty typical of what you'd find on a movie soundtrack in 1992. You've got the requisite covers from artists like Divinyls and

Episode 91: Back to School

Sep 15 2023 77 mins  
The fall semester is in full swing, so what better time to revisit the 1986 comedy classic Back to School! Rodney Dangerfield is here to give higher learning a lesson in the real world, and he's bringing Oingo Boingo with him! That's right, OST Party mainstays Oingo Boingo are back for another college comedy. (Man, we just can't let Teen Wolf Too go, huh?) Also on this soundtrack w

Episode 90: Remembering Pee-wee Herman

Aug 17 2023 75 mins  
This week we mourn the passing of the incomparable Paul Reubens. His most famous creation, Pee-wee Herman, taught kids of all stripes that there's beauty in the weird and kitschy parts of the world, and that just because we grow up doesn't mean we have to stop being silly. And throughout his career, Reubens incorporated lots of music into the Pee-wee persona. So on this episode we'

Episode 89: Coneheads

Jul 20 2023 72 mins  
Greetings bluntskulls! On this episode we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Coneheads! Wayne's World proved there was a market for SNL comedies in the 90s, so naturally here's a movie based on the Coneheads, space aliens from the planet Remulak just trying to fit in among regular humans. It's basically an excuse for Dan Aykroyd to be a big weirdo for 90 minutes. And the soundtrack

Episode 88: The X-Files: Fight The Future

Jun 28 2023 97 mins  
It's been 25 years since The X-Files jumped to the big screen! The first of two features based on the show, Fight The Future is The X-Files as a big-budget summer blockbuster. There's alien conspiracies, explosions, races through cornfields, killer bees for some reason... There's a lot to unpack with this film. And naturally, it came with a pretty stellar soundtrack. The usual susp

Episode 87: Tank Girl

May 25 2023 94 mins  
On this episode we go back to the 90s, an era when studios had no problem grabbing any old comic book and turning it into the craziest movie you've ever seen. Case in point: Tank Girl! In a future wasteland where water is worth more than gold, Lori Petty teams up with Naomi Watts to steal a tank, befriend some kangaroo people, and save the world from a robot-armed Malcolm McDowell.

Episode 86: Encino Man

Apr 12 2023 93 mins  
Get ready to wheez the juice, cuz this week we're talking all things ENCINO MAN! The film that brought us not only Pauly Shore, but also newly crowned Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser! High school buds Shore and Sean Astin dig up and thaw out caveman Fraser, and proceed to teach him how to be cool in early 90s southern California! And to accompany this ridiculous plot, we get an
