EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

“It’s all happening!”

If it sounds like there’s a party going on, you’re right, and you’re invited to join the fun on this special episode of Rock is Lit. My rock ‘n roll bruthas Mac B. and Action Jackson, from The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast, and I talk about what makes a great movie soundtrack and our criteria for choosing the movies/soundtracks that made each of our top-four lists. We discuss how these films are timeless but also capture a moment in time.

Then we do a deep dive into our shared number one pick, going song by song, exploring how the songs capture the tone and spirit of the scenes they’re featured in—in effect, how the convergence of fiction and music elevates the movie to modern classic status. 

 What’s our first choice for our favorite rock movie soundtrack? Here’s a hint:

“Air raid!”

You’ll have a blast hanging out with us—three pals grooving on a great movie with a great soundtrack. You might even take your own trip down memory lane as you listen to us relive our experience with the film and clips of some of the songs from the movie.
