Lots and lots of movies have soundtracks. Some are classics. Some are bad. But the majority fall somewhere in between. This podcast is going to take a look at all of them (or, as many as I can). Every week I'll be covering a different movie that had an original motion picture soundtrack, and then digging into the album. One part film discussion, one part music discussion, the Soundtracker podcast is here to help you navigate the wide world of movies and music. In each episode, myself and a guest discuss the movie and its soundtrack, rate each one, give you our picks for the best songs on the soundtrack, and suggest additional recommendations for what to watch or listen to in relation to whatever we're covering. So join me, as I look back at an era that's largely a thing of the past, and maybe you'll find a new favorite film or song along the way. New episodes every Friday.

Episode 79: Zodiac (with Rachel Fisher and Desi Jedeikin of the Hollywood Crime Scene podcast)
Today on Soundtracker I'm joined once again by Desi Jedeikin (@DesiJed on Twitter and IG) and Rachel Fisher (@TheRachelFisher on Twitter, childlikeempress on IG) of Hollywood Crime Scene (@hwoodcrimescene on Twitter, hollywoodcrimescene on IG) only this time, they're both here together, AND, I'm over on Hollywood Crime Scene for my first true Soundtracker crossover episode. And the crossover theme is The Zodiac Killer. They're here talking Fincher's modern masterpiece, ZODIAC, and I'm over there talking the actual Zodiac case!
In this episode, we talk about the film's long road to getting made, the overarching theme of obsession destroying lives, Toschi and Armstrong's love of animal crackers, give our own personal Zodiac theories, marvel at how it conveys the passage of time through musical cues, our hopes to bring back the Aqua Velva drink, the basement scene being the scariest thing outside of a horror film, the way Hurdy Gurdy Man will never be heard the same, Greysmith's many faults, Robert Downey Jr's killer performance, and a whole lot more.
