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 80: The Big Lebowski (with writer Luke O'Neil, author of A Creature Wanting Form)
Today on Soundtracker, there's this fella I wanna tell ya' about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. And joining me to talk about him is the author of the recently released short story collection, A Creature Wanting Form, Luke O'Neil (@lukeoneil47). Luke is a good man. And thorough.
It's BIG LEBOWSKI time, and in this episode we talk about the impeccable casting, the way it's the delivery that makes so many of the one-liners so memorable, whether Walter would have been a MAGA guy in 2016, the odd choices on the official soundtrack, Kenny Rogers, and the fucking Eagles. So give it a listen, which is in accordance with what we think Donny's dying wishes might well have been.
