Soundtracker
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 123: Super Troopers (with author and journalist Miles Klee)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
(insert one of 200 quotes from SUPER TROOPERS here), and with SUPER TROOPERS 3 releasing in theaters today, we're gonna talk about the original on Soundtracker. Joining me is Miles Klee (@milesklee.bsky.social), whose work you've seen with Wired, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Slate and many others. He also recently wrote a book called Double Black Diamond with his partner Mads Gobbo, which I've handily linked for you down below.
In this episode we talk about how refreshing it is to revisit a comedy from the Y2K era and not have to grit your teeth and power through a single outdated joke, the likeability of Broken Lizard in general, how funny it is to see Brian Cox in this role in 2026, our memories of our first time seeing the movie, the era of having 20 movies on DVD as your only source of home entertainment, and more. Meow, get yourself a liter of cola, go give it a listen and don't make me beg, because desperation is a stinky cologne.
Also look out for a cameo by a bonus special guest in the episode!
