That Song From That Movie

SO LONG, PARTNER...   Happy birthday to us! We are 2 years old and we are celebrating the only way we know how, by covering a Toy Story movie. So this week the critically acclaimed Toy Story 3 is our movie of choice and Randy Newman's stalker anthem " We Belong Together " is the song. Dietrich becomes an official wedding certificating guy, Alex's microphone is really not feeling well and Ben...

PODCAST SPECTACULAR   We are talking the conclusion of Baz Lurhmann's Red Carpet trilogy: Moulin Rouge! The movie has loads of covers so we just concentrate on the overall performances and then drill down into the 2 big hits. First up is " Lady Marmalade " with its star-studded team up of Mya, P!nk, Lil' Kim, Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliot. Then we move on to the movie's only original...

WHO WILL WIN?  Our invite must have been lost in the post. Again. Either way that won't stop us breaking down the Best Original Song category at the 2022 Academy Awards and declaring our true winner. With a Disney song, a Beyoncé song, a Bond song and, most importantly, a Diane Warren song; this year is stacked. The nominees are: " Down to Joy " from Belfast, " Dos Oruguitas " from Encanto, "...

STAY CLASSY, SAN DIEGO.  It's potentially the most quoted movie of all time. You hear it everywhere, regardless of whether or not you even know what the quotes are from. Of course, we are talking: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy . Along with all the repetition though, comes the casts acapella cover of the Starland Vocal Band one-hit wonder: " Afternoon Delight ". Dietrich does his Offic...

HI I'M JOHNNY KNOXVILLE...  ...welcome to That Song From That Movie's breakdown of Jackass 3D (yes, really). The Jackass boys are back for their 3rd blockbuster big screen outing and are bringing along alternative rock band Weezer to provide the music and the feels with the song " Memories ". Alex ages up 10 years in 2 seconds, Ben makes a supreme Patreon pledge and Dietrich saves the day wit...

BOYCOTT SAL'S!  We are grabbing a couple slices of 'za from Sal's for this episode of That Song From That Movie, as we break down Spike Lee's 1989 masterpiece: Do The Right Thing . Bringing the noise is Public Enemy with their call to the people: " Fight The Power ". Ben continues his obsession with lists, Dietrich acts as the mouthpiece for the Chinese Government and Alex's chair wants to be...

BUFFOONERY SANCTIONED  Hello 2022. We are back for a brand new year and a brand new start, so where better to begin than the 3rd movie of a 4 movie franchise: Batman Forever . The movie may not be universally liked but fear not, the movie surprisingly contains 2 hit songs! Today we cover U2's " Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me " and Seal's " Kiss From A Rose ". Dietrich leads a harmony, A...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Every British person knows that early afternoon on Christmas Day is when Queen Elizabeth II addresses the nation. But what if you don't want to listen to her? Or what if you are not British? Well, That Song From That Movie is there for you with our alternative to the Christmas Message. Alex is going hard on the eggnog, Ben has got his stockings on and Dietrich is actually being ni...

This year we are breaking down stop motion classic Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas . Part 1 covers the songs: " This is Halloween ", " Jack's Lament " and " What's This? ". Dietrich shuffles his playlists, Alex is loc...

SAY "WHAT" AGAIN! I DARE YOU! Part 2 follows part 1, isn't that just easier Quentin? Part 2 of our breakdown of Pulp Fiction covers loads of songs: " Son of a Preacher Man ", " Bullwinkle Part II ", " You Never Can Tell ", " Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon ", " If Love is a Red Dress ", " Camanche ", " Flowers on the Wall " and " Surf Rider ". *breathes heavily*. Alex gets quietly awkward, Ben busts...

ROYALE WITH CHEESE Much like our Reservoir Dogs episode, this is your one of many explicit warnings for this episode because we are covering Pulp Fiction . There's so many songs in the movie that it's another 2 parter. Part 1 covers: " Misirlou ", " Jungle Boogie ", " Let's Stay Together ", " Bustin' Surfboards " and " Lonesome Town ". Ben reluctantly gives his thoughts on the trailer for the new...

THE FRIENDLIEST GHOST YOU KNOW Last year, our Halloween special spooked you with the sound of the Ghostbusters. This year it's the chilling turn of the songs of Casper . Three songs haunt the podcast this week: Digital Underground & Tupac's " Same Song ", Jordan Hill's " Remember Me This Way " and Little Richard's cover of the " Casper The Friendly Ghost " theme song. Dietrich has been sliding...

MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU  Who me? Yes, you! You are welcomed to part 2 of our deep dive into the songs of Alice in Wonderland . (And by "deep dive", I mean shallow dive.) Songs covered include "I'm Late", "All in the Golden Afternoon", "The Unbirthday Song", "Very Good Advice", "Painting the Roses Red" and more. Alex does book, Ben doesn't think anything is memorable and Dietrich wins a golden...

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT The Disney marathon continues. This time it's the turn of the (apparently) drug abuse inspiring Alice in Wonderland . There's so many songs in this movie, the most of any Disney movie so the main focus of this episode is the titular " Alice in Wonderland ", the dreamy " In a World of My Own " and the dropped " Beyond a Laughing Sky ". Ben is listening to lofi hip-hop beats...

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL Oh yeah, it's millennials reminiscing about Pokémon time! This week we are breaking down the succinctly named Pokémon The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back . Although we talk about a couple of songs from the soundtrack, the main focus of the episode is Blessid Union of Souls tearjerker " Brother My Brother ". Dietrich becomes a music video producer, Alex has a microphone disaste...

ROBOTS IN DISGUISE When it comes to filmographies, I think it's more than fair to say that Michael Bay's list of work is a mixed bag. And nothing sums that up better than the 2007 live-action adaptation of Transformers . When the massive CGI mech battles finally end, we hear the late great Chester Bennington begin to sing " What I've Done ". Alex joins the early noughties rock band The Used as a v...

BIPPITY BOPPITY BOO It's probably not a surprise but this week we are heading back into the animated world of Disney's Cinderella . Part 2 covers the songs: " Bippity Boppity Boo ", " So This is Love " and " The Work Song " (or as every single person, living or dead, in the complete history of human kind: "Cinderellie"). Ben consults the British government to legitimise the Top 5, Dietrich details...

FERRIS BUELLER, YOU'RE MY HERO Matthew Broderick is back and, unlike his effort in Godzilla, he is charismatic and magnetic as hell! This week we are breaking down Ferris Bueller's Day Off and therefore the iconic parade scene set to the sweet sounds of The Beatles' " Twist and Shout ". Alex has taken up a new job at the New Yorker, Ben puts the good people of Truro on blast and Dietrich doesn't b...

THE FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB IS... ...broken many times throughout this episode. Yes, David Fincher's cinematic classic Fight Club is the subject of our discussion. As the movie reaches its epic conclusion, the sound of The Pixies' " Where is My Mind ?" plays out. Ben claims he hasn't seen Fast and Furious 9 (but we all know he has), Dietrich is risking a copyright strike with his absolutely pitch...

THAT'S ALL FOLKS! Our basketball themed adventure through the Tune world continues. We are back with part 2 of our look at Space Jam . Even more songs! There's Seal's " Fly Like An Eagle ", Chris Rock and Barry White's " Basketball Jones ", the Monstar's entrance music " Hit 'Em High " and then " For You I Will ", " I Turn to You " and a bunch of honourable mentions! Dietrich introduces the concep...

EH, WHAT'S UP DOC? It's been a very long time coming but a big budget LeBron James led sequel is happening, so to celebrate we are going back to the original Looney Tune's adventure: Space Jam . There's plenty of songs in the movie, so in part 1 we look at " I Believe I Can Fly " and the titular " Space Jam ". Alex knows his b-ball, Ben thinks there's only 3 movies in the Jason Bourne pentalogy an...

OH MY GOD, YOU KILLED KENNY! Just like part 1: EXPLICIT WARNING.  I think we all knew this was going to be a two-parter. I mean, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut has 10 songs! Part Two covers: "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" , "Up There" , "La Resistance" , "I Can Change" and finally "I'm Super" . Ben has to hold the guys hands, Dietrich still just thinks things are great and Alex is doi...

GOING DOWN TO SOUTH PARK... This probably goes without saying but I will say it anyway: EXPLICIT WARNING.  We are taking a trip to the big screen spin-off of one of the most popular adult animated TV shows of all time: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut . Now this is a musical so we have a lot to get through, in this episode we breakdown: "Mountain Town" , "Uncle Fucka" , "It's Easy, Mmmk...
