That Song From That Movie

IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHIN' NICE...  We are taking another step on our Disney animated classic marathon, up next is Bambi from 1942. "There's just one song in this, right?" I hear you say... Wrong! It has four: " Love is a Song ", " Little April Showers ", " Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song " and finally " Looking for Romance ". Alex does not like vegetables, Ben was watched Zack Synder's A...

LAST SUIT YOU'LL EVER WEAR ...AGAIN  Damn, that first Men in Black movie was such a hoot! So it's a shame we are talking about that then. Instead we are looking it's dreadful follow up: Men In Black II . But let's ignore the two headed Johnny Knoxville though and instead concentrate on its memorable tie-in song: " Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head) " by Will Smith. Ben has an ASMR disaster, Die...

INTRODUCING QUENTIN TARANTINO Is there a better big screen directorial debut than Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs ? Maybe so, but this has got to be a contender. Although we do chat about " Little Green Bag ", most of the episode is centred around the iconic ear chopping scene set to the sound of " Stuck in the Middle with You " by Stealers Wheel. Dietrich does an a Tim Roth impression, Alex ha...

...WHEN YOU BELIEVE With so many great songs, I think it's no surprise we had to make The Prince of Egypt a two-parter. Part Two covers: " Through Heaven's Eyes ", " Playing With the Big Boys ", " The Plagues " and both the movie and the Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey versions of " When You Believe ". Alex can't make up his mind, Ben confirms the correct way to say "scone" and Dietrich is in dire ne...

THERE CAN BE MIRACLES... We have an odd relationship with The Prince of Egypt . The first half of the movie we have watched countless times together, but never the second half. It'll make more sense when we explain it in the episode. The movie is jam packed with songs, so this is a two-parter. Part One covers: " Deliver Us ", " River Lullaby " and " All I Ever Wanted ". Ben is doubling down on his...

THE AWARD GOES TO... What did you make of the Oscars, then? In part 2 we finish our look through the Best Original Song category at the 2021 Academy Awards but fear not, Future Ben is here to let us know how we faired. Songs covered in this episode: " Io Si (Seen) " from The Life Ahead , " Speak Now " from One Night in Miami and " Hear My Voice " from The Trial of the Chicago 7 . Warning: the epis...

AND THE NOMINEES ARE... The award season is in full swing but That Song From That Movie hasn't been consulted about the Best Original Song category?! That's an outrage. It's our bread and butter! Literally the concept of the podcast is movie songs. Therefore we've taken it into our own hands to breakdown all the songs nominated this year. On this episode, we start by covering the history of the Os...

TO INFINITY... What better way to bring in the 2nd year of That Song From That Movie than returning to the franchise that started it all. Toy Story 2 introduces us to the character of Jessie, along with her heart-breaking backstory summed up by Sarah McLachlan's " When She Loved Me ". Ben doesn't think Shrek is a classic, Dietrich is having imagination Christmas this year and Alex welcomes you to...

We're 1 years old! A whole year of That Song From That Movie! Here's a little bonus clip where we talk about the year we've had and hand out a load of thank yous as if we have won an Oscar.

KNOW ANY WINGS? Packed with one-liners, skits and references, Role Models stands above its mid-noughties buddy comedy peers. Nothing shows this more than the inclusion of Wings' classic " Love Take Me Down (To The Streets) ". Along with this we had KISS songs aplenty! Dietrich respects the brackets at all times, Alex denies stealing sweets from Woolworths and Ben wants to LARP but only in secret....

GODZILLA VS MATTHEW BRODERICK To celebrate the release of the new monster movie Godzilla Vs Kong, we are stepping back to the 90s to dissect America's first attempt at bringing the famous Japanese movie icon to the big screen: Godzilla . With a whole soundtrack of hits, we whittle them down to two: Puff Daddy's " Come With Me " and Jamiroquai's " Deeper Underground ". Alex has watched ANOTHER Netf...

I THINK WW2 HAS JUST STARTED! Positively or negatively, World War Two love epic Pearl Harbor can be fully described as "Michael Bay explosion porn". And what comes with a sweeping love epic? An over the top ballad, of course! Penned by podcast favourite Diane Warren, Faith Hill sings " There You'll Be ". Ben enjoys "gangly president man", Dietrich is keeping his finger on the TV pulse via Gogglebo...

MY HAT IS LIKE A SHARK'S FIN Suffice to say the shark movie genre has had its fair share of flops, but every now and then a gem is released. First we had Jaws, then not much else until along came the iconic Deep Blue Sea . LL Cool J stars in the movie but, more importantly for a movie music based podcast, provides the movie's signature track: " Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin) ". Dietrich is repeating...

A BAD ROMANCE "Pffft, all Hollywood is today is sequels and remakes" says your typical I'm-smarter-than-you Redditor. You know what? This week they have a point because we are covering the FOURTH big screen version of A Star Is Born . Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper go off the deep end to give us the movie's anthem: " Shallow ". Alex brings up Brexit, Ben is not a fan of Kris Kristofferson and Dietri...

CASEY JR'S BACK! Disney's heart-breaking tale of a cute, big eared elephant with a stylish hat, Dumbo , is our pick this week. Six songs are packed into the just over an hour long movie: " Look Out For Mr Stork ", " Casey Jr ", " Roustabouts ", " Baby Mine ", " Pink Elephants on Parade " and " When I See An Elephant Fly ". Ben's phone interrupts the podcast, Dietrich is starting to lose his voice...

I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA... Do you like heist movies? Do you like fast cars? Do you like cockney rhyming slang? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then we have the movie for you. This week we are talking The Italian Job and its two songs: Matt Monro's " On Days Like These " and " Get a Bloomin' Move On " (better known as "The Self-Preservation Society"). Dietrich wants his broken DVD back...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Cupid pops into our virtual podcast studio to join us in our look back at the British romcom Four Weddings and a Funeral . Wet Wet Wet's immensely popular cover of The Troggs' less popular " Love Is All Around " is the movie's signature song. Alex's wife becomes the unexpected star of the podcast, Ben is receiving Yorkshire puddings in the post and Dietrich would rather talk...

I PITY THE FOOL! Back to Sylvester Stallone's greatest franchise for Rocky III , or as it is also known, "The Rocky movie where he fights Mr T". So what's the song this time around? You probably haven't heard of it. It's only this little obscure tie-in song called " Eye of the Tiger ". Ben has set his crosshairs set on Margaret Thatcher, Dietrich has a "3 of a Kind" moment and Alex shares a tanger...

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR... This week we are poking our elongated noses back into the wonderful world of Walt Disney animated classics. 1940's Pinocchio is the pick, so we'll be covering all the classics: " When You Wish Upon a Star ", " I Got No Strings ", " Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee " ...and also some other less notable songs. Dietrich wants to be watching a fireworks display, Alex definitely prefers F...

SET PHASERS TO STUN! With help from Captain Kirk, Spock and the rest of the USS Enterprise crew, we are delving deep into Star Trek Beyond . Rihanna provides the official song: " Sledgehammer " but if you are in China, you'll hear Jason Zhang's " Lost in the Stars " instead. Don't remember those songs? Probably because the most memorable song is " Sabotage " by the Beastie Boys. Alex is being forc...

HERE'S TO YOU... Jesus loves you more than you will know if you listen to this week's episode about 1967's The Graduate . The soundtrack might officially state Mrs. Robinson as the song but Simon and Garfunkel have other tracks in this movie which might have a stronger shout at being that song from that movie . Ben has been watching Christmas movies in January, Dietrich finds out the rules for obt...

HEIGH-HOOOOOOOO Welcome to 2021. For first episode of the new year we are going all the way back to 1937 for the first ever feature length animated movie: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . All the classic songs you remember are here ...and there's also some other songs which have been completely forgotten about. Dietrich thinks Prince Charming should be on a register, Alex is only here to do an An...

CHRISTMAS TRIPLE BILL It's our final Christmas episode of 2020 (Boo!) so with that in mind, we are casting our festive eyes over the classic short movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and its signature song " You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch ". Is that not enough? Well, you're in luck as we also take a look at the Jim Carrey version for the year 2000 live action remake and the recent Tyler, The Creat...

A NICOLAS CAGE CHRISTMAS We are back with our second Christmas special of the season. When it comes to movie adaptations of A Christmas Carol, we have gone a little bit more obscure but, if you ask Alex, we've gone a little bit better. Kate Winslet begins and ends her music career with the ballad " What If " from the animated Christmas Carol: The Movie . Alex starts the campaign to improve your Ch...

IT'S CHRIIIIISTMAS! Snow is falling, all around me, children playing, having fun listening to the first That Song From That Movie Christmas special of 2020! We hitch a ride with The Snowman whilst listening to Aled Jones' " Walking in the Air " ...what? It's not Aled Jones? Dietrich has invited Santa Claus along as the fourth member of the show, Alex is looking forward to a visit from the Christm....
