That Song From That Movie

JAMES BOND: WATERBOY We may not be qualified to explain what a " Quantum of Solace " actually is, but we are qualified to make fun of it. The music comes in the shape of Alicia Keys and Jack White's muddled duet " Another Way to Die ".  Then it's time to decide which noughties Bond song is the BEST and WORST . Ben doesn't think Daniel Craig has the raw charisma of Robert Downey Jr, Dietrich u...

BYE BROSNAN, HELLO CRAIG No Time to Die being moved to 2021 put a spanner in the works, but we push forward regardless. So here is Part 1 of our look at the James Bond songs of the 00s. Madonna serves up the techno " Die Another Day " from, you guessed it, Die Another Day . Whilst the late, great Chris Cornell belts out " You Know my Name " from Casino Royale . Plus we hear the thoughts of our fri...

CRUELLA DE VIL It's time for for us to delve into the Disney vault and pick out another animated classic, this time in the shape of 1961's 101 Dalmatians . And yes, there is more than one song! The beloved " Cruella De Vil " leads the way, followed by the catchy " Kanine Krunchies " and the less catchy " Dalmatian Plantation ". Dietrich is completely hinky-dink, Alex really wants you to know he do...

IS THAT YOUR FINAL ANSWER? We are heading east for this episode of That Song From That Movie as we discover our destiny with Danny Boyle's critically acclaimed Slumdog Millionaire . Songs include the Oscar nominated " O Saya ", nightclub classic " Paper Planes " and, most famously, " Jai Ho ". Ben channels his inner Chris Tarrant, Dietrich tells the story of how he met his wife and Alex's favourit...

WHO YA GONNA CALL? Happy Halloween! Prepare to get sufficiently spooked by ghosts and ghouls with your friends at That Song From That Movie. So what is our slimy pick? It's Ray Parker Jr's  " Ghostbusters " which, shockingly, is from the legendary comedy movie Ghostbusters . Alex (sort of) has an update from the Casablanca episode, Ben says the phrase "bulging phallic towers" and Dietrich enj...

PLAY IT, SAM We are jumping all the way back to the 1940s. The world was a little bit occupied with a big international skirmish whilst the cinema was occupied by Michael Curtiz's Casablanca . Dooley Wilson provides the music with " As Time Goes By ". Dietrich has absolutely, positively, undeniably seen Casablanca from start to finish (honest), Alex has suffered through the first half of Enola Hol...

WITH GREAT POWER... ...comes great responsibility. Next up for our perusal is the big-screen adaptation of everyone's favourite friendly neighbourhood superhero: Spider-Man . Sam Raimi's fan-favourite flick surprisingly boasts 3 released singles: Corey Taylor's "Bother" , Sum 41's "What We're All About" and, most importantly, Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott's "Hero" . Ben is only here for 3 minutes o...

ONE EPISODE WAS NOT ENOUGH Pierce Brosnan's antics as the secret agent could not be contained, so here is part 2 of our look into the James Bond movies of the 1990s. We finish the decade with Garbage's " The World is Not Enough " from the 1999 movie of the same name. Alex is a poet and he knows it, Ben shakes the James Bond magic 8-ball plot generator and Dietrich is your good friend Hagrid. Follo...

I FOUND HIS WEAKNESS The 1990s action continues with our deep dive into the James Bond movies of the decade. Timothy Dalton is out and Pierce Brosnan is in. This episode covers Tina Turner's classic " Goldeneye " and Sheryl Crow's not-so-classic " Tomorrow Never Dies ". Dietrich has been stalking Alex in the bushes, Alex is sitting on the floor of the cinema and Ben doesn't get to speak. Follow us...

PUT THE BUNNY BACK IN THE BOX Do 1990s action movies get any more action-y and any more 90s-y than Nicolas Cage's Con Air ? We don't think so. Please obey the seatbelt and no smoking signs as we take a trip to " How Do I Live " by LeAnn Rimes... or is it Trisha Yearwood? Ben wants to know who is in country music superstar Garth Brooks' team of the week, Dietrich gets his birds and monkeys mixed up...

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS To celebrate the release of Disney's live action remake of the animated classic Mulan , we are breaking the formula to review not one, not two, but a whopping four songs in one go: " Honor to Us All ", " Reflection ", " I'll Make a Man Out of You " and " A Girl Worth Fighting For ". We are definitely spoiling you. Alex has not seen Dinosaur, Ben really wants to know what...

HASTA LA VISTA, BABY Time to tune up the air guitar, backcomb your hair and don the leather jacket, because we are taking our first jump into the wonderful world of heavy metal. Legendary rockers Guns N Roses serve up the not so legendary You Could Be Mine , which acts as the theme song to James Cameron's masterpiece Terminator 2: Judgement Day . Dietrich is using the metric system, Alex is enjoyi...

DALTON HAS ARRIVED A new James Bond actor is here in the shape of Timothy Dalton, therefore it's only appropriate we pick apart the music from The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill . Once that's done, we decide which 1980s song is the BEST and WORST . Ben has been counting kills, Dietrich ponders the mediocre versus the unremarkable and Alex accidentally pitches a great name for a new Bond movi...

DANCE INTO THE FIRE 007 is back and that means it's time cast our eyes over the James Bond songs of the 1980s. In this episode, we break down For Your Eyes Only , Octopussy and A View to a Kill . Alex questions Beanie Feldstein's attempt at a Brummie accent, Ben wants two thirds of a Fab ice lolly and Dietrich reckons we have a song perfectly fit for an "old person boogie".  (Come back next w...

NIGHTMARE FUEL We are truly sorry about any repressed childhood trauma we uncover on this episode. Time for a trip to a nice, pleasant English meadow as we break down Watership Down , the animated movie which is probably not for kids. But there is light in the darkness with Art Garfunkel's " Bright Eyes ". Ben is getting sunburned in the shade, Dietrich has a soapy theory on the number of complain...

AND I SAID WHAT ABOUT... Next on the agenda is a bonafide Hollywood classic, however some aspects of the movie have not aged well, to put it politely. Get ready for a very expensive morning meal as we discuss " Moon River " from Breakfast At Tiffany's . Alex discusses his parents bedroom, Ben introduces a new segment and Dietrich accidentally prompts a Bruce Forsyth discussion.  Follow us on...

DOUBLE 0 70s And so we come to the end of another decade as we complete our look at the James Bond Songs of the 1970s. This episode, we dissect The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker before deciding which song we think is the best and which is the absolute worst . Ben does a terrible (and potentially libellous) impression of John Barry, Dietrich does a terrible (and potentially libellous) impression o...

BOND IS BACK We are back with another two part special, this time we moving on a decade to cast our eyes and ears over the James Bond Songs of the 1970s. In this episode, we discuss Diamonds Are Forever , Live and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun . Alex is reporting the trends regarding disco record sales for the year ending 1976, Ben is avoiding the pub and Dietrich is contradicting his pr...

HE'S NOT THE MESSIAH The movie is considered the standard-bearer of British comedy, with a massively popular tie-in song summing up being British in about 3 and a half minutes. That's right, it's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from the controversial Monty Python's Life of Brian . Dietrich is struggling to breathe watching Argo, Alex reminisces about his father's VHS tapes and Ben accidenta...

FART NOISES Where do we even start with this one? It's definitely the case that there's nothing else quite like it, but we're not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. We take a ride on Daniel Radcliffe's corpse for our look at " Montage " from the movie Swiss Army Man . Ben is taking us on a tour of his bizarre DVD collection, Dietrich brings up Shrek again and Alex's laptop keeps interrup...

GALAXY DEFENDERS Will Smith was the king of Hollywood in the 1990s and no movie epitomises this more than today's selection. This week we are covering Will Smith's certified jam "Men in Black" which, shockingly, is from the movie Men in Black . Alex is worried about his duty to defend the galaxy, Ben is focusing on Tommy Lee Jones' hands and Dietrich shows uncharacteristic restraint regarding the...

...James Bond In part 2 of our journey through the James Bond songs of the 1960s, we take a look into Nancy Sinatra's effort for You Only Live Twice and the two (greedy!) songs from On Her Majesty's Secret Service . Which ultimately brings us onto the battle to determine, once and for all, which song from the 1960s is the BEST and which stinker is the WORST. Ben auditions for The Pirates of Penzan...

The name's Bond... To celebrate reaching 10 episodes, we are shaking (not stirring) up the format. Over the next two weeks, we are discussing all of the James Bond songs of the 1960s. In this episode, we look at the songs from Dr No , From Russia with Love , Goldfinger and Thunderball . Alex performs Ennio Morricone's version of Goldfinger, Ben has the latest updates on the weather and Dietrich is...

I LOST MY LEG! In the immortal words of Ralph Wiggum: "The rat symbolises obviousness!" and, obviously, we'll be showcasing our terrible Boston accents in this week's episode. We're climbing up the top sail with The Dropkick Murphys' "I'm Shipping Up to Boston"  from The Departed . Dietrich recounts his Media Studies coursework, Alex has a bone to pick with Scorcese about his portrayal of wom...
