It's graduation season and that means it's time to reminisce about the time we spent in college. And we do just that on this week's episode! We're discussing the soundtrack to the 1994 college dramedy With Honors. Joe Pesci plays homeless man Simon who befriends college senior Brendan Fraser, who's desperate to finish his senior thesis, and Pesci offers to help him in exchange for room and board.

All the life lessons and general feelgoodery is the perfect canvas for a soundtrack full of early 90s schmaltz and Gen X longing. We get a surprisingly great theme song by Madonna; requisite cover songs from Duran Duran, Belly and The Pretenders. There's also a haunting duet between Kristin Hersh and Michael Stipe, a goofy one-off from Mudhoney, and hey! Lindsey Buckingham is back!

The film ain't much to talk about, but the soundtrack sent us down some wild rabbit holes. So crack open a cold one, put on your favorite alma mater sweater and join the party!

We're back! It's been too long since our last episode, but Rad Day is here and we couldn't let it go without celebrating it properly.

What is Rad, you ask? Rad is every 80s sports movie you've ever seen, wrapped up in a package of BMX bikes, cheesy butt rock and more synthesizers than you can jump a bike over. It's ridiculous, it's kinda lame, but's also so completely RAD.

Helltrack is coming to town, and our hero Cru has a chance to prove to the BMX world he's the best racer around. And, in the process, he manages to woo Christian, a racer from a professional team who also happens to be played by a pre-Full House Lori Loughlin.

Anyway... It's Rad!

We're back! For our 95th episode, we bring you a collection of soundtrack cuts from 1995. It was the height of the 90s, when 80s pop stars showed up in the most random movies, fledgling rock bands popped up on teen cult classics, and also Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh Eagles teamed up with Lita Ford to do the theme song for a RoboCop TV series. 1995 was definitely a mood...

Also appearing in this episode: Tom Jones covering Lenny Kravitz for the Jerky Boys movie, The Proclaimers covering The Everly Brothers' "Bye Bye Love" for the movie Bye Bye Love, we get a few cuts from Green Day, Wax, and Salt N' Pepa.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is 1995.
