Podcasting Day: Expository Theme Songs II: The Revenge of Expository Theme Songs π
Added 2021-11-24 13:00:06 +0000 UTC
It's Wednesday, a day for hot dogs to use their voices, not their keyboards. But this Wednesday, they also use... their hearts. Their fucking restless ones.
Zak Koonce, our dear friend and theme song performer from Auralnauts, returns for a passionate battle of pop culture where he, Brockway, and Seanbaby bring three songs from movies about the movies they're in and let them clash.
Max your hype here or wherever you max your hype!
Of course, no competition would have meaning without rules. Competitors must have restless hearts, are disqualified on lonely nights, and the penalty for not knowing these are lyrics from the Running Man song is execution by Game Zone.
Also, by order of Game Zone, we also have some new regulations. Expository theme songs are now judged by the following three turgid criteria:
1. WRONG UNIVERSE:
If you stepped into another universe and performed this song, what would those people do? Lose their minds? Kill you? Declare you Music President? A low score would be anything less than all of the above.
2. WRONG MOVIE:
You finished your song right before the studio came in with big notes. The film now has an unrecognizably new plot, theme, and genre. How fucked is your song?
3. WRONG PERFORMER:
Your song is given to Paula Abdul, Weird Al, and Van Halen who are all told to produce and perform it. What have you done? What have you done.
Okay, you're ready! Go listen! Like and review! Stop reading now if you want to be surprised by our picks! Keep reading if you want links to the music videos!
All-foot beefnotes:
Zak's Songs: Weird Science , The Last Dragon , Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol
Brockway's Songs: Fight to Survive, Deepest Bluest , Are You Ready for Freddy?
Seanbaby's Songs: On Our Own , Human Tornado, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart

I was really hoping someone would have chosen P. Diddy's "Come With Me" from Godzilla 1998. The whole thing is basically a sample of a good Led Zepplin song. I'm pretty sure Diddy had no lyrics planned for the song and was just randomly spitting about his issues. A two points he tries sing hilariously. The album version is far less polished then the video he made which does in fact have a lot to do with the movie but the song doesn't Anyway I enjoyed both of these song podcasts. Great work, great guest.

2021-11-26 03:49:40 +0000 UTCBy my count itβs more like Kumite x 16. Side note, I have friends that I have permanently ruined Bloodsport for. I got drunk while we watched it and apparently I was just shit talking Frank Dux the ENTIRE time. They donβt invite me to watch movies with them anymore.

2021-11-24 22:04:26 +0000 UTCi was JUST LISTENING to the first one last night because it's my favourite Zak episode by a landslide (and the Natural Harvest bonus ep). Such a terrific voice and you guys have clearly been friends forever. This is going to be my cooking companion tomorrow, thanks much. PS. where's my Face/Off two hour episode with Jason Pargin?? I have a long trip home for Christmas, boys, and I can't find the Face/Off Podcast Episode tier

2021-11-24 21:10:33 +0000 UTCHaven't had a listen yet, but the fact that Deepest Bluest is on this means the Hot Doggery is off the fucking charts. I'm glad I have the day off, otherwise I feel my car would simply break down from the all-beef density. This requires me to be in the lowest part of my house, surrounded by cushions and smothered in mustard and sauerkraut.

2021-11-24 18:43:35 +0000 UTCI have to confront the fact that I don't think I have ever in my entire life felt a joy as all-consuming and complete as Seanbaby demonstrates in this episode.

2021-11-24 16:54:27 +0000 UTCSooooo..... Did Zak ever get that link to Brockway's Sarazanmai article? I really need to know if he was exposed to it. For science?

2021-11-24 16:31:36 +0000 UTCMy apologies for liking without listening, but being a carer on shift (and apparently due to the unethical nature of subjecting unconsenting folk of varying needs to auditory hotdoggery) I will have to enjoy later. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude in advance: β€οΈ π πΆ
