Welcome to the 14th episode of the vs pod and we start the second of three shows on the glory that was the soundtrack album, a format that reached its apogee IMHO in the 1990s (so right in the sweet spot of this podcast!). Once again traversing the genres we have tracks from indie flicks, European classics, Baz, Aussie films, two films from Richard Linklater and a couple of actors from one of my favourite film trilogies. Enjoy!
