Top Ten of 2025

Top Ten of 2025

New year, new list! It's been another whole year of KFLX, so the guys are counting down their top songs of 2025! Lots of great movies and songs were released last year, but technically the guys can choose from any music that was *new to them* during the process of recording last year, which may lead to some fun surprises.

Get Crazy

It's a New Years movie! "Get Crazy" is a wild and spoofy film that we had never heard of, but it's the perfect way to end the year. This is awesome 80s goodness featuring a young Daniel Stern as he tries to put together a concert to save the Saturn Theatre. It features acts such as Reggie Wanker – a smug British solo rocker, Captain Cloud – leader of a hippie collective, King Blues – writer of many famous Blues tunes, Nada – a new wave/glam rock act, and Auden – a singer/songwriter who looks suspiciously like Lou Reed, and we're covering all of their music and more in our final episode of 2025! 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com 📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll 📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/ 📧 FictionRadioPod@gmail.com

Love Actually

At Christmas, you tell the truth... And the truth is, we're covering "Love Actually" this week in the first episode of the holiday season. This movie of intertwined character pieces is full of dated takes on dating in the early-2000s UK, but we're going to zero in on one very important cover song that ties all the stories together: Billy Mack’s gloriously cynical Christmas cover of The Troggs’ “Love Is All Around.” We’ll unwrap several other versions of the song as well as take a listen to Bill Nighy’s surprisingly extensive singing résumé! 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com [https://fictionradiopod.com] 📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll] 📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/ [https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/] 📧 FictionRadioPod@gmail.com

Rock Star

What happens when a superfan gets called up to sing for their favorite heavy metal band? A kinda...kinda weird movie happens. Mark Wahlberg is the titular "Rock Star" in this 2001 film that was largely overshadowed by a national tragedy. We're digging into Marky Mark, as well as a number of real-life voices behind the singing in this movie, which is sort of based on a true story. And yeah, we have another one of those near-misses when trying to suss out the inspiration for one of the tunes. Can you help us?! 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com [https://fictionradiopod.com] 📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll] 📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/ [https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/] 📧 FictionRadioPod@gmail.com

Almost Famous

This episode is more fun than an emotionally charged summer road trip with a famous band in the 1970s! We're doing Cameron Crowe again this week, this time with the 2000 film "Almost Famous" and the band at the heart of it - Stillwater! We'll cover all the nods to other 70s rockers – intended or not – plus get some behind-the-scenes info on how these songs came together with the help of Peter Frampton, and Nancy Wilson from Heart. Also, as with our last Crowe flick, there is a grunge element. Plus, caller Aviv Rubenstien hits us with an absolute deluge of Almost Famous facts and goodies! 🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com [https://fictionradiopod.com] 📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll] 📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/ [https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/] 📧 FictionRadioPod@gmail.com [FictionRadioPod@gmail.com]
