#169 - Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice

Is streaming the new straight-to-video? Let’s dive into this disappointing flick that missed the mark. Tag a friend who needs to hear this! We just wrapped up a discussion on the film "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice" and let me tell you, it was a letdown. With a star-studded cast including Vince Vaughn and James Marsden, expectations were high. What went wrong? The writing felt off, and while the performances had their moments, they couldn’t save the film from being boring. It’s a missed opportunity with so much potential in the cast. The dialogue didn’t escalate, and many scenes lacked payoff. If we hadn’t been watching for the podcast, we might have enjoyed it more—but even then, it just didn’t deliver the laughs. What’s your take on films that don’t live up to the hype?

#168 - This is Spinal Tap (1984)

This week on The Tracklist, Daron and Chris are strapping in for the loudest, most ridiculous, and somehow most earnest rock soundtrack ever committed to film: This Is Spinal Tap (1984). Rob Reiner's mockumentary masterpiece didn't just parody '80s heavy metal — it became it. The music in this film is the joke AND the heart, and that's a genuinely hard thing to pull off. From Big Bottom to Hell Hole to the haunting, Stonehenge-adjacent opus Stonehenge, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer wrote and performed every track themselves — and somehow made songs that are both hysterically bad and undeniably catchy. We're breaking down the score, the songs, the performances, and asking the real question: Is this a Cult Classic?

#166 - Dope (2015)

The Tracklist is back, and this week we're diving deep into one of the most criminally underrated soundtracks of the 2010s — the Dope (2015) tracklist. Director Rick Famuyiwa's coming-of-age crime-comedy was a love letter to '90s hip-hop culture.
