This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we're heading back to the 1980s to celebrate the movie soundtracks that became just as memorable as the films themselves.

We'll also be digging into some lesser-known soundtrack gems and asking whether some of the big hitters are actually a little overrated!And then comes the big question... was the 1980s the greatest decade ever for movie soundtracks? Expect plenty of nostalgia, plenty of music, a few controversial choices and, inevitably, a Rocky montage or two! 🎧If you enjoy what we do and want to help us grow — including our goal of becoming a visual, on-camera podcast — you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated), here's the link should you feel inclined...https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughs Hosted on Acast.
