198.4 KFLX Fiction Radio

We're on a mission...to cram as much Blues Brothers history and content into this episode as possible!
The guys are taking on the music and movies of Elwood and Jake Blues (along with Buster, Mighty Mack and Cab) this week. Besides discussing the two films and numerous albums, we're talking about the real life band behind the brothers and looking at the way they were shaped, both inspirationally and literally, by the music coming out of Stax Records in the 1960s. And hey there's a quiz question in this one!

Expect the unexpected in the Kingdom Of Madness!We're headed for uncharted waters and into parts unknown with our first ever music-only episode! The "Macho Man" Randy Savage spent some time spittin' rhymes in the early 2000s and we're here to break down every single track on 2003's "Be a Man," an album centered around a diss track aimed at Hulk Hogan. This album swings bigger than Savage's baseball career and we're following all the threads to see who may have influenced (or been influenced by) Macho Man's rap opus. From Nelly to Ashanti and Snoop Dogg to Nate Dogg, it's a battle royale to find out which of Macho's tracks kicks the most butt!Plus the fellas get a super fun call from Matt Camp of AEW, Busted Open and Bleacher Report! Oooooh Yeeeah!🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/📧 FictionRadioPod@gmail.com

Shawn and Dustin can't fly on only one wing!This week we have another double-feature! We're putting the 1976 and 2012 versions of "Sparkle" head to head and breaking down the differences in characters, plot, and most importantly...the songs. With a soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield, we'll take a listen to not only the film versions of the music, but also the Aretha Franklin soundtrack album and a little bit of En Vogue for good measure.🌐 https://fictionradiopod.com📺 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5m4ZexCk3CIQCSRfrn016rzUMZbckidQ&si=4Y69FgIdE45rKYnDAll📷 https://www.instagram.com/kflxfictionradio/📧 FictionRadioPod@gmail.com
