Podcasts about High fidelity

In this episode, Andy and Patrick talk about High Fidelity...a movie with a flawed main character who isn't as bad as some folks would have you believe.

The verdict is in! The new self titled Megadeth album has found a regular spot on our stereos. And it's awesome! If this record is indeed the swan song for Dave and the Boyz, they can go out with their heads held high and their Horns in the air. This week we decided to take a cue from the amazing “High Fidelity” flick and share our Top 5 Megadeth albums...

The verdict is in! The new self titled Megadeth album has found a regular spot on our stereos. And it's awesome! If this record is indeed the swan song for Dave and the Boyz, they can go out with their heads held high and their Horns in the air. This week we decided to take a cue from the amazing "High Fidelity" flick and share our Top 5 Megadeth albums from their vast discography. And where exactly this new record fits it, if at all. Always makes for a great conversation. In our "News, Views and Tunes', our home state university USC brought home the gold in the Metallica Marching Band Competition!! Musically, we crank some New and Used from Agnostic Front, MDC, Laaz Rockit, 7 Year Bitch, Carnivore AD, Axe Victims and we introduce Brazilian bashers Stygian in our "Indie Spotlight'. Horns Up!!

Laci and Matt pay a visit to Championship Vinyl to hang out with Rob, Barry, Dick, Laura, Ian, Marie de Salle, and all the fine folks in the music scene of that windy city we like to call Chi-Town. That's right, it's High Fidelity (2000)! It's a great music movie. It's an even greater romantic comedy. In fact, it's kind of an anti-romantic comedy, because the lesson in the end is: The most romantic thing in life is being a grown-up.  Plus: Our top-five songs we want played at our funerals, AND fierce debate about whether DJs are musicians and if a singer's vocal chords count as an instrument.

Laci and Matt dive deep into When Harry Met Sally (1989), one of the all-time great romantic comedies. In a movie that could easily be dismissed as a clone of Woody Allen's early rom-coms, the film makes its mark with two superstar lead performances from Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, an electric script by Nora Ephron, and breezy, hilarious direction from Rob Reiner. We tell the story of how this movie came together, how it evolved during development, and how it became the classic we all know today. Then, your favorite husband-and-wife podcasting duo have a lengthy discussion about the movie itself, and folks, there are some heated battle-of-the-sexes arguments in this one. Because men do be like this, while women do be doing woman stuff, like makeup. Will they ever learn to get along???

In dieser Folge sprechen Christina und Florian über die Spiele, auf die sie sich 2026 freuen.

There are some books that are just known for going hand in hand with music .. High Fidelity by Nick Hornby or Bachelor Kisses by Nick Earls.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Brent and Dennis begin with a discussion about the design and manufacture of high-end audio cables courtesy of Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity. How much art is there to appreciate? How much science is there to check? And most importantly, which aspects of the article pissed off our curmudgeonly duo the most?  Speaking of being pissed off, Brent has a bone to pick with Erin Hardison over his most recent video about flat frequency response. You don't want to miss that. And finally for most listeners this week, Dennis finally gets to do an entire segment about King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, thanks to an AI clone of the band that popped up on streaming services. Did this whole story somehow prove that Google is more evil than Spotify? Perhaps!

Send us a textOh, hello there, you vinyl-vaulting philistines and cassette-clutching casuals. Another cycle spins on the turntable of existence, and this time we're cranking the volume on "The Power of Music"—films where the soundtrack isn't just background noise for your popcorn munching, but the beating heart, the narrative needle scratching deep into the grooves of the soul. We're talking movies where melodies manipulate fates, chords construct characters, and a killer riff can redeem or ruin everything. None of your elevator Muzak nonsense; this is the real symphonic stuff.But wait—because life's never just a solo act—our shake-up demands: Must Feature a Romance. Yes, a proper love story, the kind that twists like a warped 45, central or subplot, genre be damned. Heartstrings plucked alongside guitar strings, or haven't you heard?This week's selection? The one and only "High Fidelity," my personal mixtape manifesto. John Cusack (that's me in spirit, you plebs) as Rob Gordon, a record store tyrant cataloging his top five heartbreaks while rewinding his pathetic romantic résumé through blistering flashbacks and fourth-wall shatters. Laura dumps him (again), cue the existential playlist crisis, and suddenly he's remixing his life like a desperate DJ. Nick Hornby's novel on celluloid, directed by Stephen Frears, with a supporting cast of Jack Black bellowing Springsteen and Todd Louiso quoting chapter and verse from the indie bible. It's breakup as symphony, music as therapy, and romance as the ultimate B-side you can't skip.Tune in, or forever hold your peace in the bargain bin.

He also discusses how young people are collecting physical media again and the growing popularity of haunted houses.

Welcome to this week's episode and my convo with Rob Bach! (and I really struggled to name this episode this week because I could have also used: *High Fidelity Then And Always! *The 80's Were Something Else! *Can You Believe We Included Flock of Seagulls & Falco in One Episode? Anyone remember that oldie but goodie "Rock Me Amadeus?" Sheesh I love that song!) BUT, really, it's all about Rob, and his story this week- that of a powerful ancestry that reminded Rob again and again, that he could survive anything! From gunshot wounds to the head (yes, the person survived) to disability affecting lives, Rob and his family are a powerful reminder that with family and community, all is not lost. We talk music this episode, the movie "High Fidelity", Rob's time working in a record store, and how he ended up doing what he is doing now! To check out Rob and what kind of magic he's bringing into the world, click here! PLEASE CONSIDER RATING AND REVIEWING, IT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY! Your bit of beauty is this this week, a trailer for the movie "High Fidelity", an iconic representation of what it looked like at the time to work at a neighborhood record store, with all of it's quirky characters and real-life drama! Man oh man do I miss those record stores!

"Is it School of Rock, High Fidelity, or Jumanji? What truly defines Jack Black's most iconic performance?"Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into The Ringer's list of the 101 Best Movie Performances of the 21st Century, picking up at #73 and working their way through a cinematic rollercoaster of debate, nostalgia, and hilarious hot takes.From Jack Black's soulful scream in School of Rock to Val Kilmer's noir turn in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the crew passionately (and sometimes chaotically) breaks down each actor's most memorable role. Expect fiery disagreements, unexpected praise, and side-splitting commentary. Whether it's Tom Hanks surviving solo in Cast Away or Robert Pattinson's gritty performance in Good Time, this episode is a masterclass in movie nerdery—served with a heavy dose of comedy and chemistry that only this crew can deliver.

Video games and movies seem like a perfect fit. For whatever reasons, adaptations done in either direction do not seem to work so well. Over the past few years, there have been a number of familiar horror franchises turned into games. They have been multiplayer affairs with limited shelf life. What makes the Hellraiser video game different?We really enjoyed In a Violent Nature. It was unique, had some great kills, and had an excellent big bad. It left itself open for a sequel, but is that a good thing? Can a movie shot in this style sustain a franchise or should it be left alone? We talk about the next installment and talk about our reservations.Shaw Studios is responsible for some of the most influential and well-regarded kung-fu movies of all time. Even those who have never seen any of their films are likely familiar with names like Five Deadly Venoms and The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. The Battle Wizard definitely belongs on that list.Awesome martial arts fights. A villain with extending metal legs that can break rock. Limb cutting lasers. A protagonist that eats exotic animals. The Battle Wizard has it all and then some. And in between all the wackiness it has a surprisingly well written will they/won't they love story that will gross you out until it warms your heart.Terrestrial has a lot going for it. Its director helmed Hot Tub Time Machine and co-wrote Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity. The cast includes Jermaine Fowler and Pauline Chalamet. The premise is a fan favorite that has been used in screwball comedies and sitcoms. So, what happened?The writing is surprisingly dodgy. There is a science fiction aspect that does nothing to the story but seems like it is supposed to be something very important. Even worse, the characters are very poorly done. Most tellingly, Terrestrial goes out of its way to turn the main character into an awful person that is impossible to get behind. Which makes the movie impossible to enjoy.

As time goes on the games and the consoles we grew up with have a hard time keeping up with modern technology. Plug in your NES or Sega Genesis into a modern HD TV and it just doesn't feel the way you remember it. You may ask, did my games always look and play like this? The answer no. Well sort of... Returning to the show today is my good friend Try from the YouTube channel My Life in Gaming, and we do a pretty thorough overview of what to do to play your retro game systems and retro games on modern televisions.

Jeffrey Seller is an Tony Award-winning American theatrical producer best known for his work on Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights, and Hamilton, as well as inventing Broadway's first rush ticket and lottery ticket policies. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1986, Jeffrey moved to New York City where he worked, as a publicist, booking agent, and producer. With his business partner Kevin McCollum he produced three Best Musical Tony Award-winning Broadway shows; Rent, Avenue Q, and In the Heights. With increasingly expensive Broadway ticket prices, Seller and McCollum invented Broadway's first rush ticket policy early on in the production of Rent. The idea was to keep the show accessible for people “in their 20s and 30s, artists, Bohemians-the people for whom Jonathan Larson wrote the show.” A select number of front row tickets would be sold for $20 on a first come per-serve basis. Rush tickets became so popular that people began to sleep on the streets outside the theater to get a spot at the front of the line. Out of concern for the safety of those who participated in the Rush policy Seller and McCollum created Broadway's first lottery ticket policy, which kept cheap tickets accessible to a young audience by selling $20 tickets to the winners of a drawing. Together Seller and McCollum also produced De La Guarda, Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, High Fidelity, and the revival of WestSide Story. After working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights, he produced Hamilton. Hamilton has gone on to receive widespread critical acclaim and commercial success. In June 2016, Hamilton received 11 Tony awards of a record-breaking 16 nominations, including a Best Musical win for Seller, making it his fourth Tony Award. He is the author of the memoir, Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Brought to you by the team that brought you Wolf 359, you know it's going to be good. Faith Adler has crossed the country to spend the summer in NYC. There she meets David, and the two of them quickly get mired in ... something. It's complicated. Together with friends Tori, Matt, and Ginah, Faith and David navigate situationships, friendships, found family, and all the messiness of being young. Faith is a DJ, and that pretty much describes how she approaches life — willing to scratch, skip, mute, sample, and even reverse until things start to make some sort of sense. If you love Community, High Fidelity, and Fleabag, this show definitely has your name on it. Listen to the Director's Intro with Gabriel Urbina, then head over to Audible for the full listen.

That's right - our old friends Eiffel and Hilbert are back with important news! There's a new audio fiction series called Hit Singles, created by Wolf 359 creator Gabriel Urbina and produced by Urbina, Sarah Shachat, and Zach Valenti! It's a romantic comedy all about friendship, love, the struggles of trying to make it in a big city, and loving music way too much. You can listen to the show over on Audible. If you have an Audible Plus membership, you can listen to it at no additional cost. (And if you still have a free trial, you can listen to it for free for 30 days.) Besides the show's three producers, you'll also hear Wolf 359 alumni Noah Masur, Zach Libresco, Michelle Agresti, and Mary Kate Wiles in the series. (As well as veterans from many of our sibling series, such as The Bright Sessions, Life With Leo(h), and 36 Questions!) It was a real labor of love, and we'd love to help it find as wide an audience as it can. So please check it out, and, if you love it as much as we think you will, please leave a rating and a review. Here is the official description for Hit Singles: From the creators of the hit audio drama Wolf 359 and with original music by Jeremy Warmsley comes a modern story about friendship, love, and chosen family starring Evangeline Young (Emergence), Nicholas Podany (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), Simone Policano (Blue Bloods), Julia Rehwald (Fear Street), Briggon Snow (Masters of Sex) and a full cast. A captivating listen perfect for fans of New Girl and High Fidelity. When struggling DJ Faith Adler comes to couch surf with her best friend Tori in NYC, she finds herself drawn into the world of Tori's eclectic friend group. Right from her chaotic first night, Faith's new friends take her under their wing and help her navigate the ups and downs of trying to make it as an artist in the big city. There's Tori, the bubbly one; Ginah, the high-strung but loyal one; Matt, the flirtatious one; and David, the cynical one. Tori and Ginah's apartment becomes a sanctuary where lasting bonds are forged over late nights, drink-filled conversations, impromptu dance parties, and the occasional Sense and Sensibility marathon. Falling in love definitely isn't part of Faith's plan, but that all changes when she meets David, a former law student (and current bartender) who has recently come to the conclusion that romance is for suckers and sworn it off altogether. From the moment they meet at a New Year's in the Summer party, their will-they-or-won't-they chemistry is electric. As Faith and David grow closer over whiskey-soaked nights and heart-to-heart talks on the fire escape, their flirtation deepens into something more meaningful. Are they friends? Lovers? Romantic partners? Casual sex acquaintances? The answer is, simultaneously, all and none of the above. Let the overthinking commence! With rich character development and an ensemble cast that feels like friends you've known forever, Hit Singles deftly balances comedy, romance, and poignant drama. It's a beautifully rendered celebration of the family we choose, the cities that choose us back, and the life-altering power of human connection. * * * Today's message features the sound effect UI Seatbelt Signal by newlocknew.
