Needle Drops
For anyone who was fully invested in a beautiful display of cinema playing out before them…popcorn in hand, emotions racing, everything about this moment is perfect…and then…the needle drops. This is for you.
Nick and Jordan share two passions: movies and music. Together they set out to give an in-depth look into the how, the why, and the eventual moment your favorite songs made it into your favorite scenes on screen. Some familiar that gave you that nostalgic feeling and maybe some new discoveries that were added to the playlist.
New episodes debut biweekly on Tuesdays.
Needle Drops
"Magic Man" in The Virgin Suicides
In the second installment of our Sofia Coppola retrospective, we discuss how Heart's 1976 hit single "Magic Man" is used in a pivotal scene in The Virgin Suicides (1999). We also discuss other needle drops featured in the film including The Hollies' "The Air I Breathe," Electric Light Orchestra's "Strange Magic," Styx's "Come Sail Away" and 10cc's "I'm Not in Love." To quote Jordan, let 2024 be the year of the Hartnettissance!
