A podcast about music, movies and life.

Please meet our better halves! This week, Kathleen Gallacher and Roe Sie have entered the chat. We discuss their hobbies, careers, favorite songs, special movies, and quirkiest habits... all topped off with a nail-biting round of The Newlywed Game. 

Roe's favorite thing this week is his sourdough starter and Kathleen's is her Line A Day journal.

Now it's Liz's turn to create her perfect dinner party. Setting the tone musically and scoring an event comes naturally to Liz, of course... plus she's a terrific chef. So we can assume the music is on point and the menu is divine. But you'll never guess who she's invited and what she has in store for the night. 

Also, this week, Trish's favorite thing is Dr. Laurie Santos' podcast, THE HAPPINESS LAB.

Creating a dream dinner party isn't so different from filmmaking. There's lighting, production design, set dressing, storyline, pacing, interpersonal chemistry, music supervision and even costuming to consider. Plus food, of course!

This week, Trish walks us through her perfect fantasy dinner party, leaving no detail unexplored. Her playlists for every stage of the evening are linked below.

You can find the game Wavelength here.

Also, this week, Liz's favorite thing is English chocolate. She introduces Trish to her top four varieties and we rank them!

This week, Liz and Trish decided to shelve the scheduled episode to talk instead about something pressing and personal—the devastating fires in Los Angeles. In light of the ongoing crisis, they reflect on the overwhelming emotions of helplessness, anger, and hope that so many are grappling with.

To help process, Liz has curated a playlist of songs for the planet. This playlist ranges from uplifting and inspirational tracks to more raw and angry anthems, capturing the wide spectrum of emotions we experience in the face of disaster. Whether you need a moment of catharsis or a spark of hope, this collection offers something for everyone.

This week Trish's favorite thing is the power of bravery—the bravery of first responders, of course, but also the everyday heroes: people showing up for their neighbors, the animals surviving the chaos, and everyone coming together to face the unthinkable. Bravery is showing up, even when the odds feel insurmountable, and Trish celebrates the courage on display in these unimaginable times.

No cocktail this week—just a gentle nudge to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated, especially in times of stress. Take care of yourselves!

This week, we examine and discuss the movie Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), diving into the iconic soundtrack and the way it underscores the film's characters, storylines, comedy, and themes.

Also, Trish's favorite thing this week is the book THE RED TAROT, by diviner and educator Christopher Marmolejo.

In preparation for 2025, we're celebrating and imagining what might lie ahead. From musicians and filmmakers we're watching, to composers we'd love to hire to score the entire year-- join us in laying out a smorgasbord of exciting possibilities.

Also, Trish's favorite thing this week is fingerless gloves.

Happy holidays to all! This week, we're exploring Christmas songs made famous by the movies in which they first appeared.

Plus, Liz's favorite thing is The Corduroy Cuddle, which may or may not lead to a new career as a Professional Cuddle Service Provider.

Does the world need another year-end list? Probably not. But we put our own spin on one anyway. Songs and movies to ring out the year, On Cue-style.

Plus, Trish's favorite thing this week is rodent contraceptive.

Up here in the Northern hemisphere, as the shortest day of the year draws near, we're snuggling up with our honeys and sharing our perfect movie date nights, complete with soundtracks, heartwarming films, and sexy songs. Light a candle or two and join us!

Plus, Liz's favorite thing this week is the bundle of family films she's seen in 2024 with her son, Oliver and her wife, Kathleen.

How do we get permission to use a song in film or TV? Who needs to be paid, and what's the process? With years of experience under her belt, Liz gets into the nitty gritty of music clearances and dishes the dirt on which artists are hard to clear, which artists she loves to place in projects, and what issues you never knew had to be considered along the way.

Also Trish's favorite thing this week is a hardboiled egg.
