S1 E8 • Beverly Hills Cop (1984) “Look man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!” In this episode, the boys don their letterman jackets and dive headfirst into the 1984 tour-de-force that is the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. A synth-drenched ode to the sound of US top-40s radio in the 1980s punctuated by a whole tailpipe full of patented SSSM nonsense. From the iconic and ever-present character theme of "Axel F", through to the suburban Dad anthem that is Glenn Frey’s "The Heat Is On", and the mind-blowingly catchy "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters. This album does nothing by halves and it's not one to be missed. Beyond the music - You'll be astounded at how much weird rage Tom can conjure up towards the word "Synthwave" and you'll be delighted as Dave recounts how this film took him two steps closer to manhood via the medium of workout lycra. So get your ears ready for an aural ridealong with the boys through the sun-drenched track listing of this 80s classic.
