What happens when you mix classic movie nostalgia, killer soundtrack memories, and a brand-new show idea for 2026? You get Robert and Gary going full “midnight movie era” while welcoming Austin Roy—local actor/musician/composer and the guy who’s about to become your official soundtrack co-pilot next year.
This episode bounces from Heavy Metal (and that Mob Rules moment that melted brains) to the glory days of Footloose and Rocky IV, with detours into Kevin Bacon trauma, Olympic Training Center Rocky viewing, and one unforgettable confession: Gary picked Cobra for a group movie night… and is still paying for it decades later.
Plus: Austin introduces himself, talks acting (including his zombie role in Dead Trigger with Dolph Lundgren), and you guys open the floor to the audience—because 2026 is about to bring a whole new run of soundtrack deep dives.
