Episode 4: Cool World

Alright you 'noids, brace yourselves because this week we're diving into a world full of early-90s EDM, horny cel animation and acid-washed cartoon freakouts. That's right, on this episode we're talking about COOL WORLD, Ralph Bakshi's 1992 Roger Rabbit-inspired fever dream starring Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger and Gabriel Byrne.

This is an album loaded with '80s dance holdovers, early-90s mainstays and the odd industrial track, because that's just how we rolled in 1992. Find out what makes this album tick, how many times The Cult squeezed "The Witch" for a few extra bucks, how the film can be viewed through the lens of postwar PTSD, and a whole lot more!
