Episode 68: Vision Quest

The OST Party

This week's episode is brought to you by an unquenchable thirst for 80s teen romance of the worst kind. 1985's Vision Quest follows Matthew Modine as a high school senior training for the big wrestling match while also lusting after Linda Fiorentino, the drifter who somehow winds up living in his house. It's an after-school special about eating disorders that thinks it's a profound, Salinger-esque statement on growing up.

But don't let that fool you, because the soundtrack is stacked with hits!

We get radio rock hits from Journey, Foreigner and Sammy Hagar. We get a pair of dance-pop hits courtesy of Madonna. Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe", Ronnie James Dio, The Style Council and more! So strap on your rubber tracksuit and join us for one hell of a workout!
