You clocked it—one of my cabinets is mysteriously emptier, and it’s because I pulled every soundtrack vinyl I own so we could yap about them. I’m a soundtrack lover through and through (ex film student behavior), so I genuinely love both original scores and the “curated playlist” style soundtracks that capture the exact vibe of a movie, show, or game. I break everything down by category—video games, TV, and movies—and I talk pressings, exclusives, and which ones I actually reach for when I want comfort, nostalgia, or just a good background spin. On the video game side, I’ve only got two right now (I’m a watcher more than a player, okay): Minecraft Volume Alpha and The Sims 25th anniversary release—both are beautiful exclusives and both are insanely calming/fun to throw on. TV shows? Shockingly, I only have Daisy Jones & The Six: Aurora, but the soundtrack is so legit it’s wild to remember they’re fictional. And then we get into the big movie stack: Shrek 2 (yes, maybe my favorite movie of all time), Ratatouille, High School Musical 2 and 3, Zombies, The NeverEnding Story (glitter flecks!), Tick Tick Boom, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (etching supremacy), Josie and the Pussycats, Lady Bird, Love, Simon, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and of course… three different Wicked variants because hi, I love Wicked.
