    the Sonic 3 movie is 100% a kids movie but somehow radiating with Millennial Particles. They got The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy on the soundtrack. I know who they’re really trying to appeal to

    It's Star Wars, yeah -- the characters have silly names ...you don't put them in the title >w> Call it like "The Mandalorian and The Child" or "The Mandalorian and The Prodigy" or something. "The Mandalorian and Grogu" does not sound like the title of a real movie.

    The 4K edition of Event Horizon is on Prime. A peak 90's sci-fi horror B-movie that somehow ended up with an ensemble cast featuring Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neil absolutely delivering. There's end credits music by The Prodigy just to hammer home how peak 90's it is. #Filmsky 🎬 🎥 🍿

    Ive said before that the mid 90s brought dance music to lots of audiences (musically for better or for worse).. The Prodigy brought the metal crowd to dance music while Underworlds involvement on the Trainspotting film attracted the indie crowds..

    Very solid pick. This movie was a lifechanger for me... Breathtaking choreography aside, about 70 percent of the music I've listened to for the last 4 years was discovered through the soundtrack. Juno Reactor, Oakenfold, Rob Dougan, Don Davis' work, The Prodigy... I love watching Reloaded so much.
