Fireside Chats Issue 186: Pump Up the Jams
Check 1...2...Check...Check...Greetings and salutations Firesiders! On this sonically charged issue of Fireside Chats the guys dive into a topic close to their hearts. Music. For Mendte, Mr. Maurer, and Baby Huey, music is closely associated with their favorite super heroes. Mendte can't see an image of Batman without hearing Danny Elfman's classic Batman theme. Mr. Maurer gets angry if "The Lonely Man Theme" isn't playing when Hulk is on screen. Meanwhile Baby Huey can't stop humming the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song anytime he sees Mikey. (It drives the rest of Fireside nuts!) All shows and movies had distinct and catchy theme songs back in the day. So much so that they became intertwined with the memories of these beloved characters. In recent years this has evolved into something new. With Guardians of the Galaxy and Suicide Squad opting for heartfelt 80's mix-tapes instead of actual themes. This sparked the interest of the guys here at Fireside. So sit back, plug in those headphones, and pump up Fireside Chats. Welcome to Fireside!
