Today on Soundtracker, I'm talking about what is possibly the greatest song written for a fictional band in a film, as I'm joined by Kill Radio author Lauren Bolger (@renBolger) to talk about Tom Hanks' charming directorial feature debut, THAT THING YOU DO! In this episode, we talk about why the song is so important to the movie, the effortless charm of the film and why the low-stakes nature of the plot is so beneficial to that, why we want Steve Zahn in every movie again, and the other great songs on the soundtrack.
