It was a box-office flop that got a second-wind on cable TV because the music is just that good! 1984's "Eddie and the Cruisers" is one of those movies so revered for its fictional music that it's honestly a little crazy that we're just now getting to it. And this is a double-feature, because we're covering "Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!" as well! Packed full of songs that could top the real world charts (including some that actually did!), we had a lot of fun breaking down the tunes from both movies, all provided by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Yes, we'll dive into some Springsteen comparisons. How could you not when every sax-filled rock song on these soundtracks is absolutely dripping with New Jersey-ness? But there's more to explore here than just The Boss.
