This week on The Tracklist, we dive headfirst into the film that some people swear is a cult classic … and others (hi, Daron 👋) swear at. That’s right — we’re talking Empire Records (1995).
With a soundtrack that slaps harder than the film’s Rotten Tomatoes critic score (a tragic 35%), Chris (@chrissaunders_music) and Daron (@thedaronjenkins) dissect why the music might be the only thing holding this Gen X rollercoaster together. From Gin Blossoms to the great “Rex Manning Day” debate, we’re breaking down the hits, the misses, and the moments that made this movie a cult fave — even if the plot is messier than a Record Store Day sale.
