Soundtrack to What I Watched 2025

Around July 1st, 2025, I started making a playlist with one or two songs from each of the movies and TV shows I watched.

The playlist serves two purposes. First, it is a record of what I have watched. Sure, I could use letterbox, and I still might one day. But I like making playlists.

Second, it creates an interesting and diverse listening experience. I often include both a song from the score written for the movie or TV show and a “needle drop,” that is a pre-existing song. So you get songs vocal and instrumental, old and new, and from many different genres.

The songs are listed in the order I watched, but I like to listen on shuffle play.

Please enjoy this souvenir of my watching experience in the second half of 2025. Here are the songs on the playlist:
