To celebrate the launch of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), Strictly Soundtracks previews some of the films included in the 2026 program.

With 2026 now past the halfway mark, the Strictly Soundtracks team catches up on the films we missed along the way. Some were underappreciated, some were overlooked and some simply didn’t have enough songs on their soundtrack to warrant a full episode. So we’re righting those wrongs and turning the spotlight on the blockbusters (Project Hail Mary), the surprise hits (Obsession), the queer gems (Pillion, Leviticus ) and the monster movies (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Drama). The post 2026… So Far appeared first on Strictly Soundtracks.

Strictly Soundtracks explores the music featured in “Heartstopper Forever”, the movie-length finale to the beloved coming-of-age series.

The streaming series Half Man may be a tough watch, but its soundtrack is packed with classic synth-pop belters and iconic anthems. Starring Richard Gadd and Jamie Bell, the series tells the story of two polar-opposite stepbrothers whose lives remain inextricably linked over three decades.
