About this listen
In this gripping episode of The Tracklist, hosts Daron Jenkins (@thedaronjenkins) and Chris Saunders (@chrissaunders_music) dive deep into Platoon (1986)—Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning war epic that redefined Vietnam cinema. We break down the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, anchored by Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and how it shaped the emotional tone of the film. From The Doors to Motown classics, we explore how Platoon’s music elevated its brutal realism and gave voice to the soldiers’ inner turmoil.
We also spotlight the all-star cast—Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, Forest Whitaker—and Keith David who just received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
