This week on The Soundtrack, Haley Taylor invites you to spend New Year’s Eve the best way she knows how: watching movies that reflect, reset, and reimagine the year ahead. From the bittersweet romance of The Apartment to the emotional arc of When Harry Met Sally, the toxic elegance of Phantom Thread, and the quiet revelation of Ikiru, this episode explores four films where music and story meet at turning points in time. Sunday at 6pm.
