Avid fans have already guessed where the title of the podcast originated. That Thing You Do was a classic cult film of the '90s. The movie starred Tom Hanks and Liv Tyler and paid homage to '60s music and pop bands. It celebrated artistic enthusiasm and collaboration. Most bands that formed since then can quote just about every line from the movie. The cohosts take this movie and their craft seriously.
