No, the flick doesn't have anything to do with game shows. It's sort of a dark comedy, murder mystery kind of thing. You can read the mostly favorable reviews at Rotten Tomatoes if you want to know more. The stars of the movie are making the media rounds. Several of them gave an interview to a smarmy TV guy.
The reason for this seemingly irrelevant post is that the interview makes a passing reference to "cheesy game show music." I've seen this phrase maybe 44 million times, give or take a million. It vaguely irritates me.
Sure, some game show ditties are a little on the curd-and-whey side. But you could also call them bouncy and upbeat. Doesn't The Price is Right's theme song make you want to stand up and act like a maniac and run down to the stage and knock over Drew Carey? Well, even if the song doesn't do that, it's still an pleasant tune that doesn't hurt anybody, not even Drew.
The "cheesy music" putdown is just one more example of how our little genre gets no respect. I bet Rodney Dangerfield liked game show music. Or even if he didn't, he should have.
