  • A podcast after my own heart.

    For years liking movie scores was seen as very uncool especially when your young but as the years have gone by I have discovered so many fellow mates and others out there love them too. Erik Woods and his team are my kind of fans and listening to this podcast just cements why I love film music so much. It’s like sitting in a room and being part of their conversation. Keep up the good work

  • Movie Music & Mental Musings

    Erik Woods and the whole team behind the content on this superb long running podcast is extensive in its back catalogue. Prolific in its output and relentless in getting both popular contemporary subjects covered but also exploring vintage music and characters behind them. Simply unmissable. Subscribe and you won’t be disappointed. Why it’s taken me years before adding a review is unforgivable.

  • Incredible!

    This review is for Talking Soundtracks, specifically the Steve C. Smith interview episodes.

    Amazing production value with particularly good editing. The interview was super interesting and sounded great. The hosts voice is so hypnotic I could listen to him all day.

    This is a great project and you should definitely give it a listen. Really big variety is a definite plus.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scored To Death Radio: Celebrating 50 Years of Rocky
Q: Do you remember what the first theme you wrote for Rocky was? What was the first music you wrote for Rocky?
Conti says the first music he wrote was a sad, plinky tune for Rocky as a loser, reflecting that he was a good person but had not yet succeeded.
Scored To Death Radio: Celebrating 50 Years of Rocky
Q: How did you become involved with the film?
Bill Conti says editor Richard Halsey connected him with director John Avildsen after they had worked together on Harry and Tonto. Conti later joined the project when other composers declined its low-budget terms.
Talking Soundtracks: Interview With Michael Abels
Q: How did you build a tension of this score? About 45 minutes of all that tension at the start of the movie, it really grabs you. How did you manage to build all that tension for all that time, until you actually saw one of the creatures for the first time?
Abels says the music plays with audience expectations, adding tension without pushing every scene to its limit. He uses background details, restraint and silence, sometimes withholding progression so the audience waits without knowing when something will happen.
Talking Soundtracks: Interview With Michael Abels
Q: Now, how did you first get involved with Hope?
Director Na Hong-jin contacted Abels after hearing his scores for Jordan Peele's films and sent him the script. Abels watched The Wailing, admired its artistry and emotional impact, and became eager to work with the director.
Talking Soundtracks: Interview With Steven Price
Q: When did you first get involved with Coyote Vs. Acme and how did the project come to you?
I was contacted after reading the script and aligning with the director's vision; the process involved many conversations about how to translate the tone and humor into music, leading to a collaborative scoring approach.
