  • Infuriated by thoughtless spoiler

    I listened to the episode on 28 years later :The Bone Temple. Edith gave away a massive spoiler about the end of the film. It was obvious what and whom she was referring to. Totally spoiled it. Very disappointed 👎

  • Good Show!

    Good show, a lot of great research and good questions. Edith is a good interviewer but often gets in the way of the answers with hysterical laughter, often for seemingly no reason except for too much coffee perhaps. I could also do without the long intros prior to cutting to the guests, get on with it!

    What started out as a very interesting podcast about film and television soundtracks has shifted to more general star and director interviews.

Q: What was the catalyst of wanting to tell this version of Robin Hood, and how did your own experiences shape it?

625: Michael Sarnoski & Jodie Comer [Live At Soundtracking Film Club At Everyman In Partnership With Range Rover]
Q: Do you play music on set, or is the music primarily shaped in post?
There was light musical direction on set for mood, but most of the shaping happened in editing and with the collaboration of the music team, ensuring the score supports the film's emotional rhythm.
624: Michael Giacchino On The Music Of Spider-Man: Brand New Day & Other Projects
Q: What drove your approach to reworking the Spider-Man main theme for this incarnation?
Giancchino explains that returning to the theme involved stripping away nonessential notes to reveal the core emotional identity of the character, allowing the score to grow naturally as Peter Parker evolves.
