  • 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!

  • Not enough about soundtracks

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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

596: Charlotte Regan & Composer Patrick Jonsson On The Music Of Mint
Q: What were the start of conversations in terms of the role of music, both score and needle drops, and the opening theme?
The conversation began with establishing Shannon's perspective as the grounding through which music is approached, then expanding to include a love theme as a narrative anchor. They experimented with numerous versions for the opening track before settling on a track that felt right emotionally and culturally, recognizing that needle drops and score should work together to support character and story rather than compete.
595: 'Sonny' Lee Sung Jin On The Music Of Beef
Q: So great. Music is a big part of your creative process by the sounds of it, in terms of making playlists whilst you're writing. How does that help?
Sonny explains that growing up in a musical family shaped his approach to storytelling through music, and that chord progressions map onto narrative beats, guiding how score and needle drops intersect with character arcs.
586: Oliver Laxe On The Music Of Sirat
Q: What was the most memorable day from the shoot for you?
Shooting on the rave was powerful, capturing the essence of dancing with reality.
