  • Will Always Relisten to Episodes

    This is a go-to relisten podcast for me! Listening to Alex and Steph talk feels like sitting with your two friends as they gab about their most recent movie watches. I especially enjoy when they talk about the fun facts and information involved in the making of the movies. For new movies that I’m interested enough to know what happens, I know I can trust Alex and Steph to give me the play-by-play!

    I started listening to an episode on the movie No Other Choice- and 15 minutes in (without warning) they spoiled the ending of Marty Supreme for me! 😢 Listener beware.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scoring Superman, Widow's Bay, and more with composer David Fleming 🎶🍿
Q: How do you balance nostalgia with innovation when adapting well-known themes?
By keeping the emotional core of the original while recontextualizing it through new chords and textures, making it feel like a natural evolution rather than a copy.
Scoring Superman, Widow's Bay, and more with composer David Fleming 🎶🍿
Q: What was it like collaborating with Hans Zimmer and how did that shape your own scoring voice?
Working with Hans was about learning to be collaborative, understanding the film deeply, and then finding my own corner within that ecosystem to contribute while respecting his approach.
Scoring Superman, Widow's Bay, and more with composer David Fleming 🎶🍿
Q: How did you approach creating a sound for Widow's Bay that respects the original material but feels fresh?
I treated it as a mystery first, letting the score describe a world you want to linger in, while allowing room for horror moments and humor to coexist without whiplash.
FIGHT CLUB (1999)
Q: Do you have a favorite Spielberg movie?
He talked about Close Encounters and ET as meaningful experiences from childhood, noting how certain scenes stay with him and how those films influenced his perception of cinema.
TOY STORY (1995)
Q: What made Toy Story revolutionary in animation and storytelling?
The hosts point to the in-house RenderMan engine, the first full CGI feature with a seamless blend of hand-drawn and computer animation, and the way the story balances a simple buddy plot with deep emotional stakes.
