“I have discovered this podcast quite late but have practically listened to the entire series back-to-back over the last few weeks. I have long since been a fan of film scores ever since my first viewing of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, E.T., Titanic, and so many more.
I am so glad that you guys have taken the time to do a deep dive into many different scores. The podcast is fantastic in that it is pitched not just in a way that is insightful to music aficionados — those who know their minors from majors, and can sense the underlying Dies Irae in everything — but is also accessible and indeed enjoyable to those without formal training. I often find myself finishing the sentences of the presenters, which really makes me feel as if I am in like minded company.
The contextualisation of the scores and individual pieces in terms of the history of each composer and in wider film history and the commentary of where films sit in the timeline of cinema history really add to the discussions.
Last, it must be said that Andrew, Nicholas, and Dan are all hugely knowledgeable and entertaining, and the chemistry between the presenters makes the podcast even more engaging.
Looking forward to episodes on E.T, Titanic, and several on The Lord of the Rings…🤞🏻”
