25. Martyn James - My Movie DNA
Listen now
Description
In episode 25, Johnny talks to music A&R man Martyn James. Martyn works for Universal Music in London and is one of the lucky few who gets to dig into the vaults of bands and solo artists to find things to put out on reissues and box sets.  He was also part of the team that put together the Oasis documentary Supersonic back in 2016, directed by Mat Whitecross.   Johnny's talk with Martyn covers Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve and Hans Zimmer, they talk about how you can get into the music business through teaching pilates, and they discuss having to lie for a whole year about seeing Terminator 2 as an 11-year-old when you really went to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze.  This conversation was recorded online in mid-March 2024. Thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant music (check out James' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loco Looper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.   You can contact My Movie DNA on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @mymovieDNA or email [email protected].
