Score Cue Snapshots!
  • Ep. 198 - Miles Goodman's 'Teen Wolf'

    'Teen Wolf' is one of those rare 80s gems that has stood the test of time. Being a massive commercial success (grossing $80+ million) at the time with a budget only a little above $1 million, there is no question that what makes this film incredibly special is Michael J. Fox in the leading role.

  • Ep. 197 - James Horner's 'Willow'

    'I am the greatest swordsman that ever lived.'

    There is no question that the original film is something quite special. With Val Kilmer's incredible performance as Madmartigan, to Warwick Davis' as the delightful Willow, it is quite possibly one of James Horner's best scores to-date.

    Lawrence Kasdan has written and/or directed some of the best films ever made (The Bodyguard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars Ep 5-7, Silverado, etc.), and 'The Big Chill' ranks up as one of the best comedy-drama films to-date. The film itself also features one of the best movie soundtrack comp...

    Who can forget the 1991 romantic comedy with Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and the great Martin Short? We love this film, and its fantastic jazzy score by Alan Silvestri. This again is a wonderful snapshot of Silvestri's composing genius, as he takes an instinctual wedding theme and transforms it i...

    We absolutely love Don Bluth, and what better way to celebrate his work than featuring a snapshot from his 2000 film, 'Titan A.E.'? This scene is just simply fun. Featuring a track by The Urge, it really showcases great original animation with good fun music. Enjoy!

  • Ep. 189 - Howard Shore's 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'

    Again, there is no question that Howard Shore's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy (along with his 'Hobbit' trilogy) are some of his best work to-date. This track is especially epic, dynamic, gorgeous, dark, but also heartfelt and emotional. There wasn't one person in the theater that wasn't shedding a ...

  • Ep. 188 - Mamo All-Stars' 'The Mambo Kings'

    This is a great film that most don't know about. The 1992 musical drama was based on the 1989 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel 'The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love' by Oscar Hijuelos. Starring the great Armand Assante and Antonio Banderas, they actually did their own singing, and studied to master the...

    Who can forget Verhoeven's neo-nor thriller from 1992? No-one. This is a masterpiece by Jerry Goldsmith, and it garnered him nominations for both an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award.

    Goldsmith said, "Basic Instinct was probably the most difficult I've ever done. It's a very convoluted story...

  • Ep. 186 - Howard Shore's 'The Rings of Power'

    Tolkien fans around the world have been waiting for this show for quite some time, and even though the amazing score is composed by Bear McCreary, the producers brought back Howard Shore to compose the 'Main Title'. The last time Shore had composed work for The Hobbit/LOTR was back in 2013, so it...

  • Ep. 185 - Andrew Kawczynski, Zimmer & Balfe's 'Top Gun Maverick'

    SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't seen this film, do not watch this clip!

  • Ep. 184 - Jim Morrison's 'The Doors' (feat. Val Kilmer)

    Oliver Stone's films are always filled with controversy, but there is something visceral, thought provoking, and beautiful about each one of them. 'The Doors' is a fascinating interpretation of Jim Morrison's life and career, with Val Kilmer exhibiting one of the finest performances ever. This is...

  • Ep. 183 - Nino Rota's 'The Godfather'

    Without question 'The Godfather' is one of the best films ever made, which is why we have produced a film concert experience that not only showcases the film, but the genius of Rota's score, which won a Grammy, Golden Globe, and British Academy Film Award. At the Oscars, the film won Best Picture...

  • Ep. 182 - Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow's 'Men' (feat Arvo Pärt)

    Alex Garland is one of our favorite directors for a variety of reasons - creative storytelling, visuals, direction, but also how he integrates music in each of his films. In this 2022 folk horror film, we were excited to listen and experience Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow's atmospheric score, whic...

  • Ep. 181 - Christopher Young's 'Jennifer 8'

    There is a beauty to Christopher Young's music that you can't quite put your finger on. This 1992 thriller opened up with mixed reviews, but over the course of time we feel the film has aged well. Featuring Andy Garcia, Uma Thurman, and John Malkovich, the story follows a murder case that focuses...

    'Final Destination' is one of our favorite movies, most notable for its creative horror twists and great score by the legendary Shirley Walker. The snapshot featured here is the opening sequence of the film, which is a great example of Walker's dynamic and epic composing style. The "Main Title" p...

  • Ep. 179 - Marie Antoinette feat. Bow Wow Wow

    There is no question that Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette' turned heads on its release in 2006 because of some unique and new artistic choices done at the time. She was able to blend a very 18th century inspired score by Dustin O'Halloran with a modern contemporary soundtrack - a unique almost ...

    Duncan Jones' 'Moon' is nothing short of thought provoking, and beautiful to watch. There is no question that Sam Rockwell's performance is incredible throughout the entire film, in addition to Clint Mansell's beautiful score which propels the narrative forward.

    This scene in particular takes pl...
