Yousa better sit down, because this week we're kicking off JUNE WILLIAMS, a month of St. John scores in advance of the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. This week we're going back to 1999 to talk about that Star Wars movie. You know the one. With the stuff. It's The Phantom Menace, everybody, with music way better than this movie deserved ..read more

Musical May comes to an end in the most comPOSERS way imaginable, and honestly, it nearly takes us with it. It's fucking Cats, everybody, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.  *** KRUEGER NOTE: As I mentioned in the episode, musical superfan Caleb McRobb sent me the two videos below. They're genuinely interesting and super informative if you want to learn more about this loopy goddamned movie, and they're way more in-depth than anything we're capable of providing on this lousy show. Why is Cats? (Lindsay Ellis, 57:29) Why the music in 2019's "Cats" is worse than you thought (Sideways ..read more

Krueger's birthday coincided with Musical May, and as a professed musical non-fan, he's brought the most far-fetched interpretation of the genre for us to discuss. It's another movie-turned-musical for the sad bastards out there: 2007's Once, with music by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová (with special guests Interference ..read more

Welcome to Musical May, wherein we discuss movies adapted from the stage — the kind where everybody sings and dances (much to Krueger's confusion, we'll learn). This week, we start the month off with a true banger — and unsurprisingly, Aaron's pick: 2002's Chicago, with music by John Kander and Fred Ebb ..read more

When this podcast started, it featured three drunken out-of-shape dorks in a basement talking shit about movie scores. Two hundred (or so) episodes later, we are less drunk, still in a basement, and the shit we're talking has incrementally more credibility than it used to.  Just kidding; we're the same old assholes. Come celebrate two hundred (or so) episodes of comPOSERS: The Movie Score Podcast with an exceptionally long fireside chat about the highs and lows of the last four years. We're genuinely sorry about all of this ..read more

This week, the boys bid farewell to series 13 and stare down the barrel of two hundred God damned episodes by covering an uplifting film about prison! What we have here is a failure to quit while we're ahead: it's Cool Hand Luke (1967) with music by Lalo Schifrin!  ..read more

We know you were expecting Leon the Professional, but after watching half of it and then showering eight or nine times, Krueger decided on something a little more "treasured childhood memory" and a little less "jail the director". It's 1963's The Sword in the Stone, with music by George Bruns and songs by the legendary Sherman Brothers. A RARE KRUEGER WARNING: We spend some time at the top talking about Leon: The Professional and why Krueger decided not to do the movie, so if you don't have space for Redacted-Redacted's grossness, feel free to skip ahead to around the 5 minute mark ..read more

This week, we'll live to see you enjoy the score, but we hope you leave room for our podcast, because we're going to ram it into your earholes and break your goddamned brain! Okay, that was very aggressive, but can you blame us? It's The Running Man, with music by Harold Faltermeyer ..read more

This week, the boys go hunting for a stolen nuclear weapon that we must insist you STOP SHOOTING AT. It's Broken Arrow, with a classic 90s score by Uncle Hans Zimmer ..read more

It's Jay's birthday, and that can mean only one thing: it's time to grab a satchel full of wildly-impratical gadgets and don your best leisure wear, because it's Live and Let Die, featuring music by George Martin and a Bond song courtesy of Paul and Linda McCartney ..read more
