About this episode
This week we explore movie scores: how they are composed, how they shape emotion, and what makes a theme unforgettable. We played legendary scores for Emily Bear ( Moana 2 ), Jerskin Fendrix ( Poor Things ), and RZA ( Kill Bill , Ghost Dog ) and had them identify the films they are from. We also include insights from Jon Batiste on Soul and Isabela Merced on The Last of Us . You will hear how composers start from script or picture, what separates film scoring from making a traditional album, and why certain themes live on far beyond the films.
