Episode 97: Movie Music!

 

This episode we discuss some of our favorite science fiction and fantasy film scores. There have been some truly amazing and memorable scores, music which helps define the films and give them their identity. These scores are inseparable from the visuals and they invoke the story just as much.  Each of us shares three film scores and describes just what it is about that score that we find so fascinating.

Bob's picks:

1. The Bride of Frankenstein by Franz Waxman
2. Forbidden Planet by Bebe and Louis Barron
3. Mothra by Yuji Koseki

Karen's picks:

1. Star Trek The Motion Picture by Jerry Goldsmith
2. Predator by Alan Silvestri
3. The Omega Man by Ron Grainer

Larry's picks:

3. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by Howard Shore
