An Interview with Jeremiah Fraites
I know I keep saying that the end of this season is imminent. And it is, but it seems like every time I think it’s about dead it springs back to life for a little while longer. Reviving it this […]
An Interview with Jeff Danna
Composer Jeff Danna (The Good Dinosaur, The Boondock Saints) joins me on The Film Scorer podcast just before we wrap up season 5! Oddly enough, I’ve listened to quite a bit of music from the Silent Hill franchise over the […]
An Interview with Daniel Pemberton
In a Film Scorer first, a repeat guest joins the show! Daniel Pemberton (the Spider-Verse films, King Arthur) comes onto the show for a second time, after chatting with me back in 2023 about his score for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. […]
An Interview with Electric Youth
Today I’m joined by Electric Youth! Well, one half of the electronic/synth pop duo – Austin Garrick – without his co-member Bronwyn Griffin. Their latest project is the score for North of Normal, a true coming-of-age drama that jumps between […]
An Interview with Carlos Rafael Rivera
Carlos Rafael Rivera (The Queen’s Gambit, Hacks) is one of the few composers my mom has asked me about, so I’m extra excited to have him join the show! Carlos’s latest project is Department Q, his fourth series with writer-director […]

Baby Invasion (2025) – Burial – Film Score Review
These are likely two truths about Harmony Korine’s Baby Invasion: (1) effectively no one saw the film, and (2) Burial’s score will never have an official release. While I can’t fault people for skipping out on the film (my own […]
Mission Impossible with Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey
The Mission Impossible franchise has been going strong for nearly thirty years, so it’s a bit surreal to see it apparently come to an end, with Tom Cruise hanging up the mantle as Ethan Hunt. To celebrate the final entry, […]
Squid Game with Jung Jae-Il
Ahead of the premiere of the third and final season of Squid Game, I chat with the show’s composer, Jung Jae-Il (Parasite, Mickey 17). Obviously Jae-Il and I spend much of the conversation talking about Squid Game, including the palette, […]
An Interview with Leo Birenberg & Zach Robinson
Composers Leo Birenberg & Zach Robinson join The Film Scorer Podcast to round out the unofficial (and accidental) trilogy of duo interviews (joining Meg Remy & Grace Glowicki and Aaron May & David Ridley). Leo and Zach are fresh off […]
Warfare (2025) – Soundtrack Review
Recent films like Warfare and shows like Adolescence (Interview) and The Pitt have got me thinking about the effectiveness of a lack of music. When something is shown in real time (e.g. Adolescence) or has a visceral immediacy (e.g. Warfare), […]
An Interview with Aaron May and David Ridley
For my second of three consecutive duo interviews, I chat with composers Aaron May and David Ridley. While they’ve been composing together for a while, their biggest project is also their most recent – the viral Netflix series Adolescence, from […]
