Headshot of Joe Kraemer (black and white)

Pleased to have Joe Kraemer join the podcast! Though known for films like Jack Reacher and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Joe’s latest is the children’s fantasy film Emily and the Magical Journey. We discuss that score near the end of the interview, and in the meantime we talk about his other works (including the upcoming Old Man starring starring Stephen Lang), late Soviet-era pop music, Pacino’s character in Heat, and much more!

More About the Film: Emily and her mother live alone after losing her father. She wants to help her mother find happiness and to learn about the father she never knew. When Emily finds a mysterious chest that transports her to a magical world, she meets fantastic and mythical creatures that become her new friends. After discovering her new friends are in danger, Emily must face her worst fear to complete her journey. – from IMDb
