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 […]
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 […]
By not only telling the true life story of one of professional wrestling’s most legendary dynasties but also shining a heartbreaking light on the pressures of generational expectations, Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw is a true marvel of cinematic achievement. […]
