A Score To Settle Podcast - Episode 5, "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" (1988)/Guest George S. Nader

I'm pleased to announce another new episode of my podcast! In this episode, I devote the first segment to Michael Kamen's score for the 1988 fantasy film, THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN, directed by Terry Gilliam. It's been a long-time favorite, both of Kamen's output as a composer and also overall among my entire collection. For the second segment, I invited my friend and fellow soundtrack fan, George S. Nader, to discuss one of his favorites, that being Alan Silvestri's score for WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, directed by Robert Zemeckis and also released in 1988. We then get into the topic of being a fan of movie music and play a game called "Movie Music Mix Tape".

As always, I do hope everyone who listens enjoys this episode and forgives any technical and verbal gaffes that might occur. During my talk with George, I think there were some issues with microphone volume, along with some squeaky chairs, both problems hopefully never to be repeated.

A Score To Settle Podcast - Episode 4, Guest Edwin Wendler, composer

Happy New Year and I hope it was a great holiday season for everyone! I'm happy to announce another new episode of my podcast, the first of 2018. In this episode, I talk with composer Edwin Wendler about his work in film, such as the short film WRONG HOLLYWOOD NUMBER, television, such as "Fear Factor", along with his background in Vienna, what caught his ear in movie music as a fan, his start in the business, collaborations and current trends, big budget movies and more. If you're interested in checking out Edwin's music and career, you can find him on Facebook as well as his website, www.edwinwendler.com.

As before, I do hope everyone who listens enjoys this episode and also forgives any technical and verbal gaffes that might occur. In fact, at one point during this interview with Edwin all the lights went out in the studio space we were occupying - and you wouldn't even know just from listening!
