This was a lot of fun.
Also, I think it's actually the longest episode of DIF ever, so, hooray! We've entertained you for half your work day!

The Return of the King episode has it beat by 4 minutes. But that one had a movie dictating its length. This one...goddamn, you guys.
Worst Williams score is undoubtedly Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Best non-lucas/Spielberg is Superman.
I'm baffled at your defense of the Star Trek reboot score, but the Incredibles soundtrack is undoubtedly fucking great.
With all the videogame talk, wish Jeremy Soule had gotten a shoutout.
Other than that, an amazing episode. Like I seriously would listen to a weekly version of that panel.
Best non-Lucas/Spielberg is .... umm... I'm gonna go with... The Poseidon Adventure.
One of my favorite film score moments is actually an un-scored moment: the T-Rex attack on the SUVs in Jurassic Park. Not a note of music in that whole sequence, and it's a great example of how sometimes less (or none) is more.
Worst bit of scoring in my recent experience: John Williams's work on "Lincoln", wherein he felt obligated to interrupt Daniel Day-Lewis' brilliant performances with musical cues to remind us that DDL was saying something important and poignant.
It'd be good if it wasn't following up a series that has some of the most iconic sci-fi music of the last 40 years, to which it doesn't even come close. Opinions are gonna be subjective no matter what, but to me it's a kinda weak main theme when you stack it up against Horner's and Goldsmith's work, it doesn't convey the wonder and sense of exploration that I think it should.
The opening theme of Up collectively made half the grown men in america cry in a 5 minute span, so it absolutely deserved the nomination and win (it won right?).
I'd say Giacchino's score for ST is quite good and even rousing, but it probably doesn't stand up tot eh best ST film scores. That said, scoring trends change, and I'm not sure you could get by with some of the old ST film scores now.
I think Giacchino's score for John Carter is better than his ST score. I like it a lot.
Very entertaining Podcast. Made me wonder, does anyone know of any music-oriented Podcasts that include things like the random improv stuff that was in this episode? If not... dude, Teague, make it happen. I think it would make for a really interesting podcast.
I was thinking the same thing. The fact that you guys went for FOUR HOURS without stopping proves that there's a wealth of material to cover.
Ya, I would absolutely listen to a weekly thing like this, that was super cool.
Also there's a potential for a Whose Line is it Anyway style music improv show.
Only an hour in and it's already my favorite episode of a podcast ever.
Also, I am one of the many who's first film score to grab them was Star Wars. I was 7 when Empire came out and I remember the first thing I asked my friend when he got back from seeing it was if they kept the same music.
Now back to listening...
Speaking of film scores, the edit for The Boogeyman is close to being locked. So, would anybody like to try their hands at a bit of composing?
Teague, I request, no, I demand that you take the Super Teague theme Alex came up with and flesh it out into a full on thing.
