Really loved this episode and could easily have listened to four hours more.
But, uhm, the Edoras theme is not played on an Irish fiddle, but a Hardanger fiddle. Not a big deal obviously, I just always thought it was cool that they used a Norwegian instrument for Rohan, them being Vikings on horses and all.
But seriously, that was one of the best episodes in a while.
I just figured out the main part of the hobbit theme on the piano. I'm all wibbly-wobbly inside.
In other words, awesome episode. Feel free to throw four more hours of film music discussions at my face any time you feel like.
PS : your mother's not fun
When do we get another episode? Like an unplugged version of DIF, that is with the DVD player unplugged...
Great episode, I finally had a long enough period of computer work to sit down and listen to the whole thing, absolutely amazing, looking forward to another along these lines at some point in the future.
I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark again yesterday, and it struck me how Marion's theme was smiliar to Han and Leia's theme.
I haven't watched the first three Indy movies for more than ten years, so I was expecting Indy's main theme to hit me in the face, but it kinda didn't. It's partly introduced at differents points of the movie, but you don't get the grand theme I remembered, which might be more in Indy 2 and 3.
These elements remind me of someone (can't remember who) who said in the podcast than Indiana Jones' soundtrack might not be one of the greatest John Williams' soundtrack. This at least might seem true to me for Raiders of the Lost Ark.
(I still have to admit, though, that the moment when the Well of Souls' position is revealed to Indy on the miniature is made insanely epic with the music)
This would be the dude on the episode.
Welcome to the forums, sir.
Alex, you're awesome.
That will be all.
Dude! you just don't go there! 
One of my favorite episodes. Any good discussion should open you up to reinterpreting some of your previously held beliefs. I always hated Zimmer's score for the Batman films, but thanks to this episode I now see that they have quite a bit of depth to them.
I have to repeat what other good folks have said here in that this is one of my favorite Formerly-Known-As-Down-In-Front shows. The four hours just flew by.
As someone who knows the mechanics of music but has zero natural talent, this show was such a treat. Thanks for giving us a great "inside baseball" look at music in films. You guys pointed me to many soundtracks that I must now listen to.
One small thing, though, is that I was puzzled that there was no mention of Ennio Morricone. I think he does pretty good stuff, but, like I said, I am musically untalented. I was sort of hoping to hear from people who know what they are talking about as to their opinion of Morricone's scores.
I hope you guys do another show like that soon. Thanks!
P.S. I think Alex is secretly a wizard.
+1
Once Alex makes his way out here, I predict at least one more of these episodes with a focus on every single composer any of us can think of. 
Fun fact: The German word for 'room' is zimmer. So you're looking at Zimmer's zimmer.
+1
I love Zimmer's Gladiator score, and Lisa Gerrard's vocals are gorgeous.
I don't recall Last Of The Mohicans coming up in the episode. I think that was the first score I really fell in love with. The violins are so amazing.
I know I'm late to the party on this one, but: bobdamn, this episode was AMAZING. I'm a music-theory geek as well, but I never really used much theory when I play something. This episode has inspired me to pick up the guitar again and do something a little more conscious and clever. THANKS!
