THE MOST OVERUSED SONGS IN FILM (JUNE 20, 2022)

May 05 2024 50 mins  
Hello listeners. As you might have guessed by now, comPOSERS is on a bit of a break. Jay, Aaron and I are all working a lot right now, and I've had a lot of insurance- and physiotherapy-related bullshit on my plate to boot, so we're struggling to find time. We do plan to be back soon, so please watch this space for updates. In the meantime, thanks to those of you who've reached out

MOONRAKER (1979) - Series 15: Episode 222

Apr 01 2024 88 mins  
You thought "oh no, March is over and they haven't released the last of Jay's Bond", didn't you? Well April Fool's, you maniacs: now have a Moonraker (with music by the OG, John Barry)!

TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997) - Series 15: Episode 221

Mar 25 2024 78 mins  
Bond. JAY'S Bond. Yes, it's our funniest comPOSER's 40th birthday, so we're giving him both episodes this month, which means of course two weeks of gadgets, girls and guns (and martinis, but it doesn't fit the alliteration). First up: it's Tomorrow Never Dies with music by the incomparable David Arnold!

WEEKEND UPDATE

It's a Krueger weekend update! Give it a listen! And sorry there's no episode.

THE EDGE (1997) - Series 15: Episode 220

Feb 25 2024 96 mins  
HORNSMITH continues this week as we revisit a perhaps-underappreciated score from the golden age of thrillers. It's Hannibal Lector versus a motherfucking bear in 1997's The Edge with music by King Jerry Goldsmith!

BRAVEHEART (1995) - Series 15: Episode 219

Feb 12 2024 84 mins  
HORNSMITH IS UPON US! This month we're covering one film each from the electrifying compositional duo brought together by the power of Jerry Goldsmith's daughter. This week: 1995's epic historical drama about a time when Mel Gibson was a sought-after actor. It's Braveheart with music by the inestimable James "Horny" Horner!

STAR WARS II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002) - Series 15: Episode 218

Feb 04 2024 91 mins  
Time to grow a stupid braid and murder some Tuskens, everybody, because Johnuary continues with our second foray into the much-maligned prequel trilogy. It's Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, with music by Old Whatsisname. NOTE: This was supposed to go up last week, but I got screwed up by the new "two episodes a month" schedule and forgot. Sorry everybody. Tune in next

INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (2023) - Series 15: Episode 217

Jan 16 2024 78 mins  
Get ready to punch some Nazis and retrieve some artifacts, because the boys are going on one last (?) adventure with Harrison Ford's hat and whip. What better way to kick off JOHNuary than with the final ride of the icon he helped shape? It's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, with music by that young up-and-comer John Williams.

CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (2000) - Series 15: Episode 216

Dec 17 2023 65 mins  
It's the last (regular) episode of the year, quite unexpectedly, but a series of hilarious mishaps before and during recording nearly led to no show, so we're getting while the getting's good. And it's good this week with Tan Dun's Oscar-winning score to the martial arts classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Watch this space for maybe a special, otherwise we're back in 2024! Happ

THE APARTMENT (1960) - Series 15: Episode 215

Nov 28 2023 99 mins  
Don't forget to lock up when you're done screwing around on your wife! This week the boys are in the Stude and joined by the Fifth Beatle, Andrew Young of the Geek Hard show, who's brought a delight from yesteryear: 1960's The Apartment, with music by British composer (we're serious) Adolph Deutsch!
