1:24:59 Film Club and Hot Takes

Would Indiana Jones, Jaws, Star Wars or even Dune be what they are today without their scores? Are some of the most iconic films and moments in cinema defined by blaring trumpets or sweeping strings? In this week's episode of the Layered Butter Podcast, Rod, Raf and Jordan are joined by composer, Chris Thornborrow to dive deep into the world of film scoring, composing and literally, all that jazz. Working across a bountiful career in film & theatre, Chris unravels the method to the madness; the notes and the keys across the hammer and strings, all of which build and create the soundscape of a narrative. Also, the Layered Butter trio unpack another director under fire, Darth Vader's SAG rate and the era of Jack Antonoff creeping into the film world. All of this and more in this week's Layered Butter!
