The Sideshow Theme Show #11 – Manners Maketh Man

Sideshow Sound Radio

Welcome to the 11th episode of The Sideshow Theme Show, and this time we’re unlocking the sonic secrets of the Kingsman franchise! Based on the cult comic series by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, the film Kingsman: The Secret Service set a new standard in stylish espionage, complete with jaw-dropping action and an equally unforgettable score. In this episode, we zero in on the main theme—originally composed by Henry Jackman and Matthew Margeson —which combines bold brass fanfares, crisp orchestration, and a cheeky nod to classic spy thrillers. Jackman and Margeson’s masterful theme, blending modern electronic nuances with a quintessential British swagger, not only defined the first film but laid the musical foundation for the entire franchise. Join us as we celebrate the explosive musical genius that still makes us want to don a suit and raise a toast to the Kingsman legacy.
