Cinematic Sound Radio Podcast

Welcome to Cinematic Sound Radio’s third straight Halloween Special. On the program today we will be playing music exclusively from the MovieScore Media/Kronos Records catalogue. MovieScore Media and Kronos Records joined forces in August of 2013 to “collaborate in the fields of producing and distributing quality film score albums to both wider audiences and targeting the special soundtrack collectors market.” Kronos Records has been releasing quality film music since 2009 while MovieScore Media and its -label Screamworks Records have released over 200 soundtrack albums since the launch of the company in 2006. Included among those 200 albums are some excellent horror themed soundtracks, some of which we will featuring for you on todays program.

Two years ago, J.J. Abrams’ film SUPER 8 and an article entitled “The 6 Most Badass Hero Kids In Movies” by Ryan McKee inspired me to write a three hour radio program dedicated to the HERO KIDS film. Unfortunately, the script was never recorded and a program was never produced. Why? I don’t know, these things just happen. Fast forward to present day and in need of a show to produce, I went back into the archives and found this much neglected script dedicated to one of my favourite -genre of film. So what is a HERO KIDS film? Ryan McKee’s article defines the HERO KIDS film as a movie where “children regularly saved adults from bad situations.” You can extend that to ordinary kids going on extraordinary adventures. McKee’s list doesn’t include films about teenagers, however, our “list” does since teenagers are still essentially kids… just a bit taller. On the program today you will hear music from such HERO KIDS films as EXPLORERS, THE GOONIES, FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR, E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL, ZATHURA, THE MONSTER SQUAD, THE LAST STARFIGHTER and many more.

Cinematic Sound Radio turns 17 this month so as I do every year (except last year) I make a valiant attempt at coming up with a topic or theme that I have never before explored on the show. This year I’m going to play for you some of my favourite end credit cues. These are by no means the definitive best of the best but I think this show features a fine selection of end credit cues from the most iconic to the more obscure. So, on this special three hour program you will hear music Alan Silvestri, James Horner, John Debney, John Williams, Joel McNeely, David Shire, David Arnold, Mark Snow and many others. Special thanks to David Coscina who composed the NEW Cinematic Sound Radio’s fanfare. We have retired the 20th Century Fox fanfare and will now be opening up all programs with Coscina’s new theme. And a big special thanks goes out to film music journalist and historian Jon Burlingame for his invaluable assistance on this show.
