Ep. 14: Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns, and those who dig." Maaaan have we got one for you all this week. Our first venture into soundtrack territory, and you know we were gonna swing for the fences. How about some Morricone mixed with some Clint Eastwood to make everyone feel like a badass?Hilary and Cody talk about the depth of collaboration between Sergio Leone and Morricone, the way the music brilliantly functions as its own character, and the innovations that went into making a score that continues to inspire awe to this day.Special thanks to the Academy Museum for having us attend a screening of this fantastic film!
