Episode 87: Whaps Whapsolically

Dear listeners, this week we talk about movie music with our friend and movie fan, Pat Wick! We chat about movie music we love and about some we hate, and then we sing a bit. If you would like to drink along, we recommend Casillero del Diablo Carmenere, which we found highly drinkable. An additional note on this episode: you may notice in the Ravenous section that Melissa does not actually talk about the music. She did, but her original short description was based on alcohol and not seeing the film for a very long time, so it was a misrepresentation of what the score is like. Thus, we clipped out those two sentences. Here’s a better description: it’s like American Civil War-era folk music meets Charles Ives. More show notes behind the cut! Movies mentioned: The Lord of the Rings trilogy Jurassic Park Raiders of the Lost Ark Superman Star Wars There Will Be Blood Ravenous Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Pulp Fiction Kill Bill Inglourious Basterds Metropolis Star Wars Ladyhawke Legend Santiago Violenta Inherent Vice Atonement The Third Man The Day the Earth Stood Still Forbidden Planet Liza the Fox Fairy A Clockwork Orange TRON Kick-Ass People mentioned: John Williams Jonny Greenwood Guy Pierce Quentin Tarantino Gottlieb Huppertz Giorgio Moroder Jerry Goldsmith John Anderson Ernesto Díaz Espinoza James McAvoy Wendy Carlos Links: Here are some music videos without music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rpjlA-z080 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7csZON-IxxI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6ZSZbNfSpk I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr7JDZ1_yyM The Hidden Brain podcast http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510308/hidden-brain Hex FRVR http://hex.frvr.com/ Rick and Morty http://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty/ The post Episode 87: Whaps Whapsolically appeared first on Xanadu Cinema Pleasure Dome.
