Why Soundtracks Matter

After missing a week due to unexpected hospitalization, Faith and Aaron dedicate an entire episode to a discussion of movie soundtracks. Aaron goes over the psychological research indicating soundtracks to be fundamental elements of how we interpret and respond to film, while Faith discusses the importance of soundtrack variation and how they allow for nonverbal storytelling. Then during the kvetching corner, the hosts explain the recent controversy over the YouTuber “Dream” to each other, each succeeding in making the other angry.
