Battle Beyond The Stars - with Tim Gray
Welcome back, starfighters and soundtrack explorers! For this episode we're heading into a Battle Beyond the Stars to celebrate one of the earliest gems in the career of James Horner, whose score blasts off with the magnificent "Main Title" and rockets toward the thrilling "The Battle in Space," giving us an early glimpse of the musical galaxy he'd later conquer. Joining me for this cosmic adventure is film music enthusiast Tim Grey, better known on social media as Bibi Dahl, and together we'll be exploring the themes, fanfares, and Horner hallmarks that make this score such a treat. Along the way we'll also pay tribute to Sybil Danning's Saint-Exmin, whose considerable gravitational attraction threatens to pull the entire film out of orbit, and spare a thought for poor old Sador, the galaxy's most dedicated collector, whose fondness for acquiring body parts as trophies really puts a new spin on keeping a handy souvenir. So keep your eyes on the stars—and your hands where Sador can see them—as we dive into this wonderfully rousing sci-fi score.

Inception - with David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE
For this episode we’re descending several layers deep into the dreamscape of Inception, guided by the seismic brilliance of Hans Zimmer’s score — a soundtrack that doesn’t just accompany the film, it practically rewires your pulse. From the ominous brass blasts of “Dream Is Collapsing” to the aching grandeur of “Time,” via the ticking tension of “Mombasa” and the eerie elasticity of “Half Remembered Dream,” Zimmer created music that feels less composed than architected, like a sonic extraction job unfolding in real time. And joining me to unpack every BRAAAM, paradox and perfectly calibrated emotional beat is David Lowbridge-Ellis — writer, cultural commentator, Bond expert, and curator of the social media presence Licence To Queer — for a conversation that promises to be as layered, stylish and unexpectedly emotional as the score itself.

Star Wars - with Charlie Brigden
For this episode we’ll be analyzing the two most powerful forces in the galaxy: destiny… and a French horn section. We’ll be blasting off into the symphonic hyperspace of the “Main Title,” that bold musical announcement that basically says, “Put down your popcorn and prepare for feelings.” Dodging “Imperial Attacks” swooning irresponsibly over Princess Leia, trying not to blow our entire moisture farming budget at a “Robot Auction.” and observing a wretched hive of scum and villainy. No, not it’s not PMQ’s at Westminster! that’s right it’s Star Wars of course! And joining me to soak up the sights and sounds of Mos Isley Spaceport, and taking in the intergalactic jazz chaos of the “Cantina Band,” is Charlie Brigden — a film music writer and journalist who knows his horror scores as intimately as most of us know our own Netflix passwords. With bylines in Fangoria, Set The Tape, Cinepunx, and Certified Forgotten, he’s made a name exploring the gloriously shadowy corners of soundtrack and cult cinema. He’s the host of The Sound of Fear, where horror film music takes centre stage, and has appeared on shows like Wrong Reel and The Last Horror Podcast. If it involves eerie synths, cult classics, or a vinyl release from Death Waltz Records, chances are Charlie’s already written the liner notes — and brought a flashlight. But is John Williams score for Star Wars still as brilliant as we remember? There’s only one way to find out; let’s dive in!

This week we’re striding through some bloody huge wooden gates to dig deeply into a score by the maestro himself, John Williams. From the electric spark of the “Opening Titles” to the soaring “main theme” wonder rises higher than a brachiosaurus on its hind legs—majestic, monumental, and most definitely ‘tricera-top’ tier. But don’t get too comfy in the visitor center: “Incident at Isla Nublar” snaps at our heels, turning calm into chaos faster than you can say “clever girl.” And joining me to dodge a “Raptor Attack,” steal embryos and dangle over disaster in “High Wire Stunts.” is returning guest Tom Fleming Bond and sci-fi and fantasy film fan extraordinaire who can be found on various socials as @tomyflemba.

Spectre - with Will Welch
For this mission we’ll be discussing the music that accompanies Bond as he takes in the Day Of The Dead in Mexico, a rather brutal night time sight seeing tour in Rome, a visit to a Norwegian health clinic, a rather drastic remodelling of a Tangier hotel room all whilst trying to avoid a clinch with Mr Hinx. That’s right, it’s Spectre and joining me as we make our way through the cues to Thomas Newman’s second score for Bond is Will Welch, curator of the social media account The Wonderful World Of Film Music but is ‘The writing on the wall’ to be believed with regards to this Bond score?
