The Adamsons bring you another Big Conversation in this second reel of their monthly film magazine podcast. This month we're discussing music in film. Starting with the composers who have soundtracked our greatest moments in film, from leading composers over the last few decades such as John Williams, Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone, we look at how film scores have evolved over time. This includes the innovations of pod favourite John Carpenter, the rise of new modern styles of composing in the 80s from the likes of Georgio Moroder and Michael Kamen, through to the new breed of composers such as Nordic tyros Ludwig Goransson and Hildur Gudnodottir and rock musicians who've turned to scoring films like Trent Reznor and Jonny Greenwood. We also look at classic film soundtracks that use rock and pop songs to enliven key scenes, from Trainspotting to Goodfellas and the mighty Saturday Night Fever, and the art of the Needle Drop when the perfect song meets the perfect film moment.
