This chapter explores the role of music in movies and TV shows, discussing how it enhances the narrative, character development, and emotions of the audience. It examines examples from 'Interstellar' and 'Schindler's List', as well as a composer blending 18th-century court music with hip-hop beats for 'Succession'. The hosts debate whether music should go unnoticed in the background or play a more dominating role, and discuss the decline in recent music scores.
When music in movies and TV drama series is played exceptionally well, it has the ability to latch onto our nostalgic heartstrings. We go down our playlists of timeless favorites and try to answer this question: do recent music scores and soundtracks hold up to the same standard as their predecessors? On the show: Heyang, Xingyu & Josh Cotterill
