Emily Bear (Moana 2), Jerskin Fendrix (Poor Things) & RZA Talk Composing For Movies

The Track Star Podcast

This week we explore movie scores: how they are composed, how they shape emotion, and what makes a theme unforgettable. We played legendary scores for Emily Bear (Moana 2), Jerskin Fendrix (Poor Things), and RZA (Kill Bill, Ghost Dog) and had them identify the films they are from. We also include insights from Jon Batiste on Soul and Isabela Merced on The Last of Us.

You will hear how composers start from script or picture, what separates film scoring from making a traditional album, and why certain themes live on far beyond the films.
