We’re so happy you’re here

I’ve missed this podcast so much! So happy to see you back! 😁💕

I am excited my favorite score discussion podcast is back. The Interstellar episode was true form, 1 hour on the main theme!!! Love it.

They’re back and better than ever!!!

Wow, tip-top form after a long break. One of the best sounding podcasts out there, in every sense of the word.

Omg, I’ve just discovered this and I am so happy. Very well prepared, amazing insights for music beginners and connoisseur! And for all film enthusiasts out there!

I have listened to all of your episodes, some more than once, shared them. I love these shows! PLEASE make MORE! Dune is begging for your analysis. I’m sure Hans Zimmer would talk to you! Just ask.

I love your show guys! Please give us more!!!!

These guys are a lot of fun to listen to. They're very lively hosts, really bringing you in and making you feel the love they have for the subject matter. They all bring a different perspective, which keeps things a bit more fresh than some of the other podcasts about film scores. I only wish they would make more episodes!

Entertaining and educational. Easily my favorite podcast and the only podcast that I have notifications enabled.

Very informative, a deep dive into the kind of chords that epitomize the spy genre and Fun. I hope they delve into older movie composers.

Love every show

Great commentary on great music. I’m listening through the whole series for the third time now!

My new favorite podcast! Each of you provide you’re own flavor of brilliant to these episodes. I just finished part 1 of empire and I think Nick said you’ll have to do a lot of other composers before coming back to Johnny but I hope that’s not true! I came here for John mostly and I’m surprised there hasn’t been Ennio yet! Unless I missed it! An underated JW score for me is catch me if you can, I’m sure many people recommend things and it gets old but oh well haha I’d ove To hear you all cover that! Thanks for existing! One last quick shameless plug I’m in a band called Town Meeting please check us out if you have time! And Nick you composed the theme for this?! I love it so much! Bravo! Great job everyone much love and gratitude! ❤️🙏

I love this podcast. All three guys obviously know a lot about films/music, and their enthusiasm for the world of film music is infectious!

It fills me with joy when I see a new episode drop. All three hosts (Andrew Pogson, Nicholas Buc, Dan Golding) have obvious enthusiasm for the topics as well as loads of professional experience. They go quite deep into the scores, themes, leitmotifs, and the instruments (all hail the CS-80 and the crumhorn). It’s a special delight when Seja Vogel is a guest host and brings her expertise on synthesizers. All in all, a very entertaining podcast which I recommend without any reservation.

There are now more than a few soundtrack podcasts and some are better than others. Art of the Score is near the top with great information, enbtertaining personalities and a nice mix of covered scores. Currently, I am loving your take on movie studio fanfares and as a fairly educated film score fanatic, I was blown away to find out that the Paramount "theme" from 1976 was written by Jerry Goldsmith. I mean, in the US at least, that piece of music was used at the start of every Paramount VHS release from the 80s going into the 90s. I've heard it 1000 times and never knew it was the maestro. Keep up the good work and keep those episodes coming!

Listened to them all while cleaning my house. Great stuff. Not enough John Williams IMO.

I love film music and this is filet mignon

Really fun podcast and a great way to revisit some amazing music. The chemistry between the hosts is really fun

Absolutely Phenomenal! please make more I’ve listened to them all 😂

These guys are knowledgeable and hilarious. Great insight into both the scores and the films themselves. Can’t get enough!

So, I love the show and I can’t wait to hear more! I would love to follow along with you guys as you play cues and tracks. Bu I don’t know how I can get ahold of the full cue list with songs. So how do you guys get it? I would like to know. Thank you!

As a professional musician/educator and soundtrack geek I was thrilled to find this podcast and have been binging all the episodes. The hosts are knowledgeable and illuminate the amazing relationship music has with media, diving into specific compositional techniques and historical facts while gracefully keeping any type of listener engaged. 5/5!

How has it taken me so long to know about this?? I have already recommended this to all of my friends and family who like film scoring and they love it too! I love that this covers the context of the film’s release, the different themes within the score, and interesting and relevant commentary. I would give this 10 stars if I could.

Great for trained composers and and completely untrained fans of movie music alike!

I found this show recently and i love it! One question...... LotR when?

Education made incredibly fun. I love when Nick our one of the guys remakes the music and shows how they would rebuild things. Listen to the HTTYD episode. Bucket list is to be on this show.

Thoughtful, thorough, informative, and very calming

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a looong time (since episode 6), and it never fails to be entertaining. These guys are pretty balanced across the board. They’re naturally funny enough to keep a listener smiling the whole way through but serious enough about the subject to satisfy anyone who isn’t just a casual score fan. They’re professionals in the business but they don’t talk to the listeners like they are students who should know the basics. Casuals like myself who just like to listen to scores and not pick them apart can follow along no problem. And if you like Australian accents... The only reason why I’ve given them 4 stars is because of their upload schedule (or lack thereof). They’ve done only 32 episodes since 2017, and haven’t committed to any sort of schedule; monthly, bimonthly, trimonthly, or otherwise. I know they’re probably busy, but I want more of my favorite score podcast. Can’t help it. Love it!

Been looking for a movie score review podcast. Thanks guys! You deliver the best!!!

This is my favorite podcast. I’m almost all the way through them all & I think I’m going to go back & listen through them again!

The guys who host the podcast know their stuff and they present the material in a very interesting way. They’re so enthusiastic about what they’re doing that their episode on “Blade Runner 2049” made me forget just how boring that movie was and want to watch it again!

Only knock for a star is the music cuts are way louder than the dudes talking. For a music-based podcast, gotta know the balance is helpful.

These guys bring analysis to two of my favorite forms of entertainment. Movies and music. Nick buck is a musical genius. Really fun to listen to him dude the it all. My vote for a score review is the greatest movie of all time “Braveheart!”

Though new episodes show up very infrequently, each one is golden. Whether you’re a musician, film buff, or both, the hosts do a wonderful job at making the podcast wholly accessible. I’m always in awe at their ability to explain music. If you love film scores, this is essential listening.

Love these guys. Would love a mega Lord of the Rings series of episodes.

There are only a few great film score podcasts. This is definitely one of them!

Officially Requested‼️

Great for movie and music people alike- I love the little theories, revelations and insights they pepper into their episodes. The mixture of musical and thematic examination as it relates to the movie is amazing. I’m hooked!

Brilliant and charismatic minds who can dig into the finer technical and artistic points of music, but can also explain it in an accessible and simple way. This makes it equally valuable to the trained and experienced musician, and the untrained film score enthusiast/fan. Please keep them coming!

These guys are nerds about movie music n the best of ways. They pull out so much fun trivia and break down all the cues and moments that make each score they unpack so interesting. I consider myself a Star Wars fan, but I learned more from this podcast about Star Wars than I expected! The trio has such a fun dynamic - digging deep but never taking themselves too seriously. Good stuff, gentlemen!

I’ve listened to a ton of podcasts over the years and have never felt compelled to review one til now. Wonderful, informed, and completely inspiring deep-dive into some fantastic film music. I’m so glad I found this.

I love this.

This show does an excellent job pulling out the unique characteristics of movie scores and how the match the characters and scenes. They are hilarious too.

Recently discovered this pod, and starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark, I am hooked. As music and movie lovers these guys do a fantastic job explaining things musically. 10/10 will continue to listen

Without a doubt my favorite podcast. I’ve been a film score fan since I listened to the Phantom Menace score, and having a bit of background in playing music this is a great listen for those who want a bit of a more technical analysis of the craft, while still geeking out with the cues. My only gripe is the frequency of uploads, yet even that could be a positive so that with each new episode it feels like an event, so can’t wait to listen what new score you guys talk about next and just hope you keep it up and share more of your insights, because they’re quite enjoyable. Thank you guys.

These guys are pretty knowledgeable about movie music and music in general! There is alot to digest here they always leave you well informed as to how and why the score came about and the elements that make it great!!! I appreciate podcasts like this!

I know next to nothing about music. This podcast has completely changed the way I listen to music in movies, and increased my basic musical knowledge. The 3 hosts are smart, funny, and genuinely seem to enjoy each other’s company. It’s refreshing to listen to a podcast where the hosts compliment each other’s talents, and never shout over each other or get frustrated. The in-studio piano is a real treat. The production quality of this show, combining recorded music, live music, and their analysis, puts this podcast well above the rest. For fans of movie music, and anyone who wants an east entry point into basic musical knowledge, this podcast is essential listening.

This podcast is so much fun, and it is the perfect thing for me as a teenager who loves film scores and is working to one day get in the field of film composing myself! It’s hilarious as well and really gives me extra newfound appreciation for the soundtracks that are discussed! Thanks for the adventure! - (Son of the owner of this account)
