comPOSERS: The Movie Score Podcast

Welcome to "comPOSERS: The Movie Score Podcast", where three old musician friends of dubious talent enjoy some movie-themed drinks while discussing film scores and the films they're in. Our goal is to find the perfect movie score, and our journey takes us some really weird places.

Join us on this bizarre musical trek to...somewhere? Follow us on the socials (Twitter and Instagram, currently) @composerspod, then sit back, pour yourself an adult beverage and enjoy some comPOSING.

Next Sunday's Episode: THE MARK OF ZORRO composed by Alfred Newman.

About

comPOSERS is the brainchild of producer-turned-composer Aaron deGroot, musician Alex James and songwriter/film aficionado Jay Lang. Each week, one of the boys chooses a film with a noteworthy score (or just one they liked a whole lot) and puts it up for discussion. By the end, the score and its movie are marked out of 40 by each of them based on four categories:

Enjoyment: what's so great about it?

Originality: what makes it stand out?

Music to Film: how well does it accompany the action on screen?

Cultural Importance: will this score resonate through the ages or be forgotten?

The perfect 40 has yet to be found, but there's a lot of great music and a lot of great movies to enjoy (or skewer) along the way. Welcome, listeners, to comPOSERS: the Movie Score Podcast.
