Edgar makes a welcome return to Soundtracking to discuss his take on Stephen King's novel, The Running Man. Very much not a remake of the 1987 movie, it remains faithful to King's novel, and features an incredible array of needle drops to compliment Steven Price's score. This is the first of two bonus episodes with total legends in quick succession. Tune in to find out who's next ...
Our latest guests on Soundtracking is Lynne Ramsay and music supervisor Raife Burchell who join us to discuss their collaboration on Lynne's latest film, Die My Love.

Starring Daniel. Sean Bean and Samantha Morten, it tells the story of two estranged brothers who meet at a primitive cabin in northern England, where tensions simmer as hidden secrets and long-buring resentments come to light. Bobby Krilic's score is sensational, and he's a future guest on the podcast.
Something a little different for you on our latest episode of Soundtracking, as we approach our latest film from 3 perspectives, all of which are obviously very much focussed on the same objective. Namely, to make the best movie that they can. And boy, have our guests succeeded. Netflix's Train Dreams is co-written and directed by Clint Bentley, who has admirable support from his cinematographer Adolpho Veloso and composer Bryce Dessner. We dive deep into their collaboration.
The bonuses keep on coming here on Soundtracking, as Edward Berger makes a welcome return to discuss his new film, Ballad Of A Small Player, which is streaming right now on Netflix.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are director Yorgos Lanthimos and screenwriter Will Tracy, who join me to discuss their collaboration on Bugonia. A remake of the 2003 South Korean film, Save The Green Planet, it follows the story of two men who kidnap the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, convinced she is an alien intent on destroying Earth.
Boy, do we have a treat for you on our latest episode of Soundtracking, as four of the key players from the biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere join us to discuss the film.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Joachim Rønning and Jared Leto, respectively the director and star in the latest installment of the Tron series, Ares. In it, two rival companies compete to harness AI technology for very different reasons, with Jared's character from the digital realm entering the real world on the instruction of his programmer with, well, consequences! Tron: Ares has been scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross in their Nine Inch Nails guise, and it is an absolutely banging piece of work.
We are really spoiling you on Soundtracking at the moment, with bonus episode after bonus episode. Our latest is a bit of a legend, too, Steven Knight, writer of Peaky Blinders, the next James Bond, and most recently House Of Guinness, which is streaming on Netflix now. With a fabulous ensemble cast, House Of Guinness tells the story of the famed brewing company, as it becomes established in Ireland and New York.

It's the second part of our Steve Special, as composers Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow join me to discuss their score from the film. We've already heard from writer Max Porter and leading man Cillian Murphy, and that's available to listen to now. Big thanks to the team at the legendary Invada Records for providing us with the score before it was released.
We are double dropping bonus episodes of Soundtracking this week, as first Max Porter and Cillian Murphy and then composers Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury join us to discuss the brilliant new Netflix drama, Steve. Written by Max and based on his novel, Shy, Steve stars Cillian as a teacher at a reform school who struggles to deal with his troubled students while battling his own mental health issues. The music in this film is incredible, not least Geoff and Ben's score. Big thanks to Geoff, Redg and James at Invada Records for sneaking us a copy before it was released.
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is the legend that is Sean Penn, who joins us to discuss his role in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. Also starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Regina King and former Soundtracking guest, Benicio Del Toro, One Battle After Another tells the story of an ex-revolutionary who must rescue his daughter from a corrupt military official, played by Sean. We discuss his stellar performance, but also how important music has been to him in his own filmmaking.
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Dame Emma Thompson, who joins us to discuss her leading role in the thriller, Dead Of Winter. It tells the story of a grief stricken widow who stops at a remote cabin in snowy Minnesota having got lost, and soon finds herself in a desperate fight for survival.
It's part two of our Caught Stealing sonic special, as composer Rob Simonsen joins us to discuss his contribution to Darren Aronofsky's latest movie, and plenty more besides. Edith's chat with Joe from IDLES is also available, as indeed is the episode with Darren, so do check those out if you haven't already. But it was great to get Rob on his own so we could dive deep into his own process, as well as some of his other career highlights.
It's bonus time again, as we bring you not one but two episodes relating to the music of Darren Aronofsky's riotous and darkly comic thriller, Caught Stealing. We'll drop the episode featuring composer Rob Simonsen shortly, but first it's the turn of Joe from IDLES, who collaborated with Rob and the score and also provided original songs for the film. Appropriately, Joe joined us walking through the streets of Brooklyn!
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Kogonada, director of a wonderful film called A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, it tells the story of David and Sarah, two strangers who meet at a mutual friend's wedding and embark on a fantastical exploration of their respective pasts. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is scored by the legend that is Joe Hisaishi - and we feature extracts from his score throughout the conversation.
