Award-winning composer Michael Abels is one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed and influential composers. Among his accolades, Abels’ scores for US and NOPE were Academy Award-shortlisted for Best Original Score. For his US score, he received a World Soundtrack Award, the Jerry Goldsmith Award, a Black Reel Award, and multiple critics' awards, as well as Critics Choice and IFMCA Award nominations.

His latest score is for HOPE. Written and directed by Hong-jin, HOPE concerns a police chief and his rookie deputy who must defend their local community, a remote South Korean Harbour Village,  from a mysterious creature after wildfires sever all communications. Nearby, a local hunting party sets out to track the beast but finds themselves hunted instead.

Abels’ score evolves over the course of the film, the first half predominantly in the suspense/horror genre, with tense ambient textures and unsettling harmonies, until the second half turns into an epic adventure.

In late September 2026, for TALKING SOUNDTRACKS on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST NETWORK, Jason Drury had the pleasure of talking to Michael Abels via Zoom from his studio in Los Angeles.

During the interview, they talked about his career to date, how he entered the world of film music, his relationship with Director Jordan Peele and his score for HOPE. During the show, we play music from the career of Michael Abels, including HOPE, one of the scores of 2026, featuring "Freeway Chase," one of the cues of 2026.

Enjoy!

Bumper voice artist: Tim Burden

Today on THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Erik Woods, Robert Daniels, and Randy Andrews continue their journey through the STAR TREK films and their soundtracks as they discuss the ninth movie in the series, STAR TREK: INSURRECTION.

STAR TREK: INSURRECTION is the third STAR TREK film to star the cast of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, with guest stars F. Murray Abraham, Donna Murphy, and Anthony Zerbe. In the film, the crew of the USS Enterprise-E rebels against Starfleet command after they discover a conspiracy with a species known as the Son'a to steal the peaceful Ba'ku's planet for its rejuvenating properties.

In this episode of THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Randy Andrews, Rob Daniels and Erik Woods revisit Jerry Goldsmith's exciting and emotionally charged score to STAR TREK: INSURRECTION.

The hosts first discuss the film's reputation, its moral conflict surrounding the relocation of the Baku, Picard's evolving relationship with Starfleet, the romance between Picard and Anij, the performances of the cast, the film's humour, visual effects, cinematography and Jonathan Frakes' direction.

The second half of the episode dives deeply into Jerry Goldsmith's score, including discussions on Goldsmith's use of melody, electronics, solo instruments, orchestration, 90s action writing, and his brilliant underscoring of dialogue.

The original soundtrack album was released at the time of the film's release in December 1998 by GNP Crescendo Records, featuring just under 45 minutes of musical highlights.

In 2013, GNP Crescendo Records re-released the soundtrack for the film as an expanded collector's edition, featuring previously unreleased tracks plus four bonus tracks newly remastered by Bruce Botnick with liner notes by Jeff Bond and John Takis.

Enjoy the show!

Academy Award, BAFTA and Emmy-winning composer Steven Price has scored the highly anticipated live-action/animated film COYOTE VS. ACME, directed by Dave Green and starring Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor.

Warner Bros. Discovery initially shelved COYOTE VS. ACME in November 2023 to obtain a tax write-off but later reversed its decision and allowed the filmmakers to seek other distributors following public backlash. After several unsuccessful negotiations with various distributors, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights for $50 million in March 2025 and finally released the film on August 28, 2026, in the US and August 21, 2026, in the UK to rave reviews from the critics and cinemagoers alike.

After enduring years of catastrophic product failures at the hands of ACME, Inc, a tenacious, unemployed coyote (Wile E. Coyote) uncovers a corporate cover-up and spearheads an unhinged battle against the multinational conglomerate that’s been blowing him up in the name of profit. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote’s chaotic catastrophes.

In August 2026, for TALKING SOUNDTRACKS on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST, Jason Drury had the pleasure of talking to Steven Price about his score for COYOTE VS. ACME via Zoom at his studio in Surrey, England.

As well as talking about the score, they also talked about Steven’s career to date, including his work on THE LORD OF THE RINGS and his Academy Award-winning score for GRAVITY.

And you will also be hearing plenty of the music of Stephen Price, including, of course, from his latest release, COYOTE VS. ACME.

Enjoy!

The all-too-common practice of desperately rushing to wring some last-minute recreation and rest out of the dog days of August has made many a vacation go sideways, to either a horrifying or hilarious degree. The continuation of Play Morricone For Me's two-part Vacations Gone Wrong program compiles more scores from thrillers and comedies about unfortunate tourists.
