Today’s episode is all about personal favourites. Over the next seven episodes of THE FLAGSHIP SHOW, I’ll be counting down my  TOP 25 SCORES OF THE 21st CENTURY.  These are the soundtracks that have resonated with me the most, scores that I believe deserve a special place in any discussion about the best music of the last quarter-century. While my list may not align with everyone’s tastes, it’s a reflection of the music that has left a lasting impression on me.

In this special series, you’ll hear a mix of fan-favourite classics and perhaps a few surprises along the way. These are the scores that have stuck with me over the years, whether for their emotional depth, unforgettable themes, or the way they perfectly enhanced the films they were written for. I invite you to join me as we celebrate the music that has inspired and moved me personally. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this journey through 25 years of remarkable film music.

In this opening episode, you'll hear three honourable mentions from composers John Williams, Frederic Talgorn and Alexandre Desplat. Part two will be available later in the week.

Last time on THE FLAGSHIP SHOW, I presented part one of my two-part interview with film music journalist, Cinematic Sound Radio host and friend, Jason Drury. If you haven't listened to that episode, I highly recommend you do so before listening to this episode.

In part two, Jason and I talk about feedback from the public, Jason’s James Horner audio documentary, how he came to be a member of Cinematic Sound Radio, his future aspirations, and his relationship with the late recording engineer, Mike Ross-Trevor.

I thank Jason for taking the time to talk with me and to open up candidly, not only about his passions but also about sharing some of the deeper personal stories.

Here now is part one of my chat with Jason, a discussion which took place on a warm fall evening in my dimly lit studio on September 25, 2025

Today's program is a special one. This is the first interview that I've conducted since way back in 2000, when I interviewed Michael Giacchino during the MEDAL OF HONOR: UNDERGROUND recording sessions in Seattle. Maybe one day I'll unearth that interview for you all.

Back on September 25th of this year, I sat down with CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO's own Jason Drury, who will be releasing his 50th episode of THE ARCHIVE on this podcast soon. Jason was visiting Robert Daniels and me once more, and during one of his last evenings here, he made his way to the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO studios to have a chat about his lifelong fascination with film music, which began at an early age with his discovery of the music of Barry Grey, John Williams and James Horner, among others. We also chatted about turning his passion into broadcasting, first on the internet radio station KASPAAR in his home of Kent, England, and then joining CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO, where he completed his magnum opus, a three-part documentary on James Horner. Afterwards, Jason created two new podcast series for CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO, called THE ARCHIVE and TALKING SOUNDTRACKS.

Since 2021, Jason has expanded his influence as a writer and interviewer for FILM SCORE MONTHLY, engaging with many of today’s leading composers. Beyond his broadcasting and journalistic work, he remains an avid movie-goer and cricket enthusiast. As a proud member of the INTERNATIONAL FILM MUSIC CRITICS ASSOCIATION (IFMCA), Jason continues to champion the world of film music, sharing his insight, enthusiasm, and deep appreciation for the art form with audiences around the world.

We also delve into Jason’s personal journey, including his experiences with bullying and the lasting impact it had on his confidence. He shares how film music became a vital source of comfort and strength during those difficult years. Ultimately, that passion led him to podcasting, which helped him rebuild his self-belief and connect with others who share his love for the art form.

Here now is part one of my chat with Jason, a discussion which took place on a warm fall evening in my dimly lit studio on September 25, 2025

Enjoy!
