On this first special episode of Shlocktober, comPOSERS makes a call to California to speak with horror-film expert, comedian, and podcaster Andy Sell. Way to hang in there, listeners... you finally have someone on this show that actually knows what he's talking about.

Welcome to Shlocktober! To celebrate Halloween we'll be doing horror film episodes every Sunday of the month, starting with 'Rosemary's Baby' directed by REDACTED REDACTED. Join us as we discuss Krzysztof Komeda's very interesting and unique jazz-inspired horror score.

"Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"... is not something we'll be saying in this week's episode because we're drinking in plenty of Snakebites (the beer + cider drink) while discussing Raiders of the Lost Ark and its iconic score composed by John Williams.

This week's special midweek episode is all about over-drinking and over-sharing. Join us as we tip back a few free beers (thanks to the fine folks at Side Launch) and share the tall tale of how the 3 hosts of this podcast met many years ago and started comPOSERS.

On this week's episode we go back to the good old days; the Great Depression, long before even Alex was born to discuss what's considered "the grandfather of movie scores" from the 1933 film King Kong composed by Max Steiner.
