          Editor's Notes: For the record, Josiah is a Paul Newman guy. | Technically, they're scores, not soundtracks. But we're not keeping score. | Whatever word Andrew was looking for, it wasn't smarmy. Or was it? | Let me be crystal clear: Netflix's Cowboy Bebop remake is trash; however, the music by The Seatbelts is spectacular. | Arguably, "Fletcher's Song In Club" is a slower version of Chazelle's leitmotif that shows up in La La Land and First Man. -Andrew
