Score THIS!

This is just some bonus footage of stuff we recorded before and after the Blade Runner episode. Listen to our conversation with Kyle before the episode starts, then after Malfred and Todd talk about the other ending of Blade Runner, cancelled TV shows and other random topics, enjoy. 😁.

In this episode of Score THIS, we're joined by special guest K-Murdock as we dive into the groundbreaking score of Blade Runner. Together, we explore how Vangelis crafted one of the most influential soundtracks in film history, blending lush synthesizers, haunting melodies, and ambient textures to create the sonic identity of Ridley Scott's dystopian future.

From the atmospheric opening of "Main Titles" to the emotional finale of "Tears in Rain," we break down how the music shapes the film's world, enhances its themes of humanity and identity, and continues to inspire composers across film, television, and video games. We also discuss the score's production, its lasting legacy, and why Blade Runner remains a benchmark for electronic film music.

Join us for an in-depth conversation celebrating a true cinematic masterpiece from 1982 with the sci-fi classic, Blade Runner.

In this episode of Score THIS, we march into one of the most emotionally powerful films ever made—Edward Zwick's Glory (1989). Following the story of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the first all-Black regiment organized to fight for the Union during the American Civil War, Glory combines unforgettable performances with one of James Horner's most celebrated musical scores.

Join us as we explore how Horner's sweeping orchestral writing, haunting trumpet calls, and the unforgettable Boys Choir of Harlem elevate every triumph, sacrifice, and heartbreaking moment throughout the film. From the stirring "A Call to Arms" to the devastating "Charging Fort Wagner" and the reflective "An Epitaph to War," we break down the score scene by scene and examine how its themes have made it one of the defining film soundtracks of the late 20th century.

Whether you're a longtime admirer of James Horner or discovering Glory for the first time, this episode celebrates a film and score that continue to resonate decades after their release.

In this episode of Score THIS, come along for a journey of one of the most bonkers films we’ve covered so far! Lifeforce is a movie about space vampires, metaphysical love, and lots and lots of practical effects. The film score was created by Henry Mancini, with haunting strings and deep drum rumbles that fill the void of space and time to cross into an adventure film from the director of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Toby Hooper. Revel with us in the insanity of some of the most disturbing practical effects and stick around for the space age love story (literally!). This episode has our co-host, Lee McLaughlin sitting out on, and we miss him dearly, but he will return whenever the time is right for him.
