We have a double header of you to start your week, as both composers who worked on James Gunn's Superman join me to discuss their collaboration on the film. We'll release our chat with John Murphy shortly, but first it's the turn of David Fleming, who was previously a guest on this show to talk about his contribution to The Last Of Us.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Matt Shakman, director of the latest adventure in the MCU - The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn as the titular team, it's set in the 1960s of a retro-futuristic world where the Fantastic Four must protect against the planet consuming cosmic being, Galactus.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are wife and husband Lena Dunham and Luis Felber - aka musician Attawalpa - who join us to discuss the Netflix TV show they co-created, Too Much. Starring Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe, it tells the story of Jessica, a New Yorker who starts a new life in London after a disastrous breakup, only to meet musician Felix, who proves hard to ignore despite her better judgment. As well as working as music producer on the show, Luis provided the score with his musical partner, Matt Allchin. AND he also provided us with said score, as it's yet to be released. Thank you Luis! 

We have another bonus episode of Soundtracking for you, recorded in front of an audience at Apple Regent Street (London). The subject of this genuinely fascinating conversation is all about the recent release of F1® The Movie, and features key members of the production team. Edith is joined by cinematographer Claudio Miranda, editor Stephen Mirrione, production designer Ben Munro and casting director Lucy Bevan for an exclusive conversation about the Apple Original film — all of whom share wonderful insights into their craft and how they applied it to this extraordinary film.

Welcome James Gunn, writer and director of the latest iteration of Superman. Starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnehan, Nicholas Hoult and James's dog, it sees billionaire Lex Luther attempt to undermine our hero by turning public opinion against him. James is on cracking form, and is particularly passionate about his music, even writing a song for the movie.

We're back with the second of our Jurassic Park Rebirth specials to kick off your week. We released Edith's chat with director Gareth Edwards a little earlier. Now it's the turn of his composer Alexandre Desplat, who of course had to contend with the legacy of all the wonderful music associated with the franchise, not least John Williams's iconic theme.

It's another two show week here on Soundtracking, as first director Gareth Edwards and then composer Alexandre Desplat join us to discuss their work on Jurassic World: Rebirth. In this first of the interviews, Gareth gives us the inside line on how he got the gig, cast members peeing in mangrove swamps, and Alexandre's last ditch efforts to land the choral section of the iconic Jurassic Park theme.
