Listened this morning, and it reminded me of a rant I've been stowing for some time. At an hour and twenty-three minutes it suffers from this padding phenomenon where film music writers, bloggers and podcasters feel it's necessary to list the supporting cast and plots from films like KRULL, designations (ALIEN, we're told is the "Ridley Scott-directed 1979 sci-fi horror classic" — thank you, haven't heard of it) and details that are essentially irrelevant to the discussion of Horner's early work. This isn't a critique of the insight provided by the guests, but the script.
This rant written on a Mac, Produced by Steven Spielberg, Directed by Don Bluth and starring a young Liam Neeson.

God forbid they try to add some context to make it appeal to anyone other than us film score weirdos.
Sorry, I thought this was an in-depth look at the life and music of James Horner, not a re-telling of the pre-show slides at AMC.

It's still padding. Can you imagine how boring Jeff Bond's Danny Elfman book would be if instead of actually interesting insight he took time to mention that Chris Brigham co-produced EXTREME MEASURES or that MARS ATTACKS! starred Ray J as one of Pam Grier's sons? That's context, or filler?

Can you give me example of where the show did that? I mean, did he mention the name of the second violin player on Wolfen... or the guy who flipped the pages for the piano player in Field of Dreams... or who delivered lunch on the third day of the recording sessions for Aliens?
I can't recall if anything that insignificant was mentioned on the show or not?

Now THAT would be in-depth!

CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO is proud to be the distributor of the second part of Jason Drury’s epic tribute to James Horner. A few months ago Jason premiered the first episode of his radio documentary THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF JAMES HORNER, a brilliant program researched and produced by Jason featuring fascinating insight into one of the world’s great film music composers. It featured exclusive interviews with Nick Redman, Conrad Pope, Chris Malone, Dirk Wickenden, Jeff Bond, Jason Needs, Steve Bramson, Tim Greiving, David Hocquet, and Robert Daniels. I was also interviewed and featured in the first part of the program.
The second of Jason Drury’s three part story on one of the finest composers in movie history continues with an overview of James Horner’s music in the 1990s including selections from THE ROCKETEER, LEGENDS OF THE FALL, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, BRAVEHEART, APOLLO 13, TITANIC and much more.
Contributors include Nick Redman, Conrad Pope, Tim Burden, Steve Bramson, James Semple, Chris Malone, Robert Daniels, Jeff Bond and Erik Woods.
The program also includes excerpts from BAFTA’s interview with James Horner as part of their Conversations With Screen Composers series at the Royal Albert Hall.
THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF JAMES HORNER was narrated by Amanda Barrow and was written, produced, recorded and edited by Jason Drury
Jason Drury would like to thanks to BAFTA, The London Symphony Orchestra, Robert Daniels and Erik Woods for all of their support.
