In episode 20 I talk with Stephen Ridley, a professional music composer, who has done television, movie, advertising, and other works.

Check his music out at stephenridley.com – right now it takes you to his SoundCloud page, where he has his music available. We discuss one of his works, “Symphony for Percussion,” during the course of this episode, though listening to the music beforehand isn’t strictly necessary. You’ll probably want to afterwards!

Enjoy.

Episode 16 is here! In this unusual episode, host Brandon Starr talks about the movie ‘The Shining,’ directed by Stanley Kubrick. It is done in a commentary track style, so if you wish you can watch the movie while listening to this podcast as a secondary audio track.

Brandon discusses some of the themes and methods used in ‘The Shining’ that make it so unsettling, while also delving into some of the movie’s themes that show that the movie is more than a simple spook show.

This is part 1 of 2.

Enjoy!
