There are plenty of outstanding podcasts covering movie and television scoring, but there’s always room for one more. At least, that’s what Hollywood Records intends to prove when it releases its first slate of The Big Score episodes. The series is a combination docuseries and companion podcast show where composers discuss how they built the soundscapes for shows like Only Murders in the Building and Under the Banner of Heaven. This follows a format featured in shows like One Perfect Shot where the filmmakers themselves roll their sleeves up to deliver the insights, struggles, and triumphs of what they created.
It also seems to be an equal-opportunity series, interviewing composers from all streaming services and studios. Here’s the full lineup according to Variety:

Double the Pemberton? This podcast is wild.
It looks sharp and sounds even better. It’s incredible what the right hands can do with Home Depot buckets and a full orchestra at their disposal.
