Heroes Never Die: John Williams’ ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' marked John Williams’ 100th film score of his career. Returning after a 19-year hiatus away from 'Indiana Jones', Williams said that it was like "sitting down and finishing a letter that you started 25 years ago". Williams' writing harkens back to the style of adventure music he was writing in the 1980s. Join me as I discuss the adventurous but conceptually odd main theme for the character of Mutt and the sexy, noir-ish main theme for Cate Blanchett’s villainess Irina Spalko. At the center of the score is the stand-out cue called "The Jungle Chase" featuring Williams' great skill at thematic action scoring.

Off into the Sunset: John Williams’ ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’
For the trilogy capper of the 'Indiana Jones' franchise, my favorite film of the franchise, Williams wrote a more mature and quieter score than its predecessors, but with no less attention to detail and thematic variation. In this episode, I break down the different variations of the "Father/Son Theme", representing the rekindling relationship between Indy and his father — the heart of the movie. I also discuss the Lutheran hymn-like new melodies for the Holy Grail and the Grail Knights, as well as the martial theme for the Nazis.

Bugs, Cults, and Blood: John Williams’ ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple Doom’
'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' is the lesser of the original trilogy, but, I will try and change your mind about John Williams’ film score, my favorite of all the 'Indiana Jones' scores. Along with the triumphant and epic return of the Raiders March, Williams write three new melodies for the characters of Willie and Short Round, and for the enslaved children within the temple. Williams' writing is cranked up to ten as he delivers one of the most thrilling of his career! Be wary, though, this is Indiana Jones going to Hell!
