Inception - with David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE
<p>For this episode we’re descending several layers deep into the dreamscape of Inception, guided by the seismic brilliance of Hans Zimmer’s score — a soundtrack that doesn’t just accompany the film, it practically rewires your pulse. From the ominous brass blasts of “Dream Is Collapsing” to the aching grandeur of “Time,” via the ticking tension of “Mombasa” and the eerie elasticity of “Half Remembered Dream,” Zimmer created music that feels less composed than architected, like a sonic extraction job unfolding in real time. And joining me to unpack every BRAAAM, paradox and perfectly calibrated emotional beat is David Lowbridge-Ellis — writer, cultural commentator, Bond expert, and curator of the social media presence Licence To Queer — for a conversation that promises to be as layered, stylish and unexpectedly emotional as the score itself.</p><br><p>The Scores Are Not Enough is an unofficial entity, and in no way affiliated with Warner Bros.

Star Wars - with Charlie Brigden
<p>For this episode we’ll be analyzing the two most powerful forces in the galaxy: destiny… and a French horn section. We’ll be blasting off into the symphonic hyperspace of the “Main Title,” that bold musical announcement that basically says, “Put down your popcorn and prepare for feelings.” Dodging “Imperial Attacks” swooning irresponsibly over Princess Leia, trying not to blow our entire moisture farming budget at a “Robot Auction.” and observing a wretched hive of scum and villainy. No, not it’s not PMQ’s at Westminster! that’s right it’s Star Wars of course! And joining me to soak up the sights and sounds of Mos Isley Spaceport, and taking in the intergalactic jazz chaos of the “Cantina Band,” is Charlie Brigden — a film music writer and journalist who knows his horror scores as intimately as most of us know our own Netflix passwords. With bylines in Fangoria, Set The Tape, Cinepunx, and Certified Forgotten, he’s made a name exploring the gloriously shadowy corners of soundtrack and cult cinema. He’s the host of The Sound of Fear, where horror film music takes centre stage, and has appeared on shows like Wrong Reel and The Last Horror Podcast. If it involves eerie synths, cult classics, or a vinyl release from Death Waltz Records, chances are Charlie’s already written the liner notes — and brought a flashlight. But is John Williams score for Star Wars still as brilliant as we remember? There’s only one way to find out; let’s dive in!</p><br><p>The Scores Are Not Enough is an unofficial entity, and in no way affiliated with Lucasfilm all copyrights and trademarks, remain the sole property of the original holders.

Back To The Future - with Becca Andrews
<p>Great Scott! For this episode we don’t just listen to movie music—we generate enough sonic energy to send us back in time! Today we’re celebrating the electrifying soundtrack to Back to the Future, and joining me on this temporal experiment is my special guest Becca Andrews, co-host of the film review podcast Do You Expect Us To Talk? and occasional contributor to Set The Tape! The moment Huey Lewis & The News unleash The Power of Love, we’re talking a full 1.21 gigawatts of nostalgia! So climb aboard the DeLorean, set the destination circuits for 1985, and hold on tight—because when this soundtrack hits 88 miles per hour… you’re gonna hear some serious music!</p><br><p>The Scores Are Not Enough is an unofficial entity, and in no way affiliated with Warner Brothers, all copyrights and trademarks, remain the sole property of the original holders.
