I like movie music a lot – and Trek film music especially. This week’s podcast covers the music of the last two Trek films and a little from “Star Trek Beyond” which premiere’s in just two weeks. I start off talking about some recent Trek movie news, the “Sulu” controversy, and a few other items before getting to the main event. The music of Michael Giacchino from the recent Trek movies is really great I think and I talk about the films, his music and play several selections from the soundtracks. I think a great soundtrack can really make a movie special and very memorable. It was fun to record this show and play some of this great music along with talking about (and playing) the new Rihanna song “Sledgehammer” that will be in the new film (probably during the credits).
I finish up the podcast with a quick look at the Batgirl Premium format statue I recently got from Sideshow Toys. It’s an amazing piece, has a great application of pain and color, and I just love it. Check out the picture below. I think Sideshow might have sold out of this piece now, but you can try eBay.
That about wraps up things for this show. Next week Mark will be here for a look at the classic film, “The Day the Earth Stood Still” from the 1950’s. I’ll be back in two weeks for the big video podcast about “Star Trek Beyond.” Be sure to send me a short video with your thoughts on the movie after you see it. Take care until next time and enjoy your week.
