The Reel Score

Welcome to The Reel Score: where we unspool the film reel, slip on our headphones, and discuss the character of music in the movies. Co-hosted by Sam Fife and his Fake Nerd cohort, Brandon T. McClure, along with their good friend Jeremy Villucci.

The Reel Score is finally here! In the premiere episode, the trio digs into the score for last year's hit film: The Batman. Michael Giacchino served as composer and there's so much richness in his deceptively simple themes. Some time is spent setting up the show and establishing the relationship to score all three have, but the bulk is going to be a lot of consideration for the work Giacchino did to make this film such an incredible piece of art. They go over the transition of Bruce's journey done through music, the parallels in the Riddler's Ave Maria based theme, and how Selina's theme emanates great noir. You're not going to want to miss this premiere episode!

Check back once a month for a new score discussion!

*Note, there are some minor echo issues in the audio work, this will be remedied in future episodes.

**We do not own any of the music or visuals featured from Warner Bros. Pictures film, The Batman, that appear in this video. The use of that footage, along with the music composed by Michael Giacchino and under the label of Water Tower records, is strictly for critical analysis.
