For this episode you’ll need to grab your fedora, keep your whip within reach, and try not to look directly into any mysterious ancient artefacts, because today we're celebrating one of the greatest adventure scores ever written: John Williams' magnificent music for Raiders of the Lost Ark. From the first triumphant blast of the Raiders March to the suspense, mystery, and snake-infested peril lurking throughout the score, Williams doesn't just accompany Indy on his quest—he practically cracks the whip and leads the expedition himself. Joining me for this archaeological dig through the soundtrack is Val, better known as Spaceodds1985, as we tip our hats to the music that helped make cinema's most famous archaeologist a treasure beyond measure. So dust off your map, follow the musical clues, and let's embark on a score-tastic adventure that's sure to belong in a museum!
