Welcome to the podcast where we don't just talk about cinema—we make an ape-solute song and dance about it! Today, we are swinging into the concrete jungle to celebrate John Barry’s legendary 1976 score for King Kong, and I’m joined by a total silverback-to-back favorite on this channel, my good friend Steve Brownett-Gale! Steve is here to help me unwrap this musical beast without monkeying around, beating our chests in admiration as we scale the creative heights of this soundtrack. We will be deep-diving into the sensual, mist-shrouded beauty of \"Arrival On The Island\" and trying not to lose our minds during the panic of \"Kong Hits The Big Apple.\" It is going to be a wild, primate-time listen that will drive you bananas, so grab your headphones and hold on tight!
