Score: The Podcast welcomes Tyler Bates, composer of films including Guardians of The Galaxy, John Wick, Watchmen, 300, Dawn of the Dead, Slither, Super, Atomic Blonde and the upcoming Deadpool 2 (May 18).

Robert, Kenny and Matt begin the show talking about who might be the next composers of James Bond, and each make their picks for the composers they’d love to hear. Then they talk about how the Academy Awards are changing their format for Best Original Score and Best Original Song and how it will affect which scores win awards.

Tyler Bates enters the studio to talk about producing and performing with Marilyn Manson, living in a haunted cabin and being part of two exorcisms. (What?!) Plus how he uses his music to accommodate the modern trend of films having a soundtrack — including Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

A new episode of The Inside Track with Music Psychologist Dr. Siu-Lan Tan explores the difference between music and noise, and how sound is incorporated into many modern scores with intense, dramatic results that often elevate a film.

Then Tyler talks about scoring striking visuals in the films of Zack Snyder and the upcoming Deadpool 2 releasing May 18.

Lastly, Tyler and the guys play a “space movie”-themed edition of Name That Score, where you — yes, you! — could be a winner!
