• 507: Jake Schreier & Son Lux On The Music Of Thunderbolts*

  It's a Thunderbolts* special on our latest episode of Soundtracking, as first director Jake Schreier and then composers Son Lux join us to discuss the music of the latest installment of the MCU franchise. Thunderbolts* tells the story of an unconventional team of Marvel antiheroes - Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker - who embark on a dangerous mission that forces them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts - while, of course, attempting to save the world in the process.

• 506: Gareth Evans On The Music Of Havoc

  It's bonus episode time again, as writer / director Gareth Edwards joins us to discuss his riotously entertaining action thriller, Havoc, which is currently the number one film on Netflix. Starring Tom Hardy, it tells the story of a hard-nosed detective, who must fight his way through the criminal underworld to save a politician's estranged son. Havoc is scored by Aria Prayogi, who has worked with Gareth on numerous occasions and very kindly responded immediately when producer Ben reached out to him on Instagram, desperately seeking an example from his unreleased score to Apostle. Thank you Aria!

• 505: Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard, Emiliana Torrini & Simon Byrt On The Music Of The Extraordinary Miss Flower

  As we like to do as often as possible on Soundtracking, we are celebrating an independent film this week, as first directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard and then musicians Emiliana Torrini and SImon Byrt join Edith to discuss their collaboration on an esoteric gem, The Extraordinary Miss Flower. This picture is quite hard to describe, if we're honest, but was basically inspired by behind-the-scenes friend of the show, Zoe, who discovered a suitcase full of her late mother Geraldine's letters, which suggested that Geraldine had led a much more exotic and, well, extraordinary life than Zoe could have possibly imagined. This in turn inspired an album's worth of songs from Emiliana, co-written and produced by Simon, which form the backbone of this movie - directed by Iain and Jane.

• 504: Ryan Coogler Ludwig Goransson on The Music Of Sinners

  Our latest guests on Soundtracking are friends of the show, but have never been on together. So it's an absolute delight to welcome Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Goranssen to discuss their collaboration on Ryan's new film, Sinners. Starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role, it tells the story of twin brothers who return to their hometown, only to be confronted by a supernatural evil.

• 503: Kevin Macdonald On The Music Of One To One: John & Yoko

  Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Kevin Macdonald, who joins us to discuss his extraordinary documentary, One To One: John & Yoko. Set in the period between 1971-73 when the pair lived in a tiny apartment New York's Greenwich Village, it revolves around the footage of their One To One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, which was, remarkably, the only significant live performance of John's after he left the Beatles. We also get plenty of never-before-seen video of their time in the Village and a truly insightful series of telephone conversations. One To One was made with the blessing of the Lennon estate - with Sean Ono Lennon overseeing the remastering of the audio, which was only salvageable thanks to developments in technology.
