I am going to have to watch "Momma" and pay attention to the music now!

JakeGould:

So late to comment but have been listening…

When he was talking about always saying yes, what movie did he say “Yes!” too that at the time didn’t seem so hot. “Bill and Ted” or “Heathers” maybe?

egould310:

Thanks for the interview Devin. I always learn so much about music and film from you and your guests. So informative and entertaining.
  7:49pm
egould310:

Bill and Ted. His wife didn’t like the film, so he passed on it.

Fox:

Gawddamit. Every time I listen to your show I get annoyed that it isn't three hours. This is GREAT.
  7:51pm
egould310:

Didn’t pass on it. Jeesh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:51pm
Devon E. Levins:

egould310 He said he "almost" passed on it b/c his wife hated it but he ultimately did the score. I played a track in the opening. It's great.
  7:55pm
egould310:

Yes. Thanks for the clarification.
  7:55pm
JakeGould:

Thanks for the clarification. “Bill and Ted” is amazing to think of as bro film considering what followed it. I guess it’s because Alex Winder and Keanu Reeves are genuinely cool guys.

Watching a movie with a live orchestra is AMAZING!!!1!

I like the fact he’s really bridging the old world of Hollywood soundtracks with the new. Really cool perspective.
