The Goldsmith Odyssey
A chronological journey through the filmography of composer Jerry Goldsmith, with special episodes covering new releases and interviews with people who knew (or know about) him well.
The Goldsmith Odyssey
Episode 22 - Gunsmoke - Love Thy Neighbor & Old Faces (1961)
This episode marks the latest installment of a seemingly never-ending blood feud between the Goldsmith Odyssey family and the notorious Time clan (led by the eternally stubborn Father Time). Your humble hosts David, Yavar, and Clark have killed a whole lot of hours over the course of this podcast, and eagerly take out three more in the process of discussing two episodes of Gunsmoke: "Love Thy Neighbor" (featuring an alternately somber and suspenseful Goldsmith score) and "Old Faces" (in which Goldsmith offers a variety of colorful thematic ideas and makes compelling use of the banjo). Tune in!
