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 44 - Thriller - Guillotine (1961) with Leigh Phillips
Say, what's that great big thing, amidst this collection of freshly-lopped heads? Sacre bleu! I's a new regular episode! Longtime friend of the show (and Certified Thriller Expert) Leigh Phillips joins David, Yavar, and Clark to discuss Jerry Goldsmith's music for the Thriller installment "Guillotine," a score that is by turns ominous, slyly beautiful, and darkly playful. The guys examine the score's echoes of other Goldsmith works (particularly Basic Instinct), debate the degree to which the episode is intended as dark comedy, consider the possibility of this score being re-recorded for a potential third volume of Leigh's Thriller series in the future, and much more. So grab a big plate of fresh pancakes, press play, and enjoy!
