Hey there! Sorry for the massive delay on this episode. I bought a new computer and had to transfer all my files over and get everything set up, and it took way longer than I expected when trying to fit it in alongside a bunch of freelance writing assignments which had fast turnarounds. And then, as if that wasn’t enough, it took hours to get my microphone recognized by said computer. So, again -- sorry. We'll make it up to you with a new episode this coming Monday.

Composer Timothy Williams has begun to make a name for himself with recent films like the heavy metal horror of We Summon the Darkness and the supervillian origin tale, Brightburn, with scores that manage to straddle two worlds simultaneously. Williams is also a long-time orchestrator and conductor, having tackled the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool 2. His skillful work around pop song needle drops and big time action means that we had a lot to discuss in this interview, and it's a real blast to hear some behind-the-scenes tidbits about all of these films.
