Hello and Welcome to Food For Nerds! 

This week our co-host Jake takes the reigns and tackles the topic of soundtracks in media. From popular films to TV shows and composers, Jake teaches Kendra the history of soundtracks and music in the entertainment industry. Kendra adds a bit of psychology to the mix as she helps explore how music interacts with the brain and why you may have vivid memories tied to specific types of music and media. Also, uncover a secret love of Phil Collins, learn more than you wanted to about the soundtrack to Shrek, and discover how the soundtracks to movies such as a Streetcar name Desire, James Bond, and Star Wars still have an impact in our society today. 

Today's episode was based mostly on the documentary "Score," watch it on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/510689/score_a_film_music_documentary
