Steven, Benjamin, and Sean drift into the shimmering electronic dreamscape of Vangelis, diving deep into the legendary composer’s filmography from Chariots of Fire to the thunderous majesty of 1492: Conquest of Paradise, the criminally overlooked Missing and Antarctica, and of course, the towering, neon-drenched titan that is Blade Runner.
While Benjamin and Sean flex their musical know-how, gleefully dragging Steven into the weeds of music theory, Yamaha CS-80 wizardry, and why Vangelis seems to adore Gregorian chanting, the trio find common ground in their eternal grievance that we still, in the year of our replicant overlords, do not possess a complete Blade Runner score release that actually matches the film!
Sean also unleashes a scathing takedown of Alexander, calling it one of the laziest film scores he’s ever heard.
Equal parts admiration, lamentation, and synth-soaked nostalgia, this episode is a tribute to one of cinema’s most haunting musical voices.
