Saliva Music Band (and other Grunge-Pop-Hard Rock Music Trends)
Enjoy this part new episode, part re-edit: Cam Sully, Jon Mark & James Alex Krueger (Composers: The Movie Score Podcast) look at the overall Grunge Rock music cliches, trends, marketing and actual sound with the group Saliva being the partial focus. Why do record studios not let originality breathe? Why do so many groups have to make everything sound like the 5 other groups already in existence? And why can't we just let every new subgenre be its own thing instead of endless comparisons?

YOUNG & DANGEROUS Hong Kong Gangster Film Saga Reviewed
I get to dig into the mega-hit Hong Kong gangster franchise YOUNG AND DANGEROUS: Starring Cantopop singer-turned-actors Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang & Nicholas Tse and directed/shot by Andrew Lau & Alan Mak (INFERNAL AFFAIRS trilogy), it blends what feels like a typical gangster drama with a rap music video-style turf war, dark comedy & stylish fight scenes!

Zack Snyder's Zombie Movie Trilogy
To conclude the flesh-eaters themed week, we note Zack Snyder's Zombie themed trilogy (Dawn of the Dead remake, Army of the Dead & Army of Thieves): Is the 2004 version of Dawn the rare example of how to make a remake its own thing without having to draw needless comparisons to the original yet completely different film? And that and why the Netflix follow-ups cause a divisive reaction! (Plus, why The Crazies is also a rare kind of remake that stands on its own two feet.) ...
