Composer Siddhartha Khosla on his massive hit that is ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING (now midway through Season 2), where those incredibly catchy melodies came from and why he loves to write them. The thematic reason why Sidd says the show needed an orchestra — and how SCORE: THE PODCAST’s own Carol Kuswanto ended up playing piano for the score! (She joins to break it down.)

We also chat with Sidd about whether discovering true-crime podcasts in between seasons changed the tone of his music, working with top-notch editors, and the hidden clues in season 1’s score. Interview by Robert Kraft and Matt Schrader, with Carol Kuswanto, only on MORE SCORE.

Score: The Podcast welcomes Mark Mothersbaugh, frontman of Devo and composer extraordinaire from Wes Anderson films, Rugrats, The Lego Movie, Thor: Ragnarok, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, The Royal Tenanbaums, 21 Jump Street, Hotel Transylvania, and video games including Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter and The Sims 2.

Robert, Kenny and Matt begin the show talking about the theme song Robert Kraft composed for “Who’s the Boss?” And some of their favorite memorable television show themes.

Then Mark Mothersbaugh joins the show to talk about his start composing music, after working with Devo, with Paul Ruebens and Pee Wee Herman, and his work with Taika Waititi on Thor: Ragnarok to evolve the “Marvel” sound.

In this week’s Behind the Score, composers discuss the temp score and how it impacts the creation and execution of music, and when it does (and doesn’t) work.

Then Mark returns to talk about the “post-ironic” era of superheroes and music, and how technology has changed the world’s listening habits and accessibility. Plus, The Simpsons’ parody of “Whip It” and how many parodies Mark’s heard of his hit Devo song and scoring The Lego Movie with a literal fader to switch between “orchestral” and “electronic.” Plus, Mark shares his many musical “orchestrion” inventions -- video available in our show notes below.

Lastly, Mark and the guys play a “animal movies”-themed edition of Name That Score, where you — yes, you! — could be a winner! Plus, a final question with the great Mark Mothersbaugh!
