Author of the international best selling books, Excelsior, and Ever Upward, George Sirius shares about how Steve Jablonsky’s score to the 2011 Michael Bay film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon has directly inspired scenes in the Excelsior Journey series. While George is a fan of the majority of Jablonsky’s work for Transformers, he explains why the score Dark of the Moon stands out in particular. We also chat about Jablonsky's filmography dating all the way back to when he was an understudy of Hans Zimmer and we discuss about how different composers from the Harry Potter franchise have helped inspire other scenes in his books and he shares about his quest to complete the Excelsior Journey trilogy and beyond! He is also the host of the Excelsior Journey Podcast and the From Duck Til Dark: Outside the Marvel Studios Podcast.More information about George and his work can be found at http://www.hesgotit.com He can be found on FB/IG/Twitter @georgesirois.

How Did a Writing Project Gone Wrong Ruin Garden State (2004) for Ryan? w/ Brandice Wilson and Nicole Barlow

4 Recommendations

Happy Valentines Day! For this week's episode, Ryan, Brandice, and Nicole talk about a film where a character tells another character "This song will change your life." which seems like the perfect film to discuss on this podcast! That's right, we discuss Zach Braff's 2004 film, Garden State, and it's Grammy Award Winning Soundtrack. Ryan and Nicole originally saw the movie in its original theatrical run, while Brandice had never seen the film until she was tasked to for the podcast, so there's an interesting discussion about how the movie spoke to our 3 hosts. We talk about whether the soundtrack and film have aged gracefully, the influence that they had on popular culture, and why this film didn't lead to bigger and better things for our actor/writer/director triple threat. Of course we talk about The Shins, and Ryan shares about trying to help someone write their own version of Garden State.
