I live in the South San Francisco Bay area and there are two radio stations here that I listen to for soundtrack music. One is the college station KFJC 89.7 FM that has The Norman Bates Memorial Soundtrack Show on Saturday mornings from 9 am till noon. The other is an independent station KKUP 91.5 FM that has There's No Biz Like Show Biz on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Monday mornings from 6 am till 9 am. The KFJC show has an eclectic mix of music so you won’t always hear the same stuff all the time while the KKUP show is usually the best of Broadway, Golden Age of Hollywood, Disney and other animated cartoons. KKUP will also take requests over the phone. If you are outside of the Bay Area, check out the websites and you can stream the shows.

Not a big fan of listening to the orchestral soundtracks. The music frequently feels odd outside of the context of the movie. And it just makes me want to watch the movie anyways.
I do like to listen to the song soundtracks. Awesome Mix, from GOTG, for example. Judgement Night is another great album. The Batman Forever album is also surprisingly mostly good, way better than the actual movie at any rate.

I’m trying to make it as a film composer, you should check out some of my scores!

John Williams is a huge influence on my music, especially the one titled “set course for the stars”

I just watched a documentary called SCORE. A documentary about film scores.
It covers a lot of composers and there is a bonus interview with James Cameron on his work with James Horner.
My local library had a copy. I recommend if you can find it.

I've been listening to The Soundtrack Show lately and it's an excellent podcast. If you're into scores at all you should give it a shot.
Is that a podcast or web stream? I used to listen to Cinemagic on XM until they canceled the station.

It's a podcast sponsored on the How Stuff Works site. The guy who runs it formerly did the Star Wars Oxygen podcast with one of the Rebel Force radio hosts. He's a huge John Williams fan.

I saw David Collins do a panel on The Music of Rogue One at Celebration last year. Probably one of the best panels I have been to. I know it was recorded, but have never found it online. Going to give this a listen. Thanks for the link to this!

I love orchestral scores. Sadly, there have been no impactful scores in any new movies that have grabbed me in quite a while. They are all so bland now, overall, with some exceptions from Zimmer and Giacchino.
I am listening to the old Disney “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea” soundtrack right now.

I have thought the same thing. In a lot of cases I blame the sound mix from the movie. They seem to bury them in the sound mix more than they used to. I first noticed it on The Force Awakens. It was like the score was not there at all. When I started listening to the score by itself, there were a lot of strong themes there that ended up lost when watching the movie.

Interstellar didn't have that problem. Some of the organ hits felt like they were shaking my chair. Likely a reason why it's my favorite film score ever because I remember hearing it so vividly at the cinema.
Agreed! That mix split my eardrums.
Chris Nolan films have a good mix. All of the Batman films, inception, Interstellar and Dunkirk all had great sound mixes.
