ET The Extraterrestrial w/ Alex Geringas
Composer Alex Geringas (Batwheels, the Trolls franchise) joins us to discuss John Williams' totemic score for ET. We discuss Alex's childhood as an immigrant in Germany, how to score modern children's television, composing a grammy-winning song for Kelly Clarkson, and much more. Join us, won't you, as we get on our BMX bikes to phone home.
