The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King w/ Sarah Shachat

In our first episode, Chris sits down with writer Sarah Shachat (Wolf 359, Unseen) to discuss Howard Shore's monumental score for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). Symphonic movie-making, which piece Sarah used as her pump-up music during college, which beacon of Gondor is the best, an extended discussion of Shelob's lair, and much more mark our discussion of one of the most storied scores of the 21st century.
