EP95 - Temple of Doom 40th Anniversary

In today's episode, we commemorate the 40th anniversary of Temple of Doom, which first premiered on May 23rd, 1984! To honor this monumental occasion, we decide to revisit the official soundtrack from the film and talk about each iteration of the "Raiders March" that appears in the score. We explore why John Williams decided to alter this iconic theme for specific moments in the film and how those similarities and differences affect the emotional impact of each scene. We'll also play samples of the music so you can follow along with our discussion!
