Cinematic Sound Radio

Jason Drury, Rob Daniels & Erik Woods talk movies and soundtracks with Mike and the Mad Metal Man

We only had an hour but could have gone two!  (Why only an hour?  You’ll just have to ask Peter Kerr…stay tuned to Rock Daydream Nation.)  Regardless, Jason Drury has finally arrived in Canada after a long flight from the UK.

Over a year ago, Rob Daniels, Erik Woods, Harrison and I ranked all 11 Star Wars films.  Tonight was Jason’s chance.  Jason provided a quirky and interesting ranking of all 11 films that was surprising to all of us.

We also talked Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and its CD soundtrack, the odd physical release, and we reminisced about The Phantom Menace a whole lot.  Though Harrison did not see it in theatres originally, he is the only one of us who saw it in 3D.

As always, we had some viewer questions.  Jason and Harrison’s questions this week came from Jazz King!

This was a fun, loose chat and we all had a great time.  Just like hanging out with friends.

 

 

Join me next Friday at 3:00 PM EST with Jex Russell and Kevin Simister for a list show!  Top 5 Bald Artists!  Stay tuned!

Movie & Soundtrack Special: Grab A Stack of Guests! Jason Drury & Rob Daniels with Mike and the Mad Metal Man

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man

Episode 34:  Soundtrack Special with special guests Jason Drury and Rob Daniels

I’ve been wanting to do this show for years.  Due to time zones and schedules, this has proven difficult, until now!  Please welcome Jason Drury from Cinematic Sound Radio, who is visiting Canada from the UK as you read this.  You may remember Jason from his narration on the April 1 “Deke’s Palace” movie trailer.  Jason and Rob Daniels will be joining Harrison and I this week to talk movies, soundtracks, and of course, John Williams.  Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny may well be the Maestro’s final movie score, and Disney kind of botched the original CD release.  (My copy is due in October.)  We’ll talk about this, the Star Wars prequels, the composers that Jason has interviewed, and much more.

This week’s Ask Harrison question comes from Jazz King.

Don’t miss this one!  A fun time is guaranteed.

Redrum! A wickedly scary Top 5 Horror Movie show on the LeBrain Train

Big props to the panel tonight:  Eric “Uncle Meat” Litwiller, Rob “Chucky” Daniels and Erik “Velvet Voice” Woods!  Any time we cover movies, I am the luckiest host in the world to be able to lean on Rob and Erik.  I truly believe these two guys are some of the top experts on movie soundtracks in the world.  By extension, they also know movies like the backs of their hands.  This was a truly great show because we had three amazing guests on the panel.  Me, all I could do was tell amusing anecdotes!  (Watch the show and find out what my buddy Bob and I “learned” about women’s clothing from the movie Christine.

This is a show you’ll want to watch from start to finish.  The discussion far exceeded just a simple “top 5” list, with plenty of interesting runners-up scattered through the broadcast.  Go get a beverage and get ready to be inspired to watch a whole bunch of horror movies this weekend!

REMINDER:

A Very Animated Four Hours: An Epic LeBrain Train List Show

Going into this show, I didn’t know what to expect.  I’m not a big animation guy, as you’ll see.  But this was one of the most fun shows we’ve ever done in the umpteen months of this show!  The discussions were funny, insightful, and passionate.  The picks were diverse with some consensus on key animated films.  There was a little bit of CanCon and a little bit of Kiss.  And a lot of fun.

Thank you to our awesome panel this week:

I also did a an unboxing of the brand new RSD Triumph Allied Forces 40th anniversary box set (Canadian edition).  You gotta see this puppy.  Check that out right at the start of the broadcast.  After which, the lists commence!

Thanks for watching everyone, this was a blast from beginning to end!

 

The LeBrain Train Gets Animated Friday Night

The LeBrain Train: 2000 Words or More with Mike and Friends

Episode 79 – Nigel Tufnel Top Ten Animated films

 

I agreed to this week’s theme before I really thought it through.  When it came down to making my actual list, I realized how few animated movies I’ve seen.  However this show will not suck.  Rob and Erik know their stuff, and I’m sure Kevin, Lana and Harrison will bring it.  That’s your panel this week:

BONUS:  Unboxing!  You will not believe what Deke and I scored this time.  That will happen in the pre-show segment before 7:00.  Show up around 6:45 if you want to see the musical bounty we hauled!

We also need to update you on the upcoming schedule and future plans.  Stay tuned!

Friday August 13, 7:00 PM E.S.T. on Facebook:  MikeLeBrain and YouTube:  Mike LeBrain.

And next week…

 

Raiders of the Spielberg Lists

Ahoy, movie fans!  When we are fortunate enough to get Geoff Stephen to graph our lists as they happen, it adds an element of excitement.  We see certain picks take early leads, only for some to be wiped out when the big guns come out at the end.  In terms of graphing and trends, the Spielberg film lists were the most thrilling yet.

Your panel:

We also had bonus lists from Rob McKinnon and Sarca Sim.

On a personal note this was one of the most fun shows yet.  Erik was a fantastic addition to the panel with his encyclopedic knowledge of cinema.  And most of us will be back next week when we tackle Top Animated Films, a topic suggested in the comments by Harrison the Mad Metal Man.
