Author: Randy Andrews August 1, 2025 Duration: 1:42:05
Hello, I am Randy Andrews, your host. This is another older episode that got lost to the void. Eric Woods and I did three of the Indiana Jones films on Soundtrack Alley and then did Crystal Skull over on CSR. This episode is a little dated, but the facts remain and the music still stands tall. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom originally marked the 50th episode of my show. My show went through two iterations before I brought things back to the original title of Soundtrack Alley. Now I'm sharing this episode again. I hope you enjoy this!   Eric Woods and I go into detail on the film and its background. We discuss the behind the scenes, the sets, the locations, the action and adventure and so much more. The reason this film stands up so well is because of how tightly written it is. This episode will involve discussing some of the trivia from IMDB curated and then discussing some of the liner notes from the deluxe edition of the score of the film. Then we will discuss some of the brilliant music from the master John Williams. Eric Woods as you know is a talented podcaster who runs Cinematic Sound Radio and I am a part of his podcasting network. There are several shows associated with the network.
