Soundtracks - Film Scores - The people that are responsible for creating great entertainment.

There have been many-an-episode of The 2GuysTalking Podcast that have focused on “sound.” Even more that have focused on soundtrack, but relatively few have brought forth a true architect of the cinematic music realm

I am proud to announce the most recent “Under the Hood” Interviews with IRON MAN 2, PREDATORS and PASSION OF THE CHRIST soundtrack composer John Debney.

John was gracious to offer me the time to interview him where we learn more about “he brings it” to the proverbial cinematic table.

From the true nature of big bangs, overdone special audio effects to future projects, John gives us the details about being one of Hollywood’s most sought-after composers of feature film music.

Share this interview with fellow movie geeks and be sure to t\ell me what YOU think about it!

I’ve been a cartoonist - well - since I can remember sitting in front of a piece of paper. Over the years, there are few movies that fuel me - that light the inspirational idea fires that carry an afternoon, a concept or effort and Toy Story is truly one of them. In fact, ALL of the Toy Story films, from the first (1995), the Toy Story franchise has illuminated many a night and tonite was no exception!

I had the pleasure of welcoming in a fellow Digital Footprint specialist, Brad Hogenmiller, who spent an hour with me talking about this classic visit to the realm of animated toys that truly changed the game in regard to animated films. Read on below for more details and please be sure to tell us what YOU think not only of this classic first offering, but of the second two. We’ll be reviewing Toy Story 2 & 3 over the next two weeks and we’ll be using YOUR comments inside of our podcast reviews!

We take on the first of three  Perspective Reviews as we take on TOY STORY (1995)!

(Small Business Communications Podcast Intro begins: typewriter feeding in paper is heard. The typewriter’s guide arm slaps into place. Typing begins as the music begins to fade in…) Small businesses are one vital component of the American economy that manage to weather any financial storm. They are the foundation of what makes opportunities for millions each and every day. My name is Kent Martin. I’ve seen just about every kind of business model there is over the years. Some are strong, others have endured and some - well - if there weren’t bad ones we couldn’t understand how great the good ones are, right? So join me as I share perspectives, theories and outright facts about how businesses both large and small communicate and how YOU can strengthen and improve your company communications during the 2GuysTalking Small Business Communications Podcast.  (Typewriter bell dings)
Once upon a time … that’s how almost every fairy tale begins. And let’s face it, who among us doesn’t enjoy a good story told well? Just about everybody enjoys storytelling. And if you’re a small business owner trying to break through the clutter in today’s media traffic jam, that’s good news.

Because you don’t have to be overwhelmed by all the choices available today online, broadcasting, social media, print name it. It may seem that the ways to communicate are complex and endless, and your task is overwhelming.
In reality, what matters is what you want to tell your audience. And how you do that is through telling a good story.
Consider some of the more memorable stories you’ve ever heard about a company or an organization. Colonel Sanders had been selling his famous fried chicken to patrons of his restaurant for years before launching his franchise empire at the age of 65. What about the secret recipe for Coca-Cola? The inventor who created Post-It notes while working for 3-M and didn’t know what to do with an adhesive that wasn’t terribly strong until he noticed how useful it was in helping keep markers in hymnals at his church.

Hour 21 - Let Me Introduce You To My Little Friend(s)

Could 13 Be a Truly Unlucky Number for 24?
The 24Podcast Lights Candles and Watches for the Canopy!

We previously wondered how last week’s episode was written by the same team of writers because it was that good. This week’s episode clearly has lineage to the two previous episodes - more like the evil, deformed, left in the corner too long pseudo-twin, actually. With a return to lazy writing, instant fixes, impregnable bullet proof vests and yes - yet ANOTHER MOLE, this episode feels the wrath of two guys who tire of the same old same old. What did YOU think? Strap on your flight suit, cue the cheesy “Goose is dead” music, and prepare for the onset of what we think just might be a flat unrecoverable spin for 24.

(Music Starts) “Ready, Set, Go! - Fringe - In - Sixty…” (Music Ends) Go!

Mechanical Beeping in Sequence

Ticking Clock begins…

Two coworkers share coffee - and another tremor - (shuddering wave-like sound)the sixth during the same day - in their office - in New York City? During the episode known as “Jacksonville.”

They’re just microquakes surely a byproduct of the other other fringe science called “Global Warming!”(shuddering wave-like sound)

As one of the workers adjourns for the evening another violent quake arrives, (shuddering wave-like sound) car alarms ignite outside (car and fire alarms sound), the frame onscreen shakes as if we’re reviewing another shot from the summer blockbuster STAR TREK! (echoing “also another JJ Abrams project”)

Another violent tussle and (shuddering wave-like sound and blast sound) a FLASH! As the lights spool up and sparks shine a dancing vision of what’s happened, the remaining worker awakens!

This shoulder pinned to the ground by a pole that has strangely appeared, his office in chaos and - oh yeah, he’s got two extra sets of arm and legs!? He bellows and screams! (bellowing and scream is echoed in two distinct voices)

Budda-budda-buum.. Dooopa-dooda-doopa, da doodoo doopa doooa…

Agent Dunham calls Peter and tells him that they’ve just won a free trip to New York City!

(echoing) New York City? Yes, New York City! (Ricochet)
