DESCRIPTION: We’re back with part 2 of our incredible chat with Michael Giacchino, composer for “M:I-3” and “Ghost Protocol” (whose new album “Travelogue, Volume 1” is out now!). We get more details about “Ghost Protocol,” including how he suggested Brad Bird to JJ, and the diversity of the score’s sounds. And we discuss the very pun-filled track titles on all of his albums, including the alternate pun-y version of “Rogue One.” Plus stories about “War for the Planet of the Apes” and Space Mountain! Released November 13th, 2020.

SHOW NOTES: Check out Michael’s website and follow him on Twitter and Instagram.
