Settle in for a marvelous conversation about soundtracks and scores, before revisiting our chat about all things Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle.
Music Moves Us On Screen
Sherin is joined by special guest host David Disspain for a conversation about music that starts with Tron: Ares and Nine Inch Nails’ creative genius and blossoms from there. From 1899 to Dark, Bridgerton to Grey’s Anatomy, they discuss the use of anachronistic music and how songs shape iconic scenes. Listen in for their favorite music-led moments, the unexpected hits, and how scores fuel emotions. With plenty of pop culture nods along the way, including Quentin Tarantino’s influence on using contradictory songs, the way Stranger Things brought Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” back to the charts, and more.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle
Now that you’ve had a chance to watch (and rewatch) Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle, it’s time to revisit our Rioters’ conversation about it. Julian and Jasmine tell Sherin all about the first chapter in the film trilogy, breaking down the audience reactions, the characters and cinematography, and the standout scenes.
Joined halfway through the conversation by Samuel Leggett Jr, our hosts explore why Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba is so beloved, as well as the draw of Infinity Castle. Why do we root for these characters? Why is it important to consume both the manga and the anime? The hosts get into a deep conversation about satisfying storytelling, taking us all the way through the franchise. (Read Julian’s review for more.)
