Eye on the Prize Ep. 26 Pt. 1 – Reviewing the 2019 Best Original Song Nominees

Eye On The Prize Awards Show Podcast

Time to get musical in this show! It’s that time of year that Justin loves so much where we do a thorough discussion on the Oscar nominees for Best Original Song and Best Original Score. This year, however, we decided to bring on a professional. Our very own Eye on the Prize composer Lorenzo Emmanuel, who also composed the themes for The Gathering and Screener Squad, makes his podcasting debut to lend his opinion on what worked or didn’t work with these nominated pieces of music. Together with Justin, Shak, and Bradly, they get into a thorough discussion that had to be broken up into two parts. Just another day when Justin is in charge of a podcast…

For this part, we discuss the nominated Original Songs for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Black Panther, Mary Poppins Returns, RBG and A Star Is Born. Edited samples of the nominated scores, along with a couple other mentioned songs, can be heard throughout.

Be sure to support Lorenzo as well by checking out his SoundCloud page and recommending his work! Among the pieces available is a full-length version of the Screener Squad theme, titled “Maximize Damage”
