Speaker 3 Hi, I'm Dylan, your friend and jeweler at Shane Company. As a customer service specialist, I love helping couples find their dream engagement ring.
And guess what?

Speaker 3 I just got engaged, so it was fun to create one myself. First, my fiancé tried on a bunch of ring styles and she was drawn to a classic diamond pave setting.

Speaker 3 Then we looked at different diamond shapes from pear to oval to cushion. She fell in love with a princess cut.
At Shane Company, you can create a one-of-a-kind ring and get it in days, not weeks.

Speaker 3 Because a friend wants you to have a magical holiday proposal. Shane Company, your friend and jeweler.

Speaker 5 Alrighty, folks, today we're going to be playing Name That Score. So I love movie scores.
I know many, many movie scores.

Speaker 5 So my staff has decided to test my knowledge and my arrogance by playing just a little bit of movie scores, and we'll see what I get and what I miss.

Speaker 5 We're going to give you one second, give you more if you need it.

Speaker 5 Dune? No.

Speaker 5 Well, I'll give you a hit.

Speaker 5 What is this? I don't know. Oh, what? What is this? Oh, man.

Speaker 5 I'll give you a hit.

Speaker 5 Get fired.

Speaker 5 What is it? Oh, this is episode one. This is Agi's municipal band at the end of episode one, where they're celebrating Naboo.

Speaker 5 What the f?

Speaker 5 You picked the least memorable part of the ball. That is one of the most memorable ones.
What are you talking about? This was a bad start.

Speaker 5 No, that was bad. No, no.

Speaker 5 No, that's not even that. That's not even like...
Is that the part where like,

Speaker 5 yeah, okay, you see it? You see? Okay.

Speaker 5 There we go. If you give me that, I would have gotten it.
If you gotta the horns, I would have gotten it.

Speaker 5 Oh, no. Okay, this is going poorly from the outset.
All right, fine. My arrogance has already been

Speaker 5 punctured here. Hopefully, that calibrates things for you.
It does. It also tells me your selectivity period.
Oh, my God. This was all filled.
Don't look at me. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Number two.

Speaker 5 Superman. Wow.
Nice. Nice.

Speaker 5 Wow. Who's the composer? John Williams.
Okay. Well, that's how we should have started.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Number three.

Speaker 5 Good, Bad, and the Ugly? Yep. Wow.
Who's the composer? Morconi? Yep. Number four.

Speaker 5 Casablanca. Nice.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Oh, Interestellar. Wow.

Speaker 5 All the modern scores are more thematic than the older scores. Meaning, what I mean by that is that they tend to repeat a theme many, many times.

Speaker 5 So, Zimmer particularly does this.

Speaker 5 Like, you kind of reach the apex of light motifs in Williams' scores, and then you get into kind of reduction of that all the way down to like one theme repeated over and over, which is what you get from a lot of Zimmer scores, for example.

Speaker 5 If you go to the older scores, you're getting like full wall-to-wall music for an hour and a half. You saw Zimmer in person.
Was that awesome?

Speaker 5 When you hear all of his scores back-to-back, it's less impressive than when you hear the scores in isolation because a lot of his scores sound incredibly similar back-to-back.

Speaker 5 And also, you realize that they are repetitive and also like they're a great moment in Zimmer's scores. Next one:

Speaker 5 Lawrence of Arabia. Nice.
Nice. So that was five seconds.
Yeah, who's the composer?

Speaker 5 I'm not forgetting the name of this one.

Speaker 5 Maurice

Speaker 5 Jerry. Yeah, Jare.
Gera. Maurice Ray.

Speaker 5 Here we go.

Speaker 5 That sounds kind of hard.

Speaker 5 That's James Horner, for sure.

Speaker 5 But who's the score? You don't like this movie.

Speaker 5 1997.

Speaker 5 Paint me like one of your friendships. Titanic? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Here's the funny thing. I'm not sure I've ever seen Titanic beginning to end, but I can identify the composers.
Wow. And I know what a Horner score looks like.
Yes. Yeah, how did you know about it?

Speaker 5 Dallas Horner scored.

Speaker 5 that's every James Horner score sounds kind of similar. You can go to every James Horner score from Field of Dreams to A Land Before Time, and they all kind of sound.
You did A Land Before Time?

Speaker 5 Yeah, Horner did a Land Before Time, I believe. Wow, that's awesome.
I love those movies. Ducky.
Yeah. You know, Ducky, the voice actress for Ducky, was murdered at like age 11 or something.

Speaker 5 That's a terrible story. Why are you fucking up everybody's life?

Speaker 5 That's a horrible story. Thanks for that.
Cut that part.

Speaker 5 Nope.

Speaker 1 Okay, next one.

Speaker 5 And Godfather. It's again Morricone.

Speaker 5 Nino. Nino Rota? Damn it.
Damn it. Nino Roto.
Otalian. Yeah.
Alright, next.

Speaker 5 Up.

Speaker 5 Five seconds, dude. You are a five seconds.

Speaker 5 Wow. Do you like Michael?

Speaker 5 That's his best score.

Speaker 5 That's his best score. Not the Incredibles? No.
Well, I like the Incredibles also, actually. He does his best work for Pixar, no question.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Like, his work for Star Trek is really not nearly as good. 11.

Speaker 5 Batman. Five seconds.
This is nuts. But it's life stop.
Now you want to get nuts. Come on.
Let's get nuts. Composer? I mean, that would be, as I said, Zimmer and James Newton Howard.

Speaker 5 No!

Speaker 5 No. Oh, you're talking with the Elfman? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Yeah, yeah, the Elfman. The Elfman.
Wow. Backjack by yourself.

Speaker 5 Next.

Speaker 5 This Bond.

Speaker 5 Which Bond? Like all the Bonds? Yeah.

Speaker 5 I went older. Yeah, I don't know who wrote this.
Who's the writer? John Berry. John Berry.
1964. Yeah.
Yep. Extra points.
Do you know which movie that's from?

Speaker 5 I'll give you a hint. It's Connery.
Well, I knew that. I knew that.
When you said 64, obviously. Yeah.
What is it? Doctor No?

Speaker 5 Close. Birch.

Speaker 5 The.

Speaker 5 Really close.

Speaker 5 The.

Speaker 5 One more. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Birch

Speaker 5 gold singer.

Speaker 5 Gold bangery. Let's be blunt.
Gold just hit $4,000 announced for the first time ever. Currently, it's up 50% for the year.
That's not speculation. That's just reality.

Speaker 5 If a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you are, in fact, missing the boat.

Speaker 5 I recently re-upped with Birch Gold like a few months back because, you know, I'm not super certain about where the economy is going. Inflation remains too high.
The US dollar is still too weak.

Speaker 5 Government debt, it's insurmountable. Central banks have been flocking to gold as a hedge.
It's not too late. As I say, I just did this again myself.

Speaker 5 What fun with the ad in S here on the other side? Really good.

Speaker 5 All right.

Speaker 5 This is Psycho.

Speaker 5 You're really close.

Speaker 5 Rear window?

Speaker 5 Really close. A little older.
Vertigo? Yes. 11 seconds.
Composer.

Speaker 5 Martin. was this Herman? Yeah.
Yes.

Speaker 5 Yes, Bernardo. Yes.
Yes. Wow.

Speaker 5 Rocky. Yep.
Four seconds. So good.
That's,

Speaker 5 and, and,

Speaker 5 why? Man, I'm getting old when I'm forgetting the names of the composers. I know exactly who this is.
Wow. I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
Oh, what? That is, what a hit.

Speaker 5 That is, you're not going to get that. Y'all, Conte.

Speaker 5 Oh, wow. That worked.

Speaker 5 That is crazy. I'm really good at taboo, I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 Okay.

Speaker 5 Terminator 2. Wow.
Of course, I can't. You knew this.
Wow. It was a sequel.
You knew. Yeah, yeah.
Well, that movie, I know. Yes.
Wow. I know that movie all the way down to the ground.

Speaker 5 It's a great movie. And I cannot remember who did the score to that because it's not a great score, actually.
Brad Fidel. Yeah, Brad Fidel.
It's not an amazing score.

Speaker 5 It works, but it's not amazing. Next.

Speaker 5 I know this.

Speaker 5 You know.

Speaker 5 Sing in the Rain. Yeah.
Yep.

Speaker 5 Nice. That was hard.
That's starting to be. Yeah, well, yeah, the intro.

Speaker 5 Do you know the composer? Because I've only thought about Gene Kelly. No, I only know that.
I only know the well, Stanley Donan is the director. Yeah.

Speaker 5 I'm trying to remember who the composer. Well, it's kind of weird because a lot of those songs pre-existed in the movie.

Speaker 5 And so, like, The Singing the Rain song is actually like a 1920s song that gets recapitulated and moved into the 50s.

Speaker 5 Because the whole movie takes place in the 20s, right? It's Silent Hero.

Speaker 5 Who's the composer on it? Nashio Herb Brown. Yeah, I was going to get that.

Speaker 5 All right. Next one.

Speaker 5 Back to the Future. Nice.
Fine.

Speaker 5 It's...

Speaker 5 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 5 I know exactly what it is. Yeah, yeah, he did Forrest Gome.
He did. It's.

Speaker 5 that little groundhog that goes, huh?

Speaker 5 What?

Speaker 5 You know the name he says?

Speaker 5 Oh my gosh. These are the craziest hints I've ever seen.
Exactly.

Speaker 5 Jurassic Park 3, T-Rex is saying this to Sam Neal.

Speaker 5 Alan. Yeah, Alan Sylvester.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 You knew what I was talking about.

Speaker 5 By the way, one of the great cues in movie history, the cue between when Doc goes up, when he's sitting downstairs, and before the lightning hits the tower, when the wind blows down the wire, that cue from there to when Marty gets back to the future, which is like an 11-minute queue.

Speaker 5 Amazingly good cue. Amazingly good cue.
What a good movie. Robert Demecca's had a big follow.
He did.

Speaker 5 He's one of the, it's amazing how, you know, Francis Fort Coppola is about to auction off his watches because he spends so much money on Megalopolis.

Speaker 5 Final cut's important, Ben. Are you going to be placing any bids on any of of these? Dude,

Speaker 5 if it's a live auction and it's taking place on Shabbat, if it were not taking place on Shabbat, I would 100% put a bid on one of his data. No question.
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 And it would smell like weed for sure.
