During the pandemic, we've all learned to be creative about how we do the things we love. The film industry did the same, with the return of the Drive-In and streaming films. Now as movie theaters begin to open, host Edmund Stone looks back at the Rise of Streaming, the 2021 Academy Awards and shares some Feel Good Movies, we'll all be glad to enjoy.

This month host Edmund Stone takes us into museums, to Ireland, pays tribute to female film composers, and together we celebrate 15 years of great film music. 

Composer Terrance Blanchard has a long relationship with filmmaker Spike Lee.  Blanchard said this about writing for Spike's films: "One of the things with Spike's movies is that the music takes on a narrative role." We'll hear a conversation with Blanchard in the Feb 20th broadcast.

We all can use a good laugh now and again, so mark your calendar for January 9th when we can all laugh along with Edmund Stone's favorite comedies, including a bit of the Brit with The Pink Panther.

Mythical places have often been the setting for adventure films.  Edmund Stone visits some of these cities through the music of the films, Nov 14th.
