Wow. Cheers anyway 
Thankyou very much Indeed
Again thankyou kindly for your VAST knowledge. 

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones in American theaters.
 
The movie is not good, it has some atrocious CGI and laughable moments, but at the very least John Williams' score is amazing.
 
 

Thanks so much, Dr. Rick, for defending us. Looks like whoever wrote that removed the comment so thanks to them too.
 
(It's probably not clear that the links in our show notes do NOT give us any revenue or anything like that if there was some concern about that. We don't derive any money from anything at the IndyCast. All just for the fun and love of Indy and related stuff.)
 
And as you guessed, indeed, we hear from our listeners that our podcast does indeed flag them about music they do not know is coming. 

Calling it click bait is a bit harsh IMO.  Good grief it’s an Indiana Jones website, not a JW fan site.  I’m sure some of their listeners aren’t aware of any upcoming JW releases before listening to their podcasts.  

Steven Spielberg was in a nostalgic mood this week, appearing at the TCM Classic Film Festival to commemorate the 40th anniversary of “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial.” On the red carpet, he revealed that his beloved movie could have looked very different were it not for the help of frequent collaborator Harrison Ford.
Spielberg recalled that he came up with the idea for the film while shooting “Raiders of the Lost Ark” in Tunisia (via The Hollywood Reporter). He did not have time to write the script himself, but he thought he knew the perfect person for the job: Melissa Mathison, the screenwriter behind “The Black Stallion” who just happened to be dating Harrison Ford at the time.
“I pretty much had worked out most of the story and I needed a writer to write it with me, or write it just based on the story,” Spielberg said. “I was shooting in Tunisia; we were shooting outside the Well of the Souls with Harrison, and Harrison’s girlfriend Melissa Mathison was there on location…I was just talking to her and I told her my ‘E.T.’ idea, the whole story. And she said, ‘I’ve retired from writing, I don’t write anymore. I’m not interested in writing anymore. It’s too hard.’ She turned me down.”
Mathison may not have been interested, but Spielberg was not ready to give up on her yet. He took another route, opting to convince her by pitching the story to Harrison Ford first. It appears that his pitch resonated with Ford more than Mathison, as he ultimately convinced her to take the job.
“I went to Harrison and said, ‘Your girlfriend turned me down. She doesn’t want to write my next movie,’” Spielberg said. “He said, ‘Well, let me talk to her.’ He talked to her and she came to me the next day and said, ‘OK you got Harrison so excited about this. What is it that I missed?’ I think I hadn’t told her the story very well because I told her the story again and she got really emotional and she committed right there in the Tunisian desert.”
The collaboration turned out pretty well for both of them. “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” was a massive hit, firmly embedding itself in American pop culture and winning four Oscars from nine nominations. Mathison received the sole writing credit, picking up an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for her efforts. Mathison passed away in 2015, but she collaborated one final time with Spielberg on 2016’s “The BFG,” which he directed from a script she wrote.

Through some rabbitholes I found myself starting to explore electronic/ambient as an evening listen or work background music. Tidal's genre category led me to 3 albums I really liked:
 

From what I hear, Apollo's somewhat of a classic, I find it very calming and satisfying, with even somewhat of an arc to it as it grows from colder less varying textures to more melodic ideas by the end.
 

Sowiesoso's less refined but in a similar vein.
 

Jacaszek's Glimmer is a very different, more out there concept melding acoustics with noises and it hits my spots just right!

Happy to oblige, @Bellosh 

"You're telling me I'm not getting a goddamn theme until Indy V? Am I hearing this right, Johnny?!" "Don't fuck with me Johnny!"
 
"Yeah man, Indy V man, it's gonna be groovy man."
 
@Naïve Old Fart your post inspired me

"So, how many have you got?"
"Five".
"Five? Really?"
"Yep, five".
"Well, how many has Zimmer got?"
"Fucking three less".
"Fuckin' A!"

Damnit, you had me going for a moment there...  LOL

I'm not even going to bother making yet another thread, just going to bump this one instead. 

The Shark Approaches (Film Version)
The Shark Hits The Cage
Quint Meets His End
Blown to Bits
Jaws - End Title

@Manakin Skywalker
 
my goodness, your avatar again 

I'm here.

yeah totally fair.
 
also, why i included 'Blown to Bits'
 
i'm just always floored by the orca theme playing as Brody climbs the mast of the boat.  I know it's not Brody's theme, but I love how it plays softly and heroically for him specifically, as he's the true protagonist. 

The Shark Approaches (Film Version)
The Shark Hits The Cage
Quint Meets His End
Blown to Bits
Jaws - End Title

I long thought of it as Brody's theme for just that reason.  And also the harp as the mast sinks deeper and the uncertainty builds before the shark surfaces.
 
I have a feeling the Quint Meets His End was rescored because the shrieking jabs from the woodwinds were too reminiscent of Herrmann's Psycho.
