David W. Collins interviewed the guys on The Soundtrack Show as well, with part 2 of the interview coming next week: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-the-soundtrack-show-29021108/episode/cobra-kai-composing-an-interview-with-76440773/

I recently got ProjectSAM's Swing! and Swing More! to update the Sam & Max Hit the Road soundtrack: Besides those I'm using EWQL (both Symphonic Orchestra and Hollywood Orchestra), LASS (Lite 2 for now) and a few Vienna instruments (which I hardly use though). For anything that's missing I'm using free SF2s or VSTs. By the way, is there a good Soundfont VSTi where I can just load different SF2s to the different MIDI channels? Currently I'm using Phenome, but it appears to be ignoring note velocity, which seems to be a huge oversight.

If Donner will only direct one last movie in his career I'd prefer it to be a Goonies sequel though.

The difference though being that Identity was written as one piece, while BoBW Part 2 was written after Part 1 aired, without a resolution thought of when writing part 1.

Was it maybe just a scheduling problem? I know that him shooting Payback was at least the reason he hadn't had time to grow his hair longer.

Looking at current action movies, the 4th LW was actually quite alright. Lots of hand-made action set pieces, and a Riggs who finally had to acknowledge that he is now in fact too old for this shit. I can't imagine what a 5th movie can bring to the table. I can see Gibson still kicking ass (although he had to be doubled in a lot of the 4th movie's fight scenes already), but Glover is really just an old man now.

Treating myself to a nice set of virtual jazz instruments (Swing! and Swing More! by ProjectSAM) as a late Christmas present, I simply had to do this track first. EDIT: Now with more tracks! The plan being to give the whole soundtrack this treatment.

I'd still say Deep Fake would provide a much more solid base than those full CGI faces they are doing. Then use your available resources (which should be plenty, if free software and 3 days of work can already get you so far) to fix the typical DF artifacts (adding a CGI mouth interior is obviously much more simple than doing a whole head).

It was on Twitter. Seth McFarlane posted a clip from the S2 recording sessions, so I automatically had to ask when it would finally release. Dan Goldwasser answered with a "Good things come to those who wait" GIF (which LLL liked as well), so I assumed it would be part of LLL's Black Friday batch. Well, at least it wasn't far behind. I linked those Tweets in the BF speculation thread on here.

Not exactly no where. Dan Goldwasser hinted at it shortly before Black Friday.

Judging by HTTYD (even more so than Solo) Powell would be perfect for this.

Didn't they state that the scanner only checks if the face is in the criminals' database? Since Mando has never shown his face to anyone, it obviously isn't.

Just for fun:

Yes. Originally I only provided artwork for the release (via my LucasArts Posters project), but when the original announcement came out and people weren't too happy with it, I offered LRG my help for a re-design. I've designed most of the main box, and added more artwork throughout the project. By the way, the book is a collection of behind-the-scenes articles, making-ofs and brand new interviews with all major players, plus tons of artwork. It isn't finished yet though. (The editor, Gamespite's Jeremy Parish, is speaking of 150k words, so it's going to be a big one).

After today's exchange on Twitter, I have high hopes that one of the 2-CD sets is in fact the S2 soundtrack from "The Orville": Not only did Dan Goldwasser post that reply, LLL also retweeted it.
