> ... I think I tried listening to this? If it's what I'm remembering I bailed about 1/3 into it as everything was so minimalist and 'thrown together' sounding as to be annoying to me. And I like what Powell did for the Bourne movies!

I’m glad I started watching the show before I heard the album. HUGE help with “getting” the music. Still, I acknowledge I’m probably at the high end of positivity for this one in our community.

> Wasn't aware of the Sidney Sweeney Western or of the crime-thriller coming our way this year

I wasn’t aware of the Western either before he briefly mentioned it in an interview focused on Damsel. It got shown at SXSW all the way back in March 2023! The director apparently said his favorite score is Bob Dylan’s Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, so maybe expect something like that. I wouldn’t be shocked if Hillbilly Elegy is what got David the gig.
