Episode Details

Award-winning composer Kris Bowers is the man behind the musical scores for films like Green Book, King Richard, The Color Purple, and The Wild Robot, as well as TV series like Bridgerton, Mrs. America, and Dear White People. His latest score is for the new animated movie Goat, which follows a small goat named Will who has big dreams about joining the pros to play roarball — a high-intensity sport that’s a lot like basketball. Kris joins guest host Garvia Bailey to tell us how he brought some advice from the late Kobe Bryant to the project, why he wasn’t worried about writing “serious film music,” and how this movie helped him honour his family roots.
