SEPTEMBER EPISODES 

Sep. 5 
Celebrating the start of the academic year with an hour of School Days. We'll learn about The Perks of Being a Wallflower from Michael Brook and visit a (very) pre-Dowager Countess of Grantham, Dame Maggie Smith, in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.  

Sep. 12
An encore of our episode exploring the scores of John Williams in the 1980s, from the smash hits of Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones to lesser known work like Andy Kaufman's Heartbeeps. 

Sep. 19
An hour celebrating films that take a left turn and give the audience the "twist ending" music from Orson Welles' Citizen Kane and of course, M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense. 

Sep. 26 
Our monthly feature of newly released soundtracks and listener request. Have a favorite film score you haven't heard in a while? Email it to Jamie at MovieMusic@wkar.org.
