Continuing our deep dive into Hans Zimmer's career we have a look at what was a left turn for him at the time, The Lion King (1994). Winning Best Score at the Oscars, Zimmer, along with Lebo M and songwriters Elton John and Tim Rice created a sound that has struck a chord across the world over multiple generations.

Listen as we discuss and deconstruct the techniques that went into making this fantastic score.

Today we begin our exploration of Hans Zimmer's career by taking a look at one of his first Major Motion Pictures, Rain Man (1988) dir. by Barry Levinson. Spoilers for the movie.

Due to the pandemic we have transitioned to podcasting on zoom but this first attempt left us with audio quality that wasn't quite up to par but we will be fixing it for the next episode!

In this episode we touch on some subjects that we know little to nothing about, including how this film portrays autism. Please let us know if we could have done anything better. Here is a website (for context) as to what Michael was referring to in the films impact on the perception of autism: http://www.interactingwithautism.com/section/understanding/media/representations/details/38
