I'm Chris Hewitt and welcome to the latest Empire podcast interview special and apologies

by the way I'm in Belfast ahead of Tlight's live podcast, Tickets are still available and

I'm recording this on my iPhone.

Yep.

Anyway, David Arnold and Michael Chiquino are two of the finest composers in the business.

They've scored the likes of Cassine Royale, up Hot Fuzz Star Trek Independence Day lost,

Sherlock Spider-Man Far from Home, Good Omen's Doctor Strange and many, many more over

the last few years.

At some point it's a safe bet you've hummed at least one of their melodies.

In this Friday night they're going head to head at the Royal Albert Hall in London with

a show called Settling this Score in which some of their finest cues will be performed.

So naturally I asked them both to come into the Emperor Poth booth earlier this week when

I quickly discovered that the two are amongst the funniest people to ever grace the Poth booth.

Now that should have come as no surprise both are very good on Twitter and Chiquino is renowned

for his fantastic track listings after all.

Still, their dynamic together is playful and often hilarious and I haven't had as good

a time in the Poth booth since the Lee One L interview last year.

So over the next hour or so you'll hear us talking about whatever the hell it is that

they want to talk about whilst I struggle manfully to get things back on track and actually

ask about music.

Eventually I succeed.

Kinda.
