| 0:29.6 | Hey, Mousalja listeners, this is Jeff, and I'm here to introduce you to this week's episode of Mousetalgia's Best Ear Ever. |
| 0:35.5 | This week will be revisiting episode number, let's see, |
| 0:38.7 | 392, which originally aired on April 25, 2016. So this week, I wanted to revisit an episode |
| 0:45.9 | that we did where we talked to the amazing composer, John Devney. At the time, he had been, |

| 1:27.8 | Hocus Pocus 2 has just been released, of course, 29 years after the first Hocus Pocus. But John Devney, |
| 1:35.2 | I follow him on social media and he had been commenting, you know, a bit as he was kind of composing |
| 1:41.5 | the new score for Hocus Pocus and recording it in real time. |
| 1:44.9 | And it was kind of neat to see how these things work in real time as well, because it's not a whole, |
