Film Score Recap: April Through June 2024

The Film Scorer

Although we've just entered 2025, this series is deep in the middle of 2024. The months of April, May, and June released some of my favorite scores of the year (feel free to guess which) as well as arguably the most popular score of the year in Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Challengers, and plenty more scores, both big and small. I also noticed that I've interviewed almost a third of the composers mentioned during this period - I still get surprised now and again with just how many folks I've interviewed!

Keep your eye on The Film Scorer website for reviews and articles covering some of these scores, including detailed writeups and lists.
