Beneath the Surface with Godzilla - King of Metaphors
Matthew Sweet takes musical inspiration from this week's new Godzilla film - the fictional filmic monster who has been inspiring metaphors and mayhem for the past 60 years.
This week Matthew looks at music for films which convey other meanings below the surface. His selection includes music by Alan Silvestri for Forrest Gump; Harry Gregson-Williams music for "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe"; Leonard Rosenman's music for "Star Trek" and Clinton Shorter's for "District 9". There is also music for "The Time Machine", and the Classic score of the Week is Akira Ifukube's music for the first in the Japanese Godzilla series.
The programme also features the latest film appearance of Godzilla with music by Alexandre Desplat.
