The Miami-based Carlos Rafael Rivera joins to talk about his breakout of The Queen’s Gambit, followed by Hacks, Lessons in Chemistry, Monsieur Spade and Griselda, out now on Netflix. How he manages to maintain his Miami location for an industry that is largely located in Los Angeles. Plus, he revisits his 2017 adventure to go see Score: A Film Music Documentary in New York, and how he’s brought some of his teaching skills (and musicians) into his music work.

Before that, Kenny and Matt break down the Oscar nominees, as Robert joins a few minutes later to explain why Oppenheimer’s score (by Ludwig Gorannsson) is so groundbreakingly original.
