Welcome to the Boomtown
PaulWhen I listen to the Maltin On Movies podcast, I expect to hear from screenwriters and directors as well as cast and crew. It was a great surprise to hear Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy talking to Leonard and Jesse Maltin about composing for film and television.

Maltin on Movies: Patrick Stump
Patrick Stump is no stranger to success. He's been the lead singer for Fall Out Boy for 24 years and just completed their latest tour. He's done voice acting and scored a number of film and television shows, but in our household he reigns supreme as the writer and performer of the theme song for Spidey and his amazing Friends on Disney Jr. He truly loves both the film and music world and happily chats about both in our conversation.

Óli Gneisti (English)On The Ice Storm (1997)
> A film one can admire without actually enjoying.
# Thank God It’s Friday (1978) BOMB
> Perhaps the worst film ever to have won some kind of Oscar (for Summer’s hit song, “Last Dance”)[.]
Ghosts Can’t Do It (1990) BOMB
> Just when you think it can’t get any worse, Donald Trump shows up in a cameo.
According to his daughter¹ Leonard Maltin was surprisingly vulgar when he described the film Inception to her:
> What a fucking piece of pretentious bullshit
The review in his guide was more diplomatic, likely written by a member of his team:
> Ambitious, exceedingly well-crafted film, written by Nolan, works too hard to show off its cleverness and intricacy and even betrays its own ground rules when it suits the filmmaker.
Though "well-crafted" might be interpreted as being somewhat insulting.
