Fast, Furious or Funny – Tricked-Out Cars
07/11/2026
They are the stuff that dreams are made of… with wheels. Cars are more than transportation, they can be status symbols, secret weapons, time machines and ego trips. Next time on The Score, let’s get behind the wheel of some of the most intriguing - or absurd - cars ever imagined, as only Hollywood can. Join James Bond in his Astin Martin DB5, The Ghostbusters in the Ecto 1, and take a ride with Lightning McQueen and Sally Ferrara in Cars - and more.
Bang for the Buck
07/18/2026
This week on The Score Edmund Stone takes a look at films that were made with modest or even meagre budgets and yet generated huge box office returns. You may be surprised at some of these - from pop culture classics like Rocky and Star Wars to Indie favorites such as Moonlight, and Get Out. This week on The Score - it’s films with a lot of bang for the buck.
Frenemies
07/25/2026
You may be familiar with the expression: “With friends like these, who needs enemies?” If so, then you know what a “Frenemy” is. Today on The Score we’re looking at films filled with “Frenemies” - relationships that can be charming… or chafing. Enjoy the on-screen rivalries of Buzz and Woody in Toy Story, Thor and Star Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Davidge and Drac in Enemy Mine.
