Movie Music 1: interview with Randall Poster (Aaron Aradillas)

Part 1 of a three-part series on music in the movies by Aaron Aradillas

Randall Poster is one of the best Music Supervisors working in Hollywood today. His debut soundtrack was for the controversial teen-angst drama Kids in 1995, which featured the Top 40 Alt-radio hit “Natural One” by The Folk Implosion. Since then, he has developed long-running collaborations with such filmmakers as Harmony Korine (Gummo, Spring Breakers), Todd Haynes (I’m Not There, Carol), Richard Linklater (School of Rock, Boyhood), David Fincher (Zodiac), Todd Philips (The Hangover, Joker) and Martin Scorsese (The Aviator, The Wolf of Wall Street, Killers of the Flower Moon). His most important collaboration is with Wes Anderson; Poster has overseen every soundtrack for every Anderson movie. Their latest collaborations were for this year’s Asteroid City and The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar.
