Justin: Hey, Diana. It is Friday. Your favorite day of the week.
Diana: Yes, and Friday is a good date night day.
Justin: Is that a hint?
Diana: Yeah, it’s always a hint.
Justin: It is always a hint, yeah. And date nights are a fun thing for most people. I would think. You know, and a lot of times people go to see a movie.
Diana: Yeah. That’s a really good-, I know that’s a lot of our dates earlier on in our relationship.
Justin: Absolutely.
Diana: Movies and food.
Justin: Yeah, movies and food. Absolutely, so.
Diana: It still sounds good to me now.
Justin: That’s right. So, movie sound tracks are what you went around the office this week asking favorite movie soundtracks.
Diana: Yeah, you know, I think you can tell a lot about a person when you hear about their favorite movie soundtracks.
Justin: Oh, you can. Absolutely.
Diana: And, you know, the movie soundtrack, sometimes it’s just simply songs that were inspired by the movie.
Justin: Right.
Diana: Or songs that were used in the movie. Or, you know, when they are really developed, it can be like the actual score that was played in the film and it can be the orchestral and.
Justin: Yeah, you know, people don’t think as much as they should sometimes about the movie soundtrack. And that, you know, that music is what makes you feel the way you feel a film.
Diana: Oh, yeah. I mean if you ever watched a movie without the, the music playing behind it.
Justin: Right.
Diana: Sometimes, you know, you’ve seen documentaries of the behind the scenes. You know, try watching that and see it’s just such a different experience.
Justin: It is. Absolutely. Music adds a lot to it-, to the film. So you went around and did the Friday Favs thing.
Diana: Sure did. Sure did.
Justin: And asked about these favorite soundtracks. I think it’s interesting. Donnie at the front desk-, this does not surprise me. He loves anime and I didn’t even know there was anime suspense drama.
Diana: Yeah. I think there’s anime everything.
Justin: Yeah, but he said, Bleach. I don’t know what that is.
Diana: Yes. And I’ve heard of Bleach. I don’t know if it’s just because Donnie’s mentioned it.
Justin: Probably.
Diana: I think it’s a relatively popular anime.
Justin: I think so.
Diana: Yeah. That’s one of those things if you’re into it, you’re into it. And if you’re not, you’re not.
Justin: Right. Exactly.
Diana: But yeah, he likes Bleach. John.
Justin: Yeah, John.
Diana: This is my favorite response I think.
Justin: Our tech leader, this is interesting for our tech leader. He says, “I’m stuck on the Frozen soundtrack right now.”
Diana: Frozen. Like Disney’s Frozen.
Justin: Yup. John, big, burly, ex-marine John likes Frozen.
Diana: Yeah. And he will listen to every version of any song from Frozen. You know, Let it Go is the big one.
Justin: Yes.
Diana: That’s been popular. He just loves it. It’s really cute.
Justin: Well, and Disney does put out some great stuff. Definitely.
Diana: That’s true. That’s true.
Justin: And of course we know, Jodie’s been blasting it at the office, so we know that her favorite was Frozen.
Diana: Yes. So, Jodie and John, they’ve been bonding over their love for Frozen.

Diana: Yes. Yes. He’s talked about that one before I know. He really likes that soundtrack. Now, I’m with David on his pick. Well, he has kind of a few here he named off. I’m really, really digging his stuff here. He says, Batman Darknight or Edward Scissorhands or Alice in Wonderland. Really anything Danny Elfman.
Justin: Yes, of course.
Diana: Is what David says.
Justin: Danny Elfman is known for doing the kind of offbeat Tim Burton.
