Robert and Kenny begin the show by talking about the early release of The Lion King soundtrack and whether reboot soundtracks qualify for awards, Michael Giacchino leading this year’s Annual ‘Musical Anatomy of a Superhero’ Comic-Con Panel and other hot releases this week including Spiderman: Far From Home and Stranger Things 3.
