This week, Destinies continues its memorial for Oscar and Grammy Award-winning composer and songwriter Richard M. Sherman.

Tune in Friday night, and travel back to August 30th, 2013, when Richard joined Perseverance Records producer Robin Esterhammer for a telephone interview to discuss and introduce selections from the 45th anniversary re-release of the soundtrack of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

In this re-mastered and expanded edition, you'll hear songs from not only the film soundtrack but also the London Cast Recording of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, starring Michael Ball.

You'll learn about the new songs written for the stage production, which also ran on Broadway, as well as how certain lyrics were updated.

Plus, you'll be treated to a specially created version of the title song, sung in multiple languages, compiled from recordings made around the world.

Friday, September 6th, at 11:30 PM.

From Howard Margolin:

Last week, Alien: Romulus opened in theaters, reviving the 45-year-old franchise with its first entry in 7 years.

This week, the Destinies Film Review Team assembles to discuss the movie. Tune in Friday night at 11:15 PM, and find out whether this new entry breaks through like a chestburster, or if it's just another alien dog. Does the film break new ground within the series, or is it just an Alien version of "The Force Awakens?"

Are the characters compelling, or are they just ciphers whose fates end up meaning nothing but excuses for gore?

Who were the standouts in the cast? How did the re-creation of the likeness of actor Ian Holm come across? And, what is this film worth on the famous Destinies zero to $9.50 rating scale?

Find out when hosts Howard Margolin, Timothy Gillespie, and Justin Paul review Alien: Romulus.
