John Williams' score for E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial is sure to get you sobbing in no time.
Music is one of the most powerful weapons in a filmmaker's arsenal, but not everyone likes a soundtrack designed to make audiences cry. Today: John gets a visit from Kristen Meinzer and Rafer Guzman, co-hosts of the weekly podcast Movie Date from WNYC's The Takeaway. They debate the tearjerking potential of "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial," "Garden State" and "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World."
