Briggon Snow returns to My Big Score to accept a new mission: discussing Danny Elfman's 1996 score for the debut film of arguably our most consistent modern franchise - Mission: Impossible. The origins of Lalo Schifrin's iconic theme, the tortured composition history of this film, its audacious use of silence, and much more will be discussed. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen! So join us, won't you?

The main theme was composed by Erik Jourgensen.
