25 Cent Film is back! Host, McNeill Mullikin, returns with brand new co-host, Justin DaSilva, for a fresh era of movie talk. In this comeback episode, we’re diving into our Top 5 Film Scores of the 21st Century. While McNeill's and Justin's movie tastes align, our musical sensibilities take different paths—covering everything from sweeping blockbuster themes to haunting international scores, from prestige dramas to the magical worlds of animation. We break down what makes these scores unforgettable and why they’ve stayed with us long after the credits rolled. It’s a celebration of cinema’s most powerful storytelling tool: music!
