After enduring years of catastrophic product failures at the hands of ACME, Inc., a tenacious, unemployed coyote uncovers a corporate cover-up and spearheads an unhinged battle against the multinational conglomerate that’s been blowing him up in the name of profit. The film has it all. Humor, heart, a legal battle and much more. There’s also a roadrunner. And dynamite. So that goes a long way to say that Coyote vs Acme is a blast!
As such, we were thrilled to catch up with an old friend of the site. And it’s shocking to realize that it’s been more than ten years since we last spoke with him. Steven Price, the Oscar-winning composer and electronic dynamo, is a mad genius whose expert talents were tapped to bring real emotion out of the looniest characters in pop culture.
Price’s work is often moody yet bombastic, synth heavy yet symphonic, but the reverence hits you every single time. Have a listen to “The Worst of the Worst” from David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and you’ll know exactly what we mean. He finds the soul of the picture whether the story has a tank, an alien race or is about being hopelessly lost in space.
Steven has been all over the map in the last decade and his latest work is something that truly came out of nowhere. Steven composed the music to Coyote vs Acme, and while Looney Tunes makes you think about outlandish characters and situations, the success of the story and the score is that it treats everything with a real earnestness. That comes across in the steel guitars, strings, piano keys and the sensational choir.
We talk about all that and more on this episode of The GoSeeTalk Podcast Experience. Beep, Beep!
The trailer ACME doesn’t want you to see. Check out Coyote vs. ACME, only in theaters August 28.
