Ep: 96 John Paesano (The Boroughs, Maze Runner)

Season 10 · Episode 6

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 39:08

Our next guest is an Emmy and Grammy-nominated composer who recently scored The Boroughs, Netflix's supernatural drama from creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, executive produced by the Duffer Brothers. Set inside a seemingly perfect retirement community, the series follows a grieving newcomer whose monstrous encounter pulls him into a hidden world of danger and unlikely heroism — and its score rises to meet every moment.

He discusses what drew him to the project and how he approached building a sweeping orchestral sound rooted in the unashamed, front-and-center scoring of the '80s and early '90s. He talks about growing up on John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and Alan Silvestri, and what it means to write in that tradition today, music that sits right alongside the performances, tied closely to character and story rather than sitting in the background.

And the composer is... John Paesano

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 51:18

He cut his teeth bringing over 15 films to the Sundance Film Festival, went on to score critical favorites for HBO, Netflix, and the indie world, and most recently delivered a brilliantly offbeat score for A24's Friendship starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd. I’m so excited to be chatting with him today.

And the composer is... Keegan DeWitt.
