Today we begin our exploration of Hans Zimmer's career by taking a look at one of his first Major Motion Pictures, Rain Man (1988) dir. by Barry Levinson. Spoilers for the movie.

Due to the pandemic we have transitioned to podcasting on zoom but this first attempt left us with audio quality that wasn't quite up to par but we will be fixing it for the next episode!

In this episode we touch on some subjects that we know little to nothing about, including how this film portrays autism. Please let us know if we could have done anything better. Here is a website (for context) as to what Michael was referring to in the films impact on the perception of autism: http://www.interactingwithautism.com/section/understanding/media/representations/details/38
