You may be familiar with the expression: “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”

This week on The Score, Edmund examines films filled with “Frenemies” - relationships that can be charming… or chafing. Enjoy the on-screen rivalries of Buzz and Woody in 'Toy Story,' Thor and Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Davidge and Drac in 'Enemy Mine.'

This week on The Score, Edmund Stone takes a look at films that were made with modest or even meagre budgets and went on to generate huge box office returns. You may be surprised at some of these - from pop culture classics like 'Rocky' and 'Star Wars' to indie favorites such as 'Moonlight' and 'Get Out.'

Enjoy music from films with a lot of bang for the buck. What is your favorite low budget banger?

"When Christopher Nolan crafted his own cinematic version of the tale – in 70 mm no less – it was to create spectacle, which it does marvelously, but he also managed to dodge 'Sword and Sandal' clichés and depict the tragedy of war as it weighs on the human soul. .. The Odyssey doesn’t feel like a history lesson. It doesn’t feel like it’s over two hours long. It feels like a journey of what it’s like to be human."

They are the stuff that dreams are made of… with wheels. Cars are more than transportation, they can be status symbols, secret weapons, time machines, and ego trips.

This week on The Score, let’s get behind the wheel of some of the most intriguing - or absurd - cars ever imagined, as only Hollywood can. Join James Bond in his Astin Martin DB5, The Ghostbusters in the Ecto 1, and take a ride with Lightning McQueen and Sally Ferrara in 'Cars' - and more.
