5/6 Get into the Game:  Movies based on video games This week Edmund Stone gets into the realm of digital imagination with movies such as Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves, Prince of Persia, Game of Thrones and more. We’re game if you are!

5/13 Mother Knows Best Movies magically connect us to the people we see them with, including our mothers. For this episode, we've asked mothers among The Score's listeners to share movies that they've loved watching with their children - at any age. Guest host Warren Black shares the results, a multigenerational list that includes Lady and the Tramp, Moonstruck and more.

5/20 Evil Sidekicks What’s a film without a good bad guy? And what antagonist could do all their dirty work without a henchman? Edmund Stone brings out the best music for the baddest of the bad - evil sidekicks in movies. Jeer along as Odd Job and Jaws give James Bond a hard time in Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me; sneer at Horace and Jasper in Cruella, mutter with the Minions, and be spellbound by the evil of Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix.

5/27 Origin Stories Everyone gets their start somewhere. This week Edmund Stone has all the back-stories on favorite film characters before they were famous. Find out how the Avenger Natasha Romanoff became the Black Widow; see what was going on in The Shire with The Hobbit and get a look into what Star Fleet Academy was like for the cadets who would one day be the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek.
