7/18: Fast, Furious or Funny: Cars as Stars - 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. Next time 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.
7/25: Bang for the Buck - This week on The Score Edmund Stone takes a look at films that were made with modest or even meagre budgets and yet generated huge box office returns.
