5/16  Fighting The Good Fight  Music and moments from some of Hollywood's best interpretations of humans challenging injustice, including Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, V For Vendetta, Star Wars, Battle of Britain, and a few more.
5/23  Legendary Tales  The stories are passed down through the ages but did these individuals exist?  On The Score how Hollywood re-invents stories of Robin Hood, Dracula, Beowulf, The Loch Ness, Pope Joan and Boewulf, and we are joined by Britain's expert on King Arthur and the Holy Grail who may, just may, tell us if these legends are true.
5/30  Stand-Up People  Causes need champions and movies deliver them in larger-than-life portrayals.  On this edition host Edmund Stone offers examples to cheer the underdogs and right a wrong from Dead Poet's Society, To Kill a Mockingbird, Erin Brockovich, Ghandi, and a few more.
