Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein's FREAKS portrays the story of 7-year-old Chloe, who lives in both fear under her father's (Emile Hirsch) protective and paranoid control, and fascination of the outside world, where Abnormals create a constant threat - or so she believes. When a mysterious stranger (Bruce Dern) offers her a glimpse of what's really happening outside, Chloe soon finds that while the truth isn't so simple, the danger is very real. The film was released on September 13, 2019.

In this episode, composer Tim Wynn opens up six tracks from his original score. He reveals his musical ideas behind several of the main character themes and even how one theme, originally written for one character was eventually used for another. Tim shares which piece convinced him that a live orchestra was going to be needed for this score and lastly how having two directors on a film can lead to unique musical challenges for the composer.
