In this episode of Score THIS, we dive into the explosive sci-fi classic Total Recall (1990). We break down Jerry Goldsmith’s legendary score—an intense mix of bold orchestral power and futuristic synth textures that perfectly captures the film’s mind-bending action and Martian atmosphere. From the massive brass of the Main Titles to the tension-filled chase cues, we explore how the music fuels the story of Douglas Quaid’s reality-shattering journey to Mars.

So the real question is… is it memory, or is it real? Either way, the score is unforgettable.

🎧 Tune in and get your ass to Mars.

Editors note: We recorded this episode last year in 2025, and some of our references are a bit outdated. But, we hope you enjoy the episode!

This is just some bonus footage of stuff we recorded before and after the Total Recall episode. Enjoy our random talks about......whatever. 😁

Score THIS is about the scores that have scored our favorite media from Film, Television, and Games. We break down the score and how well it works with the media, but more importantly can you listen to it on it's own?
