QUICK BANGS. A fresh addition to Never Stop Candy Bang.

We’re launching something spontaneous and exciting: quick-fire episodes dedicated to sound, vision, and storytelling that moves us. From groundbreaking films and unforgettable TV episodes to exceptional sound design and music, and stories that push boundaries, Quick Bangs is where we celebrate work that stands out.

The concept is simple: we grab the recorder, hit record, and dive straight into conversation. No overthinking, no overproduction—just pure, unfiltered passion for sound.

Quick Bang 01 – Sorry, Baby

In this special episode, Sophie and Pete sit down and discuss Sorry, Baby, the wonderful film by Eva Victor that gave them a reason to chat...

This first conversation touches on the film’s performances, its nonlinear approach to memory, and the gentle cinematography that allows its characters to breathe on screen.

“It’s such a simple story, yet told with such clarity and intention. The relationship at the beginning is so well established, which makes the shift that follows all the more powerful.” - Sophie Sound
