The Soundtrack with Haley Taylor

Like Father, Like Film: Father’s Day 2026

Celebrate Father’s Day with The Soundtrack as Haley Taylor explores some of cinema’s most memorable dads and the music that helped bring them to life. From the quiet moral strength of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird and the enduring wisdom of Mufasa in The Lion King, to the complicated bond between Indiana Jones and his father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the heartfelt reconciliation at the center of Field of Dreams, this special episode examines how movies shape our ideas of fatherhood, legacy, forgiveness, and love. Featuring unforgettable music by Elmer Bernstein, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and James Horner, it’s a Father’s Day tribute filled with nostalgia, reflection, and a few tears.

 

Haley Taylor hosts The Soundtrack every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. where she explores the scores of the silver screen. Tune in for an hour of unforgettable film music with a look at the composers and the stories that made these melodies sing. Stay connected by following Haley on Instagram.
