You know, that really really loud background music they constantly play in the background whenever something dramatic happens -- does anyone happen to know it's called?

Not sure, incidental music or something?

As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who's presumably responsible.

I have to agree, the music kind of spoiled things sometimes. It was far too loud and intrusive, and drowned out a lot of what the actors were saying.

Exactly! I also found it insulting, as though the filmmakers didn’t trust the audience enough to understand the emotions of the scene.

The music reminded me of the type in cheap tv westerns from the 1960s.
