Special Episode: Capcom Crossover Music Roundtable
What happens when Capcom’s greatest worlds collide? In this special episode, Malfred is once again, joined by three special guests for a deep-dive discussion into Capcom’s legendary crossover games—from X-Men to Street Fighter to Marvel to SNK to Tatsunoko Production and beyond. We explore what made these crossover titles so exciting, how Capcom balanced wildly different characters and fighting styles, the evolution of crossover games across generations, and the music and soundtracks that helped give these battles their identity. It’s a celebration of fan service, arcade history, unforgettable matchups, and the games that proved that sometimes the best way to settle a rivalry is to put everyone in the same arena. Four fighting game fans. Countless worlds. Let the crossover begin. Questions? Comments about our episodes? Email us at Scorethispod@gmail.com!

Episode #14: Upgrade (feat. Marcus Pinn)
What happens when technology doesn’t just change the way we live—but takes control of who we are? In this episode of Score THIS, we dive into Upgrade (2018), Leigh Whannell’s stylish and brutal sci-fi thriller, and the pulse-pounding score by Jed Palmer. From Grey Trace’s transformation after a devastating attack to STEM’s increasingly dominant presence, we explore how the music drives the film’s shifting balance between humanity and machine. With special guest, Marcus Pinn, we break down Palmer’s electronic textures, aggressive rhythms, unsettling sound design, and recurring musical ideas, examining how the score mirrors Grey’s physical transformation and the growing conflict between man and technology. It’s Upgrade—a film where the body is the battlefield, the machine is the weapon, and the score keeps the system running.

Episode #12: Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (feat. Jim Search)
On this episode of Score THIS, we're stepping into the shadowy world of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, where hip-hop, philosophy, and cinema collide through one of the most distinctive film scores ever composed. Joining us is special guest Jim Search, as we break down RZA's groundbreaking soundtrack and explore how it shapes every moment of Jim Jarmusch's cult classic. From Ghost Dog's quiet rooftop reflections to the film's tense assassinations and meditative final confrontation, we'll examine how RZA's minimalist beats, haunting melodies, and atmospheric textures become the voice of the film's lone samurai. Along the way, we'll discuss the score's production, its influence on hip-hop and film music, and why Ghost Dog remains one of the most unique collaborations between a filmmaker and a music producer.
