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.
