This is our most revealing episode yet; focused on answering many burning questions. Has Symphony of the Night become overrated over the years or is it still as impressive - or "crazy" - as it was nearly 30 years ago? Is the soundtrack weird or perfect? Who is "The SotN Guy"? How hot is Alucard? And maybe most importantly: why does it sound like this down here?
