In this episode Matt and Chris each share their 4 top composers as part of the Masters of VGM cross-podcast event! Visit mastersofvgm.com to hear other great video game music podcasts pick their favorites.

Matt takes us for a ride on a rainbow and breaks down a great chord progression from a game where a plumber and a child with a head that looks like a mushroom drive around in go karts.

Chris does a solo show and covers Brinstar Underground Depths from Super Metroid by Kenji Yamamoto
