Episode 2-6: This Isn't Even My Final Form!

Very Good Music: A VGM Podcast

We've all been there. That one rogue you keep fighting just won't stop coming back, or that boss you think you've finally beaten still has one more form you have to destroy. It's annoying. Unless it's amazing.

What's also amazing is when composers go above and beyond and compose a theme for each boss's fight or phase. This episode - an idea of Shootkapow's, chosen by YOU, the listeners - is a celebration of these themes.

As always, we'd love to hear from you! @Shootkapow on Twitter, via e-mail at [e-mail], on anchor.fm/vgmvgm, on patron.com/vgmvgm, or by searching the name of our show on YouTube and leaving us a comment!

Thanks as always to our lovely patrons: The Last Rican, Kung Fu Carlito, Skeletroy, and The Messenger!
