Deep Bass Podcast

In Episode 023, we covered "The Last of Us" and what a phenomenal game/soundtrack that was. Between that episode and today, we received "The Last of Us" as a television show, and despite the Deep Bass Podcast being generally music focused, we HAD to cover this. Unfortunately, we couldn't get Cody on the show due to some scheduling conflicts, however, we found someone who is substantially better anyway... my wife! That's right, Amanda has joined me on this adventure, and coming from someone who doesn't particularly play video games, but loved the absolute heck out of "The Last of Us" (both the game and the show), she brought with her some fantastic insight. Join us as we talk about the show as a whole, how it compares the game it was adapted from, and tidbits in between (with music present, of course)! If you're interested in talking to us more about the show, this episode, or anything else, feel free to head on over to our Discord: https://deepbasspodcast.com/ If you enjoyed this or any other episode, please don't forget to follow and review us -- only takes a few more minutes after the podcast is over, and helps us out tremendously. B-Sides is a spin off set of episodes that fill in some game adjacent topics we want to cover that may not be specific to just video game music itself. It's our catch all for important topics in games without being completely restrictive. Welcome to the premier episode, and thank you, as always for listening!

Peter and Cody really cannot wrap their heads around it, but it has been one whole year since the Deep Bass Podcast recorded it's first episode, and what a journey it has been. What better way to celebrate than to cover a game with the largest soundtrack they could find? At over 1,000 songs, this was the biggest soundtrack they've listened to, and at over two hours and 15 minutes, the longest podcast they've ever recorded. Not too bad to cap off the first season! In this episode, Peter and Cody talk about the last year, including some of the best and worst moments of the podcast. Then they dive into SSBU, talking about their history and (reluctantly) picking their five favorite songs. This was incredibly challenging, given that every track on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate soundtrack is legitimately a gem! There are a few other hidden gems that make this their most content filled episode to date. You won't want to miss it! Question of the Episode: If you had to pick five tracks from the SSBU soundtrack, what would they be? Tell us over on Twitter @DeepBassPodcast, or stop by the Discord and hang out: https://discord.deepbasspodcast.com/ Also, to celebrate this milestone, we've released shirts and hoodies! You can pick one up right here: https://merch.deepbasspodcast.com/ And as always, thanks for listening, and we'll see you next season!

Escaping the underworld can be hard. But at least if you're going to do it, you should have the composure and good looks of best boi Zagreus! In this week's episode, we talk about the music from yet another beloved title from the minds at Supergiant Games: Hades! Composed entirely by Darren Korb, we are presented with a soundtrack unlike any other in games that we've covered, and it does Hades much justice. Roguelikes are certainly not Cody's forte, but Peter tries his best to convince him that if he plays only one roguelike ever in his life, Hades should be that game. Does he succeed? Take a listen and find out! Question of the Episode: Which Olympian gives you your favorite ability to use in Hades? Tweet us @DeepBassPodcast, or join the conversation over on Discord: https://discord.deepbasspodcast.com/ Buy the soundtrack on Bandcamp: https://supergiantgames.bandcamp.com/album/hades-original-soundtrack As always, thank you so much for listening!

Unova is in danger again and instead of Team Plasma it's... Neo Team Plasma? Ooookay then. Peter and Cody sit down to talk about Pokémon Black and White Version 2 which neither have played, and both are highly confused about it's existence. Their personal opinions aside, they dig into over 120 tracks to find their top five and talk about their history and experience with Pokémon, as well as Peter's completely healthy and normal obsession over Pokémon Go. Composed by Go Ichinose, Hitomi Sato, and Teruo Taniguchi, does the Pokémon Black and White Version 2 OST hold a candle to the flame of the past four generations? Take a listen and find out! Question of the Episode: If you were introducing someone brand new to the franchise of Pokémon, which game would you start them off with? Answer this and previous episode questions on Twitter @DeepBassPodcast, or stop by the Discord and let's break that 240 character limit: https://discord.deepbasspodcast.com/ As always, thank you for listening!

If your country was ravaged by an infection that destroyed most of the nation, turning major cities into barely livable encampments, and where the militia will kill you for stepping foot into areas without proper certification, how would you survive? In The Last of Us, Joel and Ellie survive on hope, their growing friendship, and really, really bad jokes. But they're totally worth listening to! The Last of Us was a major hit on the PS3, and saw a remaster on the PS4, but while you'll hear a lot about the story, gameplay, and graphics, one thing we don't hear much about is the music. Composed almost entirely by Gustavo Santaolalla, we are presented with an outstanding score that would knock most cinematic full length films out of the park. Outstanding from beginning to end, this is one episode you are not going to want to pass up on. Question of the Episode: If you could take one video game or video game series and turn it into a movie/TV series, what would it be?
