Dave calls Jay about his favorite mascot ever, and the game that started it all, Sonic The Hedgehog.  SEGA decided to kick off the franchise in a huge way, with Jpop superstar Masato Nakamura from Dreams Come True doing the music and sound design.  Bringing his pop music talents for strong melodies, he took a film score approach to the music composition, especially after seeing the epic production art that Sonic Team had provided.  Scrap Brain Zone is a prime example of this sound, not only including grandiose music techniques like the tritone “Space Chord”, but being directly influenced from the iconic sci-fi film, Bladerunner.
