S2 E9 • Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) with James Bennett

“I’m the welcome wagon, it’s nice to meet’cha, friend!”

Hadouken your ears!

The lads are back (joined by good pal, and all-round Street Fighter connoisseur James “Jimmy” Bennett) and they’re all diving fist-first into the soundtrack for Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie — a 90s grunge-fest where Alice in Chains, Silverchair, Korn and KMFDM among others, battle for sonic supremacy.

We’ll throw down on the heavy riffs, wild moods, and cultural chaos that made Street Fighter II more than just a game — it was a global phenomenon that turned arcade cabinets into arenas, and anime fans into headbangers.

From Alice in Chains’ powerful “Them Bones” to Silverchair’s raw “Israel’s Son” and KMFDM’s industrial “Ultra,” this soundtrack hits harder than a Sonic Boom at full volume. The lads will also delve into their hazy early teen years, and uncover many a riveting anecdote, which may, or may not, include: Video-shop fountains, wet Mcdonalds bags….and Maplins!

It’s nostalgia, noise, and nonsense — one big musical Combo Breaker! 💥
