Ep. 119: Get That Pop

With but a fistful of recommendations, Josh and Emily continue their search for the motherlode amid the piles of debris that now occupy the once buzzing bar. Fortunately, they have an alternate source to fuel the podcast: a never-ending string of errors which can only be corrected on subsequent episodes. So, join Josh and Emily as they take a break from the excavation stage to chat about ending screens on summer days, the relative hardness of ringside pickups, and how to prepare AI to replace humans in sacred rituals. Special appearances by Sonic the Hedgehog, Cool Spot, Megaman, and Xipe Totec.

  1. What!? Another VGMJB so soon! Just have to comment on corrections: while I love seejng Carrotman whenever he comes around, I can say from personal experience that if *I* make a mistake when making my request, I totally feel it's not on you good folks to make up for it. I am humbled by your kindness, but let the record show that the mistake was all mine.

  2. Thanks for playing SNES version! I've seen a bunch of different versions out there on Youtube and a few other places and they all seem to be different lengths. I think the one you guys played was a little longer than the ones I've listened to and had a few cool riffs I don't think I'd heard before. Sadly, the biggest Mega Matt change is probably a loss in helmet integrity: thinning material, receding in the front, big hole on the top of it. Energy Tanks aren't as full as they used to be, either. Takes real motivation these days to hit the gym and keep Guts Man from sneaking up on me. I guess you either die with Zero or you live long enough to see yourself become Dr. Wily.

  3. Great music and great episode as usual both! :) Really loved the Wario Land Advanced track especially.

    Also maybe MegaMatt is now MegaMatt X ;)

  4. Hey Josh and Emily! It’s been a while. My name is SpecterVamp, but you might remember me better as Yoshimitzu.

    It’s great to hear you guys putting out episodes again. The episode you two put out last month was an absolute blast from the past, and it makes me very happy to see that you might be back in business again.

    Josh, I don’t know if my dad (Utopianemo) ever thanked you on my behalf for Mother 3. I replayed it recently, and my gosh that game is beautiful. So thank you.

    I have some track requests at some point, but that can wait. For now, welcome back. Yoshimitzu signing off. See ya!
