BackJack: The Samurai Jack Rewatch Podcast

After a peaceful journey through a beautiful norhtern forest, Jack comes to the rescue of a handful of refugee spacemen looking to escape AKU! Jack agrees to help them with their desperate plan: launch into space and hit lightspeed before being devoured by AKU's space-bug armada! But can rocket-pack Jack smack a tick attack before the spacemen can launch him back into the past with SCIENCE? This week on BackJack!

While wandering in the woods, hunting for food, Jack is confronted with a rampaging beast of elephantine proportions! Securing the beast from harm, he is met by tiny evil blue men with tridents and snarky attitudes. Are these Critchilites all they seem? Or is something more sinister at the heart of their lazy and annoying culture? And what of the Woolie, who begs for Jacks help? This week on BackJack!

Samurai Jack and his new pack of canine friends prepare to repel a massive column of beetle drones, sent bu AKU! They will make use of every dog-stereotyped vehichle at their disposal, in an amazing 1980's A-Team-inspired montage! But can one samurai really stand against an entire mechanized fighting force, alone?

Exiting the portal in time that AKU used to exact his ultimate vengeance, our hero is forced to cope with a world where that evil is LAW. When confronted with the topsy-turvy state of his home, can the newly-aliased "Jack" find his way, even with the help of a familiar friend?

In the "official" beginning of the series, we witness Evil's rebirth via full solar eclipse, and the consequent destruction of everything the Emperor had rebuilt. Absconding with her son and the celestial magic sword, Jack's mother sets the boy upon an epic path. The Emperor's friends from around the world forge him into a Hero capable of facing AKU, but as we shall see, not defeating him. Join Matt and Andy as they say "Mythological timescales would give us a headache if this weren't a cartoon!" this week on BackJack!

In part two of our premier of the podcast, Matt and Andy go in to an in-depth examination of Evil, Mid-Life Superheros, and of course, Aku's laughter. ENJOY! Don't forget you can read their show notes at www.backjackblog.wordpress.com, find their Facebook group, and tweet us @backjackpodcast!
