The end. Thank you for listening.  Itunes/Google Play approval is taking a while, but in the meantime you can hear the first episode of American RetroPie here: https://anchor.fm/arp That page will be updated as it's available on other platforms. Thanks again, and we hope to see you there.

This week, we discuss Furious 7, the final movie featuring Paul Walker. It also has Kurt Russell and Jason Statham, so this is pretty much the best one.   [Music used: Intro -- Stickshifts and Safetybelts by Cake | Outro -- Drive My Car by The Beatles]

This week on Star Tracking, after discussing Final Fantasy X and Blazing Chrome, we get a wacky Ferengi adventure, as Quark, Rom, and Nog travel back to Roswell, New Mexico in the 1940s. Hijinx ensue!  [Music used: Intro -- Deep Space Nine theme | Outro -- Space Truckin' by Deep Purple]

Time for everyone's favorite subject, Star Wars! Also Kamen Rider. And there was some business about an arrow and a guy dying. We're almost done. Jesus Christ in heaven please let us go free. (Due to the show being off for the next couple of weeks, no Roulette this time... But we'll be back next week regardless.) [Music used: Intro -- Terminal Heaven's Rock by The Pillows | Outro -- Hope to Die by Orville Peck] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, & Tears]

This week, we discuss Alien: Covenant, specifically which Fassbender we want to smooch the most.  (Next week's Tokusatsu Roulette selection: Kamen Rider Zi-O, Episode 23) [Music used: Intro -- Hanging on the Telephone by Blondie | Outro -- All Night Operator by Bryan Ferry] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

This week, we bid farewell to a member of the group who we never liked, and then talk about the time Mulder found a fish-man stuck in a tube. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Black Clover, Episode 53) [Music used: Intro -- Thrills by Cake | Outro -- Headline News by Weird Al] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, and Tears]

It was only a matter of time before Tokusatsu Roulette let us down, but all things considered, it could have been much worse! It could have been something as bad as SKET Dance.  And not a lot happened in JoJo this week. Just table-setting, mostly. So you know, things get a bit off-topic. (Next week's Tokusatsu Roulette selection: Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Episode 30) [Music used: Intro -- Androgyny by Garbage | Outro -- Like a Surgeon by Weird Al] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, & Tears]

Trains are here, and a dog in a dress has the sparkle. I don't fuckin' know.  (next week's Tokusatsu Roulette selection: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Episode 38) [Music used: Intro -- Operator by Jim Croce | Outro -- Hello Operator by The White Stripes] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, and Tears]

Please do not send me emails, I know the "saved by the bell" thing I mentioned is not real. I'm just attempting to gaslight George yet again. Anyway, SKET Dance fucking sucks so I just re-rolled and we got Hunter X Hunter again. Good decision! Meanwhile, we talk about Snatcher and Star Wars and whatever the hell else. I don't know what's going on any more. We're just waiting for JoJo to end at this point. Pity us. (Next week's Tokusatsu Roulette selection: Ressha Sentai Toqger, Episode 35) [Music used: Intro -- My Name is Mud by Primus | Outro -- She Hates Me by Puddle of Mudd] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

Last week sucked, but this week we're both feeling better, and trust me... This one goes to some weird places. Possibly our most legally-actionable episode yet! Hooray! (next week's Anime Roulette selection: SKET Dance, Episode 47) [Music used: Intro -- Haushinka by Green Day | Outro -- Wndrwll by Neil Cicierega] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

I'm in an allergy haze and George has been bludgeoned by Kingdom Hearts, as we find that maybe watching 3 episodes was a mistake. We just wanted to see the Zyouhgers again.....  (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Black Clover, episode 71) [Music used: Intro - Sassafras Roots by Green Day | Outro - Some Might Say by Oasis] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, & Tears]

We're just having a whale of a time over here. (Next week's Tokusatsu Roulette selection: Kamen Rider Ghost, Episode 34 -- and an Executive Decision was made to also watch episode 24, the Zyuohger crossover) [Music used: Intro -- Scattered by Green Day | Outro -- Zyuohger theme] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, & Tears]

This week, after discussing the wild wild world of Funko Pops: We have an OVA that I thought was pretty good, but George disagreed, and then we had a Roulette where we were on the same page. Then, uh... Some other stuff happened.  This is the Goofy Funko Pop that was mentioned: https://i.imgur.com/RnpCfGF.jpg (Next week's Tokusatsu Roulette selection: Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, episode 31) [Music used: Intro -- If You Want Blood (You Got It) by AC/DC | Outro -- You Ain't Never Had A Friend Like Me from Aladdin] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

I talk about Star Track, George refuses to vamp while I look up quotes from Araki about drowning himself, and then we get back into the wide wide world of Anime Sports.  (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Reborn! episode 195) [Music used: Intro -- For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica | Outro -- That's How I Beat Shaq by Aaron Carter] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

We did it. We made it a full year without murdering each other or Hirohiko Araki. So sit back and enjoy our mega-sized anniversary episode, where we kick off Tokusatsu Roulette with a hell of a banger, and continue to reference things just obscure enough that I have to include clips of them. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Slam Dunk, episode 63) [Music: Intro -- Ride the Lightning by Metallica | Outro -- Big (Stage 3) from Parappa the Rapper 2] [Tokusatsu Roulette theme: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat, & Tears]

This week, the JoJo anime people apparently decided to just lay all their cards on the table. They didn't know when to hold them OR know when to fold them.  Anyway, a pink-haired guy talks into a frog. It's a good time. (Next week's Roulette selection: Kaitou Sentai Lupin Ranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger, episode 25) [Music used: Intro -- Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol | Outro -- No Phone by Cake] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

This week contains more readings from Nick Smith's modern classic The Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters, because I guess that's just a regular thing now, and we consider a very lucrative new business proposition. Also a plane crashes and there are bike-abs.  (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Street Fighter II V, episode 20) [Music used: Intro -- Say You'll Be There by the Spice Girls | Outro -- Bicycle Race by Queen] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

This week, we deal with a fairly uneventful episode by discussing Jokers, Smokers, and Midnight Tokers. We also get back to rediscovering the magic of Ulillillia's modern classic, "The Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters". Plus, wrestling! (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Yowamushi Pedal! episode 24) [Music used: Intro -- Juicy by Notorious B.I.G. | Outro -- Foreign Object by The Mountain Goats] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

As mentioned in the intro, if you don't want to hear me rant about Sekiro (and recent Souls games in general), that ends at around 21:40. Do not email me about how you like the game and I am wrong, because I Do Not Give A Shit. After that, we see Narancia redeem himself, and George finds out he underestimated the amount of baby content in Reborn!.  (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Tiger Mask W, episode 20) [Music used: Intro -- Guns of Brixton by The Clash | Outro -- Take Me to the River (live Stop Making Sense version) by Talking Heads] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

After about 20 minutes talking about the Stadia and DMC5, we get to a couple of kinda sucky episodes. At least the gayness is becoming more and more overt. That's the one good thing here. There's also a lot of Metal Gear talk in here. I know some people are into that. Side note: audio levels are a bit different here, my bars lied to me about our relative volumes. It'll be fixed next week, sorry for my loudness. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Reborn! episode 184) [Music used: Intro -- Moon Rocks by Talking Heads | Outro -- Police on my Back by The Clash]

We head back to the warm, familiar embrace of Diamond is Unbreakable, as we watch the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, or whatever you want to call it, there are like 8 names for it. It sucks anyway, so whatever. Thankfully, this week is saved by an episode of the Saturday morning Street Fighter cartoon where Blanka creates peace in the Middle East. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Majin Bone, episode 47) [Music used: Intro -- Guile's Theme from Street Fighter 2. Also contains clips from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and George Carlin's special Complaints and Grievances] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

I'm sick and George is drunk, as we learn more about how King Crimson works. Meanwhile, we talk about Devil May Cry, Zombie Bucciarati, and the newest attempt at making a watchable Ghostbusters movie. Then, Toriko happens. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Street Fighter 2: The Animated Series, Episode 19. N-n-n-nineteen.) [Music used: Intro -- Starless by King Crimson | Outro -- clip from Da Shatner Funk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLpLU7D7MWk ] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

We all feel the absence of Mr. Jimmy as it's back to just the regular two chucklefucks. Doesn't help that this episode is mostly a snooze, so instead we discuss the Mountain Dew Wiki some more. Thankfully, Bread Anime was here to save the day. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Toriko, episode 144) [Music used: Intro -- 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson  |   Outro -- clip from A Mighty Wind] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

They said it would never happen. They claimed I could never manage to wrangle some rube into an online chat with us to talk about stupid animes.  They were wrong.  (Follow Mr. Jimmy on Mastodon at @MrJimmy@mastodon.xyz) (Anime Roulette's selection for next week: Yakitake!! Japan, Episode 37) [Music used: Intro -- Birthday by The Beatles | Outro -- While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

After about 10 minutes discussing Star Track and whatever the hell Space Cases was, we get down to bizness: Groucho and his ice-powers. Abolish ice.  Then, we experience a magical story about a large man who wanders into a town and punches another guy (who loves to take baths) until he explodes. You know, anime. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Fist of the North Star, episode 141! Yeah, again!) [Music used: Intro -- Why Don't We Do It In The Road by The Beatles | Outro -- End Theme of The Dukes of Hazzard] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

Look, when you spin the wheel, sometimes you lose. Such is the nature of lady luck, although to be honest I place most of this blame on the person who recommended LotGH. You know who you are. Oh, and prepare for more Kingdom Hearts garbage. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Fist of the North Star, Episode 83! Hell yeah!) [Music/audio used: Intro - Every Time I Close My Eyes by Babyface | Outro - Clip of "The Uninformed!" from Laboring Under Delusions by Paul F Tompkins] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

Pesci becomes a stone-cold killa before our very eyes in "Grateful Dead, Part 2", but I'm gonna be honest with y'all -- I was kinda bored talking about this episode because I was just eager to get to the Real Shit: Hunter x Hunter. Anime Roulette got us a winner this time. Also, James Woods, if you're reading this, do NOT listen until the end. And if you do, don't sue us. (Next week's Anime Roulette selection: Legend of the Galactic Heroes episode 94) [Music used: Intro -- Truckin' by The Grateful Dead | Outro -- Til I Die by The Beach Boys] [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

The Anime Roulette bears its first fruit this week, as, after recapping Guido shooting himself a whole bunch, we get to see how the boys of Shohoku are going to handle the "blue wave" of Ryonan.   (Anime Roulette selection for next week: Hunter x Hunter, Episode 100)   [Music used: Intro -- Sugar Magnolia by the Grateful Dead | Outro -- Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys]   [Anime Roulette theme: Roulette! by Electric Six]

Well, this is it: the last multi-episode week. We're caught up! So, with that nightmare ended, a new one is just beginning...   (This week's Anime Roulette selection: Slam Dunk episode 79)   [Music used: Intro -- Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson | Outro -- Coco Jamboo by Mr. President]

We're back with a banger, as Narancia finds himself face-to-ankles with Cheese, and we turn ourselves in to the cops for viewing a 15 year old's asscrack. Also George forgot what episodes to watch.   [Music used: Intro -- Dixie Chicken (Live) by Little Feat  |  Outro -- Little Danson Man from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!]

I was a bit tired for this one, but hey, we got through it. In these episodes, our special boy Guido Mista gets to show us what he can do, and we learn all cops are indeed bastards. [Music used: Intro -- Hazard Profile Part One by Soft Machine | Outro -- Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols]

Here we are! Part 5, this is it... We won't have to do this too much longer... Right? This week involves banana guns, the JoJo Wiki suddenly becoming TOO detailed, and a discussion on the Peter Bogdanovich film The Last Picture Show. Skip to like 7 minutes in if you don't care about that... But if you don't, why are you still listening to this?   [Music used: Intro -- Gold by Prince | Outro -- Paranoid by Black Sabbath]

It's here, the end of Part Four: Diamond Is Unbreakable! So, of course, we discuss Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and wonder how Norm Scott, creator of Hsu and Chan, is doing. (He's alright, it turns out -- he's updating his Patreon regularly)  George also talks about some movies he might be completely imagining, even though his recording equipment crapped out and things are a bit spotty this episode as a result. Sorry about that! We'll be back next week with the first four episodes of Part 5. I can't waaaaiiiiit!   [Music used: Intro -- Another One Bites the Dust by Queen | Outro -- I Want You by Savage Garden]

We lost an American icon this week, so after paying our respects, we talk about Jessica Rabbit's tits.   [Music used: Intro -- Hello There (Live from At Budokan) by Cheap Trick  |  Outro -- Principle of Lust by Enigma]

We're back from a Thanksgiving break, with this episode coming into your ear-holes with BLAZING speed, considering I am uploading this abouuut 20 minutes after we finished recording. This one is chock-full of nonsense, by the way.    [Music used: Intro -- Rock This Town by The Stray Cats | Outro -- Superfly by Curtis Mayfield]

This week's episode is full of things that are ill-advised at best and most likely deeply offensive. So, you know, par for the course. Also, speaking of offensive: Janken Boy.   [Music Used: Intro -- September by Earth, Wind, and Fire | Outro -- Highway Star by Deep Purple]

This week, as the JoJo Crew encounters Sheer Heart Attack, we discuss Leprechaun In Space and The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell.   [Music used: Intro -- Sheer Heart Attack by Queen | Outro -- Atom Heart Mother Suite by Pink Floyd]

This week, where we finally get into the main plot of this season, 20 episodes in, an early morning recording results in some weirdness. I eventually woke up, but until then, enjoy George's tales of the Leprechaun film series, as well as his pitch for the soft-reboot, The Leprechaun. This episode also contains news about the future of this podcast, since we're coming up on Part 5 in a few weeks.   [Music used: Intro -- Killer Queen by Queen | Outro -- You Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone by Cinderella]

This week we are both tired because we had to deal with the disgusting little gnome Shigechi. We don't want to talk about it, but we have to. It's part of the job.  [Music used: Intro -- Round and Round by Ratt | Outro -- Heart of Gold by Neil Young (from the album Harvest)] [also contains clips from "Fesh Pince of Blair"]

This week, we meet Kishibe Rohan, celebrate Mean Girls Day, and George recalls the time he inspired a Tonetta song.   [Music used: Intro -- Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan | Outro -- Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bryan Ferry] U2 can eat the hairiest part of my ass

This week, where we watch the best episode in the series, the main topic is how Youtube Used To Be Cool.   [Music used: Intro -- Still Alive by Pearl Jam | Outro -- Bedrock Anthem by Weird Al]

This week is (almost) all about Koichi, everyone's favorite tiny special boy. Watch as he deals with a master of extortion AND gets tangled up in Love! [Music used: Intro -- Bulletproof Soul by Sade | Outro -- The First Time by Surface]

In which we meet resident dumbass and good boy Okuyasu, and learn a bit about the newest retcon device!   [Music used: Intro -- Feel Like Making Love by Bad Company | Outro -- Helpless by The Band]

Happy birthday, Beyonce.   [Music used: Intro - Who Will Stop The Rain by Asia (from the album Aqua) | Outro - Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd]

Another shorty between seasons as we discuss what we liked or didn't like about Part 3: Stardust Crusaders. We'll be back next week with Season 3/Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable! [Music used: Intro -- Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath (with Dio!) | Outro -- You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oates (RIP Hol Horse)]

Okay, well, George is continuing to give medical advice about shit, so I'm just gonna Road Roller the fuck on outta here.   [Music used: Intro -- Stand Up and Shout by Dio | Outro -- The Man On The Silver Mountain by Rainbow (with Dio, duh)]

After a week off due to George having a Medical Emergency, we're back with two-and-a-half episodes, because of the crazy way they produced these things! "I'm tired of doing Wario." - Larry Davis   [Music used: Intro -- Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice | Outro: Hey, How Ya Doing by Kenny G]

NOTE: We call an audible due to the weird way these episodes are split up, and also discuss the first half of Episode 42, which is the actual end of the D'Arby stuff. No idea why that wasn't just called D'Arby part three, but whatever. Oh, and we talk about RoboCop 3. George also gets to read some Tsuda notes, and finds out he doesn't want to be inside Tsuda's head. [Music used: Intro -- West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys | Outro -- Big Blue from F-Zero OST]
