Oh my god, Billy, your wish is our command. - Extra Note: Alex, your email was read but a technical glitch in the recording means we'll have to wait until next week's episode to reply to it!

ExplicitJump Kick Punch! 2/08/2011: It’s Z-Time!! | Do you feel that? The winds have shifted. Animals howl and the ocean boils. Life itself grinds to a sudden halt as the universe cracks open and a new power, crackling with the mysterious energies of a thousand worlds, emerges. The normal rules of time and space do not apply. Everything you know has changed. It's Z-Time. On this week's incredibly special episode, Zack shows mankind the true meaning of love and makes every fan's dreams come true, probably, maybe, by assuming near-total control of the podcast. Brandon, Josh, and Tom are all along for the ride as the Big Zed guides them through the conversational wilderness of distant grade school memories, an impressive series of "versus" scenarios, listener emails, voicemails, and the invention of "pre-fun fun."

I think? And also he hates Metropolis and Lucy Liu? But loves Csmeron Diaz? 0:17:06 - Zack's attempt to answer Nik's introductory email results in the worst/best/worst game ever: Ruin Each Other's Favorite Things. 0:39:16 - If it pleases the Zack: Listener Emails!

This displeases Zack greatly. 1:06:42 - The first set of Versus! for 2011, now featuring its own well-deserved jingle! This week's battle scenarios come from Ben & Tyler. 1:33:58 - Brandon suggests checking out Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. This also displeases Zack! 1:42:07 - Listener Voicemails! A mystery caller leave the group a special order. 1:43:30 - Dana calls in with a suggestion for Tom! Sort of. 1:46:41 - And now, a somewhat disturbing conversation about Zack's computer. 1:51:20 - Hooray, the first half is over! Wait, what? Uh.. alright, well, I guess everyone just talks about shows they want to recommend and welcome any potential offers of corporate sponsorship. 2:02:13 - Zack bids this week a fond farewell with a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand outro. | 2/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Show highlights: 0:01:40 - Sony has officially (and finally) unveiled the PSP2, which is apparently not named the PSP2 and is codenamed the NGP? How lame is that? Very? Question marks?

I mean, c'mon. 0:33:51 - Tom and Brandon proceed to get lost in conversation, resulting in cicadas, robots and cyborgs. Also, cyborg robots. 0:37:08 - B&T have had a bit more time with the Bulletstorm demo, and it's pretty great, actually! 0:40:23 - Suddenly, Intermission! 0:42:56 - The Bulletstorm discussion continues. Shootan. Kickan. Dick-titsan. Etc. Also, DUTY CALLS! 0:47:45 - MvC3 is ever-so-close to release, which means leaks are running rampant on the Internet. 0:50:35 - SPOILER about MvC3's final boss, despite that being inconsequential and despite every other site reporting on it and despite us having talked about it already in earlier episodes. 0:52:03 - Marvel's passing the Venom legacy on to a new character, and we SPOIL who it is! (Hint: it's not very cool or interesting. And also he looks terrible.) 0:58:00 - There may very well be a new Wonder Woman TV show coming! And it sounds mired in feminism and female empowerment, but the really bad kind? Girl power, yeahhh! 1:05:14 - Listener Emails!

ExplicitJump Kick Punch! 1/25/2011: Specifically Weird | With Atlanta fully thawed and back to full strength, Brandon, Josh, and Tom gather 'round the laptop to remember the past and anticipate the future. Our trio starts getting a good idea of where this year is headed as they discuss the 3DS's launch date and price, experience the demo for Bulletstorm and new trailer for Duke Nukem Forever, and wax nostalgic about a bygone era of geekdom. Plus, some Listener... Videos? Show highlights: 0:01:00 - Nintendo 3DS! Launch date! Pricing! VIDEO GAAAMMMMEESSSS. 0:08:07 - The deliberate confusion over the 3DS's launch titles results in cynicism for some, cautious optimism for others. Take a wild guess who's who. 0:25:49 - Hey, as long as you're here, make a mental note to watch the season premiere of Archer, Thursday (TONIGHT) at 10p E/P on FX. You want Tom to be happy and pay his rent, don't you? 0:26:46 - This recording? Two days before Sony's PSP2 event. How wrong are we ready to be? Very. 0:30:25 - The demo for Bulletstorm amazes and confuses, all at the same time! Butthole murders! Dick-t**s! What do you think, guys? 0:42:56 - The newest dick-punching, p**s-taking trailer for Duke Nukem Forever has Josh all hot and bothered, which may seem strange considering his reaction to the Bulletstorm demo. Josh, explain yourself. 1:00:00 - Intermission! 1:01:27 - Disney has brought their big, corporate axe down on Junction Point, the studio behind Epic Mickey, and cut a huge number of staff members loose. There goes that shot at a redeeming sequel, we guess. 1:11:49 - Wizard Magazine is officially dead. A geek nation mourns, mostly in the very online forums and message boards that lead to its unsurprising death. 1:18:55 - Spoiler Warning! One of the Fantastic Four is "dead" as of this week, which is mostly useful as serving a point about the death of Wizard Magazine. 1:21:33 - On a similar note, Patton Oswalt wrote a piece for Wired Magazine about the death of geek culture amidst the maelstrom of online resources and dangers of ETEWAF, "Everything That Ever Was--Available Forever" 1:28:24 - Josh makes an easy segue into they heyday of MST3K which leads, somehow, to a discussion about Sunchips. 1:39:24 - Tacos! Unsettling claims about Taco Bell's "beef" has the internet collectively skipping lunch and has the suits up in arms. 1:42:57 - Brandon predicts the eventual "final form" that modern society's geek chic will take to become the new Kings of Nerd Mountain (That Wondermark strip can be found here.) 1:47:00 - Tacos redux! (Spoiler: we will still eat your tacos, Taco Bell.) 1:50:00 - Spider-Man has him some silvery wingtips or something on the new movie suit design. Is this dumb, awesome, or inconsequential? A DEBATE ERUPTS. 1:58:47 - A leaked photo from a british toy convention gives the internet Sight Beyond Sight for a look at the new Thundercats character designs! (Eventually revealed in a much more official capacity!) 2:04:50 - Listener emails! A triple serving of video links and recommendations from Billy, Karl and Tyler-- including Tyler's "Best Of JKP" compilation, if such a thing is even possible. Amazing. - | 1/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Brandon, Josh, and Zack return alive and well from the frozen wasteland of Atlanta, GA after a week of uncharacteristic and nigh-apocalyptic winter conditions for another extra-long podcast themed mainly around pictures of actors dressed as superheroes. Also in this episode: a brief and belated CES recap, an evaluation of NBC's latest comics-inspired effort, a shameful finger-waggling at the Square end of Square-Enix and a bevy of listener emails! Show highlights: 0:02:27 - A Winter Storm utterly annihilates the southern metropolis of Atlanta! Epic tales of bravery, stupidity, and the zombie apocalypse abound. 0:24:04 - What was cool about the Consumer Electronics Show from two weeks back?

Brandon is very passionate about this, despite Josh and Zack not even giving half a s**t either way. 0:48:05 - Josh and Zack had a little sit-down the NBC's newest superhero serial, The Cape. What'd they make of it? Here's a hint: one hated it, one thinks it's alright. Guess which is which! 1:03:14 - Intermission! (followed by an update on Zack's foot!) 1:06:33 - So that mysterious cast lineup image from X-Men First Class showed up online, and boy is it wonky. And boy has Zack ever been privileged to see some other behind-the-scenes stuff, and boy is it even wonkier than you'd imagine outside of mysterious cast lineup image. Boy! 1:21:33 - Chris Evans' Cap is looking truly great, though, especially WWII-era Cap. Painted-on helmet wings! Flawless victory! 1:32:10 - And hey, the new Spider-Man movie's first production photo is also kicking equal amounts of ass! Hooray! 1:53:42 - Listener Emails! Lee asks us about Tower Prep and Symbionic Titan, two Cartoon Network shows that none of us have really seen enough of to lay down a verdict. 2:06:38 - Vicky writes in to thank us for keeping her company during her winter break, which somehow leads to the group talking about the end of the world and the hidden merits of 4chan. 2:12:27 - Tyler makes a suggestion for a second themed episode! 2:16:10 - Nik the Unpronouncable (sorry, Nik!) wants to know what we think about movie to game and game to movie adaptations. Which ones do we think have been most successful? 2:30:44 - Terry asks where the extra JKP content is. Come on, boys, where dat content at? 2:35:25 - Alex saw Part One of our New Pokemon Rundown and has an astute observation to share. Drop that discovery on us, Alex. - | 1/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

What? That's impossible, Brandon, explain yourself. 0:48:25 - Did you hear that Jon Favreau has left Iron Man 3? Did you hear that his next project will, instead, be called Magic Kingdom?

THE FUTURE IS NOW!

Settle in with a hot mug of wassail (whatever the hell that is) and join Brandon, Josh, Tom, and Zack for a three-hour adventure that has no real justification.

"Okay," says Tom. 1:12:25 - Intermission! 1:14:10 - Brandon and Tom have both beaten Comic Jumper, with varying degrees of satisfaction! 1:32:10 - I guess we'd better just skip a podcast review of Sonic 4 before Zack punches someone on his way to the emails. 1:35:21 - Listener emails!

What in the f**k? 1:40:18 - Listener emails! First comes a letter from Lee, inquiring about our thoughts on the rumored PSP Phone... 1:56:05 - Andrew writes in to ask if we have any interesting or funny stories about our bosses or coworkers!

First up is Peter... 1:32:10 - Freelance writes to pass on a brief but flattering pat-on-the-back! 1:33:03 - Tyler writes in to give us a rundown of our Top 10 episodes thus far, and asks us which two game universes we'd like to see a crossover for! 1:51:19 - Oh my god, we actually got another voicemail!?
