Battlecast presented by Meltdown Comics (battlecast)

We welcome back our favorite guest (and much needed relief from James's bullshit) Jimmy Callaway! He tries on his ajudicating hat for this episode which takes place in Ghostbusters HQ. It's Bruce Lee's trainer Ip Man (Andy) vs. Piccolo (Dan) in a martial arts showdown with ghosts and ghouls and possibly a Spirit Bomb that takes 6 weeks to occur. Also get on Netflix and watch Ip Man if you haven't. Super good.


Warning: Did Andy imply he'd use Slimer's slime as lube?

Gob Bluth (Andy) vs. Kevin Smith (James) at NPR
 
 
 
 
 
 
Holy friggin' moly, strap in for the longest, most dramatic, action packed episode of Battlecast yet. It's Arrested Development's Master Illusionist, Gob Bluth, battling multi-talented media maven, Kevin Smith, through the NPR airwaves. You'll see some familiar faces and some not so much. On top of all of this madness, rapper/comedian/writer for Epic Rap Battles of History... ZACH SHERWIN features as a guest cameo. Oh so much fun.

Warning: Yes, "stupider" is a word. And no, James doesn't know how to rules.

Who would win in a fight between the beloved cereal mascot, Lucky, and the most popular auto-based television show on the planet? Enter Battlecast....half stupid podcast and half humanitarian super-being. Oh yeah, and we make fun of Popes.

Warning: Andy would like some what?

 Wyle E. Coyote (Dan) vs. Zack Morris (James) Downton Abbey.

This week, two icons of your childhood go head to head in a castle from a show that only pretentious jerks appreciate. Kidding. Downton Abbey is probably fine. Probably. Will it be the coyote with the entire catalogue of Acme products at his clawed fingertips or the upper class high-school enigma with the inexplicable power to stop time? Who knows....? Not you obviously.

Warning: Poor Dan.

Nathan Drake (Jay Huerto) vs. Dick Butt (Andy) at Jumanji.

WELCOME TO SEASON 3 OF BATTLECAST

We roll things out this season with a special guest... the incredibly talented and dear, dear, dear friend of the show's, Jay Huerto. More importantly, yes, we are definitely filing a class-action lawsuit against Andy for the character he chose. This week, we stroll through uncharted territory with Nathan Drake and Dick Butt in the Jumanji Mansion. P.S. sorry our audio gets fucked a few times - new mixer growing-pains.

Warning: Dick butt.

Records reset to zero after last episode.

 

Enjoy.
