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.

Roberto (James) vs. Slurms McKenzie (Dan) vs. Hedonism Bot (Andy) vs. Bender (Dirk) at the Slurm Factory on Planet Wormulon.

Season 2 of Battlecast is over... Comic-Con is over... equally miserable facts of life... BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The second penta-annual Futurama Space-TWO-cuLRRR is here with all four of us sclum-bags battling for our right to remind everyone about having won for a few weeks. Dust off your brain-slug and fasten your Finglongers, it's gonna be a wild ride.

Warning: Is Dave "the one"?

Enjoy.

We're not going to lie and say that this is a good episode. We will, however, lie and say that it's a decent episode.

Dan, Andy, and Dave tool around Comic Con forcing cosplayers to fight each other. Also a guy playing drums on a streetlight gave Dan a few shots of the Fireball in his pants. Also we saw Donal Logue. Also Andy can't speak English.

Thanks to Jeff Rector, San Diego's Zombee, and The Pod Brother for chatting with us.

Warning: We know this episode is meandering and unlistenable... but you never know when a certain Futurama Space-TWO-cuLRRR may come out. This week. Ok, you do know.

4 (Andy) vs. 3 (Dan) vs. 2 (James)

You know the rules, people. Each of our winning characters from throughout Season 2 are back as our respective champions. Who shall reign victorious and inherit that mostly shitty Katana that Andy bought last season as a trophy for himself? Probably not James.

Warning: Space AIDS. You know, Space Age AIDS.

Record after last episode... James 2-4, Andy 4-2, Dan 3-3.

Enjoy.

Pam (Andy) vs. Ganondorf (Dan) in Hell.

As if listening to us jackasses wasn't hell enough already, this week's battle takes place in aaaactual Hell as represented by classic Italian poet, Dante. Archer's H.R. Lady and all around debaucherous badass, Pam Poovey, drags Hyrule's Lord of the Dark Arts, Ganondorf, through the nine rings of hell in this week's episode.

Warning: Open couch-surfing offer at Andy's house. Inquire within.

Record after last episode... James 2-4, Andy 4-1, Dan 2-3.

Enjoy.

Derek Jeter (Woods) vs. Commander Shepard (James) in Las Vegas.

You know him from Cantore + Woods and as morning DJ of San Diego's FM 94/9, Steven Woods joins the Battlecast boys for an extra specialiciuos episode. One of greatest baseballers of all time, Derek Jeter, faces the fury that is Mass Effect's proven protagonist, Commander Shepard. 

Warning: Cocaine and Bitches and free iPads

Record after last episode... James 1-4, Andy 4-0, Dan 2-3.

Enjoy.

Beetlejuice (Dan) vs. Steve-O (James) at World Cup 2014.

Two of the gnarliest and often yuckiest men in show-business, Jack-Ass's Steve-O and Beetlejuice, "match up" in Brazil at World Cup Stadium (you know, the main one or something). Be prepared for things going in butts, butts going on things, and other configurations of butts and things. 

Warning: Gooooooooooooool!

Record after last episode... James 1-3, Andy 4-0, Dan 1-3.

Enjoy.

Gambit (Dan) vs. Scott Pilgrim (Andy) at Pride Parade.

In honor of James's latent homophobia, we find ourselves facing off at the Gay Pride Parade on this week's installment of Battlecast. Gambit of the X-Men calls Scott Pilgrim's hand in a game of good old American Russian Roulette. Will it roll Snake Eyes? Jackpot.

Warning: Anachronistic Pepsi references.

Record after last episode... James 1-3, Andy 3-0, Dan 1-2.

Enjoy.

Ender (Andy) vs. Akuma (James) at the house from Home Alone.

This week we bring you a very special Father's Day episode featuring heart-warming stories about dads fighting children and girls. Also we battle. Defender(?) of Earth, Ender Wiggin weighs up against demonic martial artist Akuma from Street Fighter.

Warning: Dr. Mario Spaghetti.

Record after last episode... James 1-2, Andy 2-0, Dan 1-2.

Enjoy.

Tommy D (Jimmy Callaway) vs. Hunter S. Thompson (Dan) in Dunder Mifflin from The Office.

James got too Hollywood for us and left so we had fellow podcaster, comedian and comic-book store employee extroadinaire, Jimmy Callaway, swoop his spot. Tommy D as played by Joe Pesci played by Jimmy Callaway butts heads with Hunter S. Thompson as played by Johnny Depp played by Dan in the Dunder Mifflin building.

Warning: Sugar Ray references.

Record after last episode... James 0-2, Andy 2-0, Dan 1-1.

Enjoy.
