Episode 12: Obligatory Hugh Jackman Nude Scene

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Tue, 3 Jun 2014 23:20:00 -0700

Jack be back! Well not really, but the Media Moguls are back with a review of X-Men: Days of Future Past! Did we like it? One could say that our enjoyment is directly related to the amount of screentime Jennifer Lawrence got, but hey. Oh, and we also talk about Nintendo, E3, Brad Pitt, and try to stop our killer dogs from fighting.

Episode 12: Of Creeps and Crap

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 22:14:00 -0700

Like a roach in the midst of nuclear warfare (or something much cooler than that), you just can't kill the Media Moguls! After a multi-month hiatus, Rich and Dallas return to catch up on various goings-on and fight their way through another horde of poorly written, ill-conceived creepypastas. All this plus a world-shattering announcement regarding Monterrey Jack himself that you've got to hear to believe!

Episode 11: Let Me Tell You 'Bout Mah Beeeeest Friend!

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Mon, 9 Dec 2013 13:07:00 -0800

After years of buildup and hype, we've finally gotten all of the Media Moguls back together for one last hurrah! In this episode, The Intern and Abe finally square off for an intense game of Jeopardy (or as Dallas calls it, "It's Jeopardy Time, BRO"), and hilarity ensues. We also learn that Dallas makes up the rules as he goes. This will likely be the last episode for a long while and probably the last with all of the Moguls, so we hope you've enjoyed listening to us rant about various things!

Songs of the day: "No One's Gonna Love You" by Band Of Horses and "The Weight" by The Band.

Episode 10: Warning: This Podcast Is Haunted!

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:38:00 -0700

Live from "on swap meet" (you'll understand later), it's our first episode in almost ten months! What have we been up to? Oh, it doesn't matter because today we're reading CREEPY PASTAS!! Prepare for your brain cells to be obliterated as we tear through the most haunted of video game horror stories and fail to maintain a serious composure while doing so. Bear with us and the somewhat choppy editing on this episode. We were tweaking the format a bit, but things will be back to normal next time. Credit to creepypasta.wikia.com for all the GREAT pieces of literature, as well as the fantastic musicians featured throughout this episode. See if you can figure out which track was composed by Dallas himself!

Episode 9: Wild Spheal Appeared!

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:02:00 -0800

Well the end of the world came and went, and apparently we're still here, so here's a new episode of the podcast! Here to discuss the end of the world with us is our good friend Aaron, aka "The Almighty Spheal". We also look back at the year that was 2012 and discuss how Kleeborg The Emperor ex-communicated Tom Cruise from the Church Of Scientology. Oh, and apparently Monterrey Jack has a wife as well. Rich knows something we don't. Merry Christmas!

Episode 8: There's Something Wrong With That Boy, I Tell You Hu-What

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:47:00 -0700

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes (of American flags, OH clever Wilco reference), the Media Moguls have returned with episode 8. Long episode with lots of words this time around, but a three month absence will do that to you. In this episode, the Moguls discuss what they did during their hiatus, current (sort of) events, and the virus known as Major League Gaming. Other topics brought up at one point or another: Hulk Hogan's sex tape, butt-chugging, and how Pokemon promotes animal cruelty.

Err mah gerd guys, The Dark Knight Rises is out! In this episode, the guys discuss the last installment in Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy and look back on Nolan's other masterful Batman films. We also talk about a little-remembered Kung Fu movie called "The Crippled Masters" and ponder the idea of an "Anti-Avengers" movie. And that's it. New terms coined in this episode: "The bat-cup" and "neck-snappery".

Episode 6: Cue Tobey's Crying

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:00:00 -0700

The Media Moguls are back for some Spiderman-themed goodness! In this episode, Dal Taco and The Sasquidge go straight for the kill, giving a totally formal and professional review of The Amazing Spidermanas well as giving an even more formal and professional eulogy for the original Spiderman movies, or "The Tobey Trilogy". Some really random crap happens along the way. We also recorded this episode differently than previous episodes, but we think things turned out well for the most part. Credit goes to the Intern for providing the "cover art" for this episode. Song of the day: "Make A Face Like You Mean It (Vampires)" by House Of Heroes.

Everything is better at night! Abe rejoins the podcast and we get to hear about Dallas's harrowing rescue mission in the land of Turkey! Not only that, but the guys discuss the rage-inducing antics of the Metal Slug games, associate each other with various meats (it's as manly as it sounds), create super hero identities, and try their hardest not to sound sleepy. Abe also responds to the Intern's Jeopardy challenge! Song of the day: "Mr. Sandman" by Pomplamoose.

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:33:00 -0700

Despite the best attempts on the part of resident therapist Dal Taco, we barely scratch the surface of Rich’s hatred for Leonardo DiCaprio. We also talk about the Wii U, Capcom’s continued disgraceful disappointment of doom, answer more fanmail, and discuss Abe’s mysterious disappearance. Song of the day is “The Ladies In Town All Know My Name” by Strong Bad. Send us your own emails at our new address: monterreyjackcast@gmail.com.

The Leonardo bashing continues on this beautiful second episode! He’ll get “no sympy” from us as we answer even more fanmail this time around, ponder the mysteries of modern technology (and its correlation to the amount of time people spend playing Farmville), talk about some of our favorite video games, and get a visit from our intern!
Song of the day: “Your Cheatin’ Heart”, originally by Hank Williams Sr., covered by Jon Foreman, covered by Abe on vocals and Dallas on guitar. Just something we threw together in Garageband in about ten minutes.

Episode 1: Let The Sexiness Commence!

noreply@blogger.com (Monterrey Jack & The Media Moguls) — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:31:00 -0700

On this fantastic first episode, the guys discuss box office sensation The Avengers, as well as the upcoming Batman and Spiderman movies. We also dig through our endless collection of fanmail and reflect on the comedy masterpiece that is Spiderman 3. Also, Rich hates Leonardo DiCaprio. Don’t mind the slight bumping noise after the break…it was just the ghost of Tobey Maguire’s career.
Song Of The Day: “Come All You Weary” by Thrice.
