Deathcakes Podcast - Nojibbajabbafm.com

After making changes to its types of original programming, and facing competition from other options on cable these days like Cartoon Network and Disney, "The First Kids Network" just doesn't quite hold the same cultural importance it had in the past. This episode has Jay & illy taking a look back at the formative years and glory days of Nickelodeon. Music by DJ Tee -- djtee1.bandcamp.com / youtube.com/djteebeats, "The Influence" by Jurassic 5 & "Nickel Bags" by Digable Planets / Outro Music: "All That" by A-1 -- soundcloud.com/adamraps

As the crew returns from an extended holiday break to take on childhood favorite, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, they find themselves repeating the same question: How did so much of this material fly past the censors? HOW!? Background Music: "Pee-Wee's Dance" by Joeski Love

Don't nobody shut down our show for OUR listeners!! The thirtieth episode is a true milestone for Deathcakes Podcast, as the crew tackles a film that's sewn itself into the very fabric of the show since the beginning: 1984's "Toughest Man in the World", starring none other than the spiritual advisor himself... first name Mr, middle name DAT PERIOD, last name T!!!

In another "endcap" to their series of movie-related episodes, the guys spark more than two hours of nostalgia when they delve into popular 90s film soundtracks. Music: "Play My Funk" by Simple E / "Juice (Know The Ledge)" by Eric B. & Rakim / "Streiht Up Menace" by MC Eiht / Outro Music: "Fallin" by Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul

It's all about the 90's tunes this time around, as illy adds on to his list of favorite cartoon intros! Music: "Mekanism" by Old World Disorder [instrumental prod. by Nick Fury]

After spending the summer on cartoons and comic properties adapted into movies, Jay and illy focus on the flipside, with film properties turned into children's cartoons. Some of the choices though... dear God! Intro/Outro Music: "Games and Cartoons" by Sammus -- sammusmusic.com / Background Music by DJ Tee -- djtee1.bandcamp.com / youtube.com/djteebeats

Tying in with the Batman '89 movie episode, the guys close out this chapter with Fox's - later, Kids' WB's - groundbreaking Batman: The Animated Series.

What is Warner to do, after Superman III & IV and Supergirl have already sent comicbook superhero movies into the tank? They switch to a different DC franchise, make unlikely choices for director and lead actor, have a popular musician record the official soundtrack, and begin an insane marketing blitz to reinvigorate the genre! This all may sound familiar, but nope, it's not Dick Tracy. The gang begins to close out this episode block with none other than 1989's "Batman". Music: "Batman & Robin" by Snoop Dogg (instrumental prod. by DJ Premier) / Outro Music: "One Bad Day" by Random aka Mega-Ran -- megaranmusic.com

What happens when a director, in his heart of hearts, wants to adapt the New Gods comic into a motion picture, but gets assigned to a project with the He-Man license instead?... He forces those comfounded He-Man square pegs into round holes and makes a New Gods movie ANYWAY, god dammit! The gang rewatches the laughably ridiculous head-scratcher that was 1987's "Masters of the Universe". Music by DJ Tee -- djtee1.bandcamp.com / youtube.com/djteebeats

In the followup to Episode 25, the gang takes a look at The Dick Tracy Show from 1961. How does it compare to the live action Movie from 1990??

What happens when an accomplished Hollywood actor/producer/writer is also an über-fanboy for a decades old, almost universally forgotten comic strip and cartoon series?… He sets out to revive said franchise as a feature film in the year 1990, and blitzes the shit out of it through every consumer tie-in imaginable, of course! The gang revisits the marketing bonanza that was “Dick Tracy”. Oh, and they watched the movie, too. Music by Hannibal King -- hannibalkingmusic.com

To follow up on “Secret of the Ooze”, the guys watch and weigh in on “Turtles Forever”, the animated finale of TMNT ‘03 which collides universes with the TMNT of the 80s!

What happens after you take a white-hot, universally beloved toy and cartoon franchise and spawn a successful live action film?… Filter it through the demands of parent lobbyists and crap out a quick sequel for a quick cash grab, of course! The gang rewatches the debacle that was “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze”, in the first of several film/cartoon related blockbuster episodes.

Music videos are here to stay. But it seems that the medium - once a staple of a generation - no longer holds that same level of importance in pop culture these days. Jay and illy throw some opinions out about why and where music vids jumped the shark, and look back on what they consider to be the glory days.

One year later, they’re still goin strong. Jay and illy thank all the Deathcakes listeners, revisit past episodes, and continue to do what they do best: random banter about the high and low lights of yesterday (flowcharts, again, available upon request). Here’s to another year, and counting.

In this episode, you’ll find out why the upcoming Michael Bay movie isn’t the worst interpretation of the TMNT franchise, and learn about what could be creepiest and most fucked up children’s variety show and host. All this, in an attempt for the gang to highlight what they believe are the glory days of the Fox Broadcasting Company. Outro Music: “Black Ranger” by A-1 -- A-1music.com

Mark out with illy, as he drops a few memories and bits of knowledge over six of his favorite early 90s WWF entrance themes!

After dropping some big news about the future of Deathcakes Podcast, the 80’s babies celebrate their twentieth episode by becoming 90’s teens and revisiting their days of adolescence. Fire up that 28.8Kbps modem connection, and come back to listen once this episode file finishes transferring! Music: “The Reminisce Over You (TROY)” by Pete Rock & CL Smooth / “Grand Groove [RMX]” by Intelligent Hoodlum

Who saw it coming, and who knew it would go on to knock Sega and Nintendo consoles outta the box? Jay and illy look back on the dawn, the rise, and the amazing run of the system that spoke to the teens and twenty-somethings who had grown up with video games: the original Sony PlayStation! Intro Music: “Big Kid” by Doug Funnie -- dougfunnie.bandcamp.com

Jay is back with a quick top 5 of his favorite “real” songs that have been used in video games over the years. What is number one? Probably the most sexually graphic song your grandparents ever listened to….and they say our music is raunchy.
