Podcasting Day: Hardcase with Lydia Bugg 🌭

It’s Podcasting Day! And this week on the Dogg Zzone 9000, we are joined by our own Lydia Bugg to discuss something you should never find further information on: Malibu Comics. We all read Hardcase. It’s the story of a reluctant superhero, but not reluctant because of morals or ethics. He’s just a coward who doesn’t know how to fight and also has a busy schedule getting bullied as a wealthy movie star. You’ll hate him! Listen here, or wherever you get podca–

Hardcase had super strength, invulnerability, and no regard to where his wild jumps might take him. He fucking sucks! And Sean found the blog (o-rama) of Hardcase’s writer, an unpleasant man who died ranting about Taylor Hicks and White Replacement. Malibu Comics was not the first publishing company made up entirely of sex criminals, fraudsters, and racists, but it will always be the most ’90s. So the next time someone says you’re toast, tell them forget that noise– you’re the one making breakfast.

Podcasting Day: WMAC Masters Ladies’ Night with Merritt K 🌭

Once, in days long past, Seanbaby and Brockway along with their guest, horror author and mega-skeeter Merritt K, made a vow: To discuss three 20 minute episodes of WMAC Masters, the ‘90s martial arts TV show that was like Kidz Bop Mortal Kombat. They thought it would take them an hour, total. Now centuries have passed, empires have grown and crumbled, gods have been felled, and our adventure at last comes to a close. Love, loss, yin, victory, tragedy, yang, rollerskates, ninjas – the epic conclusion is finally upon us. We are discussing WMAC Masters Season 2, Episode 3: Ladies’ Night. Listen to the end of all things here… or wherever you get podcasts.

But first, the feel good club hit of the summer:

Podcasting Day: Threatin with Rodney Anonymous 🌭

This week on the Dogg Zzone 9000, we welcome the great Rodney Anonymous from The Dead Milkmen for a spectacular musical detective game we can only play this one time. Listen here! Or wherever you get podcasts!

It’s one of Seanbaby’s games, so it barely makes sense and requires a bit of explanation. To start, this is Threatin:

Threatin is a boy who faked a metal career with no foresight or guile. He made up lies like an ancient baby inventing the concept of deception. “I am a real musician,” he would post on Facebook. “You are my favorite real musician, I’m a beautiful woman,” he would then post on Facebook. “Me too, I’m a totally different one,” he would add, for several hours every day. Which leads us to our game:

Rodney Linderman, with his decades of music industry experience, and Robert Brockway, with his trapped raccoon-like cunning, will hear all these embarrassing details and try to match or out-lie Threatin at every stage of his phony career. Are they better liars than the worst dummy to ever try it? Or are we simply a part of the illusion? Gasp, What Even Is Truth?

On the bonus podcast, Patrons (please be one of those) can listen to Rodney and Brockway play a second, more tender game, where they compete to be The Kissmaster. It’s one of Seanbaby’s games, so the rules are erotic and the stakes are confusing. To put it another way, What is Kiss Master? We turned a terrible book about kissing into an international best friends kissing party. If you are reading this, you are now the kiss master.

Hey, speaking of grifters and beastly eroticism, there’s a new episode of BIGFEETS out this week! The podcast where Robert Brockway, Seanbaby, and Jason Pargin watch every single episode of Mountain Monsters, a show about hillbillies hunting cryptids and getting bested by them at every turn.

Podcasting Day: WMAC Masters – The Joke’s On You, with Merritt K! 🌭

We’re joined once again by author, champion skeet-shooter, and new Patreonist Merritt K to talk about the best idea anybody’s ever had: WMAC Masters. A 1990s live-action martial arts tournament series set in Universal Studios Florida, starring eclectic fighters who may not be able to escape Universal Studios Florida. Every fight saw them fueling up on the life force of ninjas to do battle inside the actual rides of Universal Studios Florida, and between matches they were all best friends who lived together in a clubhouse on the grounds of Universal Studios Florida. Maybe they were born there? It’s possible that in this universe, no world exists beyond the borders of Universal Studios Florida. Because this was the 1990s, our mighty full-grown adult warriors had to learn life lessons in between spinkicking cyborgs, and this week we’re talking about the most important lesson of all: Don’t do pranks.

It’s season one, episode eight of WMAC Masters: The Joke’s On You!

Yes, this is a show about shirtless ethnic stereotype half-monster karate maniacs putting on morality plays for toddlers in between hurling ninjas into lava pools and yes, the toys do reflect that. Press their Ki Symbols and each one really talks!

Podcasting Day: 1980s Cartoon PSAs with Zak Koonce 🌭

It sure is a lot of fun to be silly. But in the last 137 episodes of The Dogg Zzone 9000, you saw the dangers of talking to strangers about madness. So when you’re discussing something as truly insane as ’80s cartoon PSAs, it’s important to have a buddy… someone you can trust, like Zak Koonce from the Auralnauts. Listen here or wherever you get podcasts, and if he betrays you, tell a teacher or a fireman! Patrons can listen to an extended cut if they support the site and wear a life ja–

Podcasting Day: WMAC Masters – A Man Can Dream with Merritt K 🌭

We’re talking with writer, game journalist, avid skeeter, and hot doggist Merritt K about 1995’s WMAC Masters, the live-action choreographed karate tournament television show for kids, possibly by kids. If children did not write this it was somebody de-aged by head injury, or possibly a reverse Big situation.

WMAC Masters takes place in a land of disposable ninjas, poser cyborgs, and martial arts magic. A world of irradiated wastelands and crushing pressure pits. Some call it… Universal Studios Florida. They stocked a theme park with gullible karate idiots and convinced them the outside world died, so they have to live their whole lives on this lot. Here, they fight. They win, they lose, they chat, they prank, they hang, they learn little life lessons, they have their hearts broken, they… fall in love?

This time it’s WMAC Masters Season One, Episode 5: A Man… Can Dream.
