CJAE 88: What’s That Smell?!

By Jack Sullivan on April 19, 2019 in Captain Jack's Armbar Emporium, Commentary, Nostalgia

By popular demand, Captain Jack (@JackHeartless), along with returning friend of the show Christopher Pelletier, sit through *another* terrible wrestling movie for your enjoyment, as they watch wrestler/actor/sentient hot dog Hulk Hogan in the infamous No Holds Barred. Bask in the hamminess of Kurt Fuller, thrill to Rip’s incomprehensible hand signals, try to decipher why Zeus was inserted into WWF storylines, and most importantly, see if you can figure out…WHAT’S THAT SMELL?!?!?!

This Week’s Episode 3: There Is No Environment In This Dojo!

By Jack Sullivan on May 16, 2018 in Commentary, Nostalgia, This Week's Episode, Uncategorized

Annnnd they’re back (and sponsored by Coor’s Banquet, to boot)! The original idea for episode 3 has been postponed, as the gang is on fire to talk about the newest addition to one of Zach’s (@realzachhiggins) favorite franchises.

That’s right, Syd (@sydneespeaks), Zach and Jack (@JackHeartless) are talking all things Cobra Kai, how it ties back to the original Karate Kid trilogy, and why it worked when so many other reboots failed.

(NOTE: Season 1 will be discussed in detail. Please watch Cobra Kai on YouTube Red before listening to this episode. It rules!!)

Opening theme by The Damned (@damnedtwits).

CJAE 59: My Favorite Feud – The Hart Foundation vs. The British Bulldogs!

By Jack Sullivan on May 4, 2018 in Captain Jack's Armbar Emporium, Nostalgia

Captain Jack (@JackHeartless) is back, and so is My Favorite Feud! This week, the mastermind behind AndrogynArt, Jesse Ledina (@AndrogynArt) stops in to talk about the Hart Foundation vs. the British Bulldogs, and how their rivalry encapsulates so much of what it meant to be a fan during the golden age of the 1980’s. From VCR’s to Saturday mornings to LJN’s to DIY belts, this episode’s a total trip in the way-back machine.

Also, we talk about how this era influenced Jesse’s art, especially his upcoming show, Nostalgia 2018: Deja Vu, at Earth-2 Comics in LA on May 11th.

As Mean Gene used to say, “Doncha dare miss it!”

CJAE 50: My Favorite Feud – Piper vs. Flair

By Jack Sullivan on February 9, 2018 in Captain Jack's Armbar Emporium, Nostalgia, WWE Network

Holy CRAP, we made it to Episode 50! To celebrate, Captain Jack (@JackHeartless) brings back My Favorite Feud with the assistance of this week’s guest, @ComicBlackBook co-owner and host of Your Mom’s Basement, Kirk McPherson (@KirkLikesStuff). Kirk chooses the sprawling, on-again-off-again rivalry between “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper as his favorite, so in true CJAE fashion, a deep dive of the timeline ensues, from their first match against one another in 1973, all the way to their last match together, as teammates, in 2006. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way, as they talk about the rise of each performer independently of the other, how the feud would re-ignite across different decades and territories, and what makes their bond inside and outside of the ring so unforgettable.

Opening theme by Lemi and the Captain.
