The VGM Jukebox

With but a fistful of recommendations, Josh and Emily continue their search for the motherlode amid the piles of debris that now inhabit the once buzzing bar. Fortunately, they have an alternate source to fuel the podcast, which is a never-ending string of errors which can only be corrected on subsequent episodes. So, join Emily as they take a break from the excavation stage of their clean-up to chat about ending screens on summer days, the relative hardness of ringside pickups, and how to prepare AI to replace humans in sacred rituals. Special appearances by Sonic the Hedgehog, Cool Spot, Megaman, and Xipe Totec.

Josh and Emily have decided it's finally time to get serious about cleaning up the bar, so come loiter around while they smash up the boulders and hack at the weeds that have been populating all over the place for the past eight years. Along the way you'll learn some Japanese vocabulary, contemplate Bruce Springsteen's great-great-great-grandchild's final bionic form, and witness a track/description mismatch error being rectified after (checks calendar) over a decade?! After all that's done, enjoy the easy ride of a couple contrasting karaokes and maybe think about sending in some new ones of your own, because we’ll be meeting back here soon and we’ve dusted off a shelf just for you. Happy Pretzel Anniversary, patrons! We might even have proper seats next time.

Chotto matte and wait a minute, what's this? Are there really lights on inside the ol' VGMJB bar tonight? Looks like Josh and Emily are marking the 10th anniversary of The VGM Jukebox by opening the doors again! Come snag your favorite chair and get transported places as they share tunes that capture the spirit of the old days, the newer days, and the wide range of everything in between. J&E will need your patience as they relearn the biorhythms of everything from publishing episodes to flipping coins properly, and a good handful of their tracks aren't even from video games. It's going to be an unusual evening, to say the least! But if you stay a while, let us know what you've been up to these past seven years, and what tunes and memories have stayed connected to your hearts.

Just in time for the Holidays, Josh and Emily get into the spirit and decorate the bar. But what would a bar be without patrons, and this time, they are joined by The Diad and Wicked Sephiroth to help consolidate the cheer with their own track selections and memories. But, you probably have some questions, such as: How did they get here? Where is the Devil's Course? What is up with that spooky Christmas tree? Is this song speeding up? Find out the answers to all this and more on this very special VGM Jukebox reunion episode!

In the wake of last week's festivities, Emily and Josh somehow find themselves back in the Spa Zone. That's right, it's one of those super chill credit levels where you can feel free to wander around, lay on the floor with the lights out, or whatever. So join them for one last hurrah (at least before the Christmas get together) as they watch Haju get a manicure, a Mech getting a massage, damsel flies in high resolution, and as they share all those feelings that have been a part of this beautiful show that you made possible. Stay tuned for the graduation ceremony for ALL of their recommending patrons and be reminded how much you mean to them, and always will.
