New sounds and old sounds collide in Media Made's 2004 Music show!

Next, they examine a 70's style throwback album by one of the strangest musicians ever to walk this earth, Population Override by Buckethead (featuring Travis Dickerson).

Media Made is back to finish off 2003! Rod was watching a lot of TV that year, and Jess was watching very little. So what did they come up with for this television episode? Well, they kick things off with Cartoon Network's critically acclaimed "micro-series" Star Wars: Clone Wars. Then, they look back at Showtime's stab at the big-time, the quirky dramedy Dead Like Me.

Media Made's April Fools Day tradition continues with our first foray into video games!
Going all the way back to the year 1980, Rod & Jess examine two landmark video game titles and determine which one most deserves your quarters. First, they throw to Nintendo's earliest venture into handheld gaming, the Game & Watch, and that system's first game Ball. Then, they bite into one of arcade gaming's biggest success stories, Namco's Pac-Man, and the media empire that followed. History, technology, and 80's cringe await you in this very special episode!
