GI Joburg Episode 118: Vehicle Seating Assignments May 22, 2018

Show notes

Ever since we owned our first vehicle an eternal question has plagued us: who sits where? How do you decide? Cartoon or comic book appearances? Filecard info? Personal preference? Colour scheme?!?

The Joburg boys are joined by JD Onesi of General Geekery Podcast, one of the most well-versed GI Joe geeks out there, to decide on the best personel for some of their favourite vehicles. We also start getting hyped about JoeCon and the recent release of our final Atlantis Factor episode. And if you donate $5 or more to our Go Fund Me before the end of Sunday the 27th of May 2018, you get to decide who features in our next web series!

GI Joburg Episode 111: Black Panther Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

So Black Panther is a thing... the boys have one or two opinions on it they would like to share. But we've also got some exciting news to discuss with regards to the Joe Fund Me campaign, and also a discussion of the most recent YouTube adventure: Atlantis Factor Part 2 Featuring the Moray! So even if you feel like the movie hype is a little played out, there are a few other reasons to give this episode a spin. Not least of which because you love us, and we looove you!

GI Joburg Episode 110: Conventions Feb 28, 2018

Show notes

Here's a real mixed bag of an episode, with an overarching theme of "Conventions"... Cujo is bursting with tales to tell of his time at the Long Beach Comic Expo where he had, amongst other things, a run-in with Aubrey Sitterson! What went down? Only one way to find out! Also, Rob tables a discussion of cute vinyl Joes and Cobra's with creepy green eyes; Steve considers supporting HasLab in their attempts to crowdfund Jabba's Sail Barge (if for no other reason than to make Boba Fett die like a bitch); there is talk of the Python Patrol versus Slaughter's Marauders Convention set... and finally: are there any truly seaworthy boats in the A Real American Hero toyline? GI Joburg playtest a few firm favourites while shooting a YouTube video and the results may shock and amaze!

And after all that madness, if you still love us and want to see us at JoeCon this year, check out our Joe Fund Me on GoFundMe! We're gonna make it! This is awesome!!!
