The Jetpack Superheroes are a comedy band focusing on writing the most beautiful and HONEST love songs in the world. Usually at the expense of their own best interests. The podcast is just an extension of their unbridled honesty and views on top news stories that usually fall to the second tier of the news. Think page 3, but way more entertaining.

Hello there! Okay, I didn’t get this out _on Star Wars Day, but I did get it out by Revenge of the Sixth. So I suppose that works almost as well. This issue brings you a Jetpack Flashback, wherein Josh, Moondog, Trilobite and I sat down over Skype—yes, remember Skype?—to play the original West End Games classic, Star Wars: The Role-playing Game! Th…

We’ll get back on a consistent schedule soon, folks, I swear we will. At any rate, we’re back now, with our next session of Troubleshooters, wherein the plot begins to thicken. I’d say ore, but truthfully, the more time I spend writing this, the longer it’ll be before you can actually listen to this issue—so enough from me! Download… …and enjoy!…

Hey, gang! Don’t ever think we’ve pod-faded. We just zipped out for a quick byte to eat or something. In this case, I just got overwhelmed by life. Okay, the truth is, I got a brand-spanking-new Sonos home-theater setup, and I’ve been spending more time than I should have watching movies in glorious sound and picture (Okay, for me it’s just sound, …

It’s been twelve years in the making, and here it finally is! MONKEYS TOOK MY JETPACK #100!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I realize that I made the podcast with surprise in mind, and that these show notes will pretty much mess that whole idea up. Still, I think promoting of these people’s work far outweighs in importance the few seconds of “Oh! Wow!” you’d get…

Howdy, y’all. We’re back again, and we’re back with Everywhen, that game of fast-paced, pulpy goodness. Enjoy this, the first part of a two-part story. I envisioned it as having much more physical action than it did, but there’s some great character intraction here, so less action does not equal boring! Even though I neglected to mention this in th…

Hi, gang! Here we are, with the conclusion of our Stranger Stuff Christmas in July adventure! Hope you’re having a great Christmas in July, should you choose to celebrate it—and if you don’t, thank you so much for indulging MTMJ’s acknowledgment of what can probably best be described as a quasi-holiday. And the “quasi” aspect is why I haven’t gone …

merry christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In july. I’d completely spaced on Christmas in July till I was getting ready to post last week’s issue. Luckily, I had a Christmas adventure from last December that was only sorta Christmas-themed, which makes it perfect for the weirdly-timed Christmas-in-July. In this issue, to coincide with Christmas in July, along …

Well, here’s yet another example of better late than never. I am putting it out now rather than just waiting till next Monday beause, as I discuss in my closing remarks, I’ll be on vacation for a week or so, and in that time there’ll be no new MTMJ. In this issue, we’re takin’ Wild West Cinema from Spectrum Games for a spin. Turns out, we really co…

Howdy, Partners! In keeping’ with our Old West theme we started last issue, we’re jumping’ the time-stream all the way back to March 18, 2013, where we had a lotta palaver, and somewhere in all that managed to dredge up a few characters for Wild West Cinema, an extremely under-valued title from Spectrum Games. So set back, throw s’more wood on that…

Hi, gang! Here we are, with our final (For now!) session of Space Aces, that zealously zany RPG of sci-fi shenanigans from T-Rex Games! Sorry this one’s a little late, but I think you’ll find it was worth the wait. So because it’s past this astronaut’s hypersleep-time, I won’t make you wait any longer.

Good lord, what happened? Well, I know what happened. The short version is that our Blue Rose campaign got cut of at the knees when Real Life swept our beloved Trilobite up in its irritating current, and we were left adrift. Then there was this little pandemic thing, and … well, Real Life kind of swept me along in its malevolent current as well. Bu…
