We talk about all of the things this week! Our “Previously On…” segment is a clip from the original THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS. We begin with some follow-up on the NHL Playoffs and why Joe says the comparison between Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin should be put to rest. Ovechkin then gets compared to Carmelo Anthony and the guys talk about how important a championship is to a Hall of Fame resume. They talk about the semi-recent fad of star players bouncing around on teams near the end of their careers to chase a ring. Dan Marino versus Drew Brees: who you got? Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush buy the Marlins. We update you on Jimmer Fredette and Stephon Marbury’s Chinese Adventures. Would you like to be the MVP of China? Joe wants to be the White Mamba. Jimmer Fredette vs. Eric Thames: who you got? Is Ichiro the real hit king? How do we fix baseball? Gomez is a stupid liar. We watch and discuss the greatness of PURPLE RAIN and remember the genius of Prince. Do Morris Day and Jerome steal the show? Apollonia vs. Samantha Fox: who you got? Prince’s dad wants to talk to Samson. Prince makes Batman sound sexy. Should Taylor Swift do the soundtrack for BLACK PANTHER? Prom night dumpsters. NKOTB vs. The Time: who you got? Don’t send us angry nudes. Prince is dead ass about being purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Prince lives the gimmick…and also at home. Prince vs. Lamar Latrell: who you got? Joe wants a brass waterbed. How did the new Netflix show 13 REASONS WHY get made? Poor Wendy and Lisa. Did The Kid spend the rest of his life in that club? How does the movie stack up on our main man standings? PURPLE RAIN vs. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER: who you got? The Big Finish: Top 3 Wrestling Managers! Joe tells some old wrestling locker room stories including when he wrestled legendary tag team: DEMOLITION! Like us on Facebook facebook.com/carjoemez!

Episode 13: “Songs From Movies”
Holy smokes! We’re up to 13 episodes already! Both of us really enjoyed this week’s show and we’re pretty sure you will too. We start by wrapping up the summer movie season, but then dive deep into some iconic songs that transcend the movie they were featured in. A lot of good, fun discussion and some personal touches. Enjoy!
The Many Notes of Mega Man 2
On this week’s episode, I talked about how much I loved the soundtrack of Mega Man 2. It’s awesome. Specifically, I mentioned how much I love the music to the “Dr. Wily: Stage 1” level. A lot of you have inquired to some of the tracks I was talking about, so what better than to put a collection of them in one place for your listening entertainment?!
First things first. Here’s the actual in-game version of the song:
Now, to follow, my favorite cover that I’ve found thus far performed by a gentleman named Songe who is a French musician and producer:
The much asked-about Mariachi cover:
Here’s an a capella cover that’s more interesting than good:
The metal version we not only need, but deserve:
A very Japanese riff-heavy version:
Finally, another one-man band version. Not as good as the other one earlier, but still fun:
So that’s a little collection of some covers of what is definitely my favorite video game song of all-time and may very well be the greatest. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.
❤ Joe
