Farewell?

Farewell?

Hello, fellow Time Travelers. It is with a heavy heart and bloodshot eyes that we announce Justice Time Machine has come to an indefinite hiatus. Unfortunately, the scheduling has become too much of a cross to bear for ya favorite bois and we must lay our pet project to rest for the time being. The batteries have run low and it is getting dark. However, a goodbye for now can also beget a hello in the future. Thank you to all that have supported us and we hope you enjoyed Justice Time Machine as much as we did. Sincerely, JTM.

Trail of Tears

Trail of Tears

Welcome to the final episode of season 5. From all of us at Justice Time Machine, we truly appreciate all of those that have listened and shared our work here. The work itself is not much, but it's honest. Through all of the laughter there is pain, but through the pain there is also laughter. We love all of you so much and the highest of praise for our fans would be a failure of justice. Stay gold, Time Travelers. We'll be back sooner than you think.

Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson

Time Travelers Assemble! Episode 9 of Season 5 is an amuse-bouche for the final episode of this season because ya bois just barely get their beaks wet on the scum sucking slave owner that is Andrew Jackson. This cankled racist better watch his monuments before the true power of defiance drags his statues down to hell with him. Raise your fists in solidarity: our body's are temples of that which you do not own.

Tulsa Race Massacre

Tulsa Race Massacre

Welcome to another episode of the things they don't want to teach you! On this Justice Time Machine episode, ya bois travel back to 1921 where a minor social faux pas led to an abhorrent amount of turmoil in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Rodgers and Hammerstein completely left this turn of events out of their play about this Midwest state. CJ, Cody, and Marc try their darndest to not fly off the proverbial handle at every turn in this episode and subsequently prove that Oklahoma was definitely not "The Place to Be" if you were a person of color in 1921.

Harold Shipman

Harold Shipman

Welcome time travelers to the 7th installment of season 5! Get your email fingers ready because this one splits ya bois in twain. Is assisted suicide considered murder? Or is murder assisted suicide? See i told you you! Email us to let us know one of the following: Was Marc right for suggesting the proper paperwork? Was Cody right for backing the victims? We're CJ's puns on point? Email 1 for Marc, 2 for Cody, or 3 for CJ to justicetimemachine@gmail.com | Remember, none of these options will get anyone to the next round in Hollywood!

LA Riots

LA Riots

Welcome back fellow time travelers! This one comes straight from the underground so put your middle fingers up in solidarity and scream fuck 12. This is by for the most pressing topic ya 3 favorite bois have covered so let's start with a *TRIGGER WARNING* and work together from there. CJ's exercise mic is hot garbage, Cody takes us back to the not so groovy 60's, and Marc raises a single fist right up the butt of systemic racism. Good cops aren't good cops if they don't report bad cops.

Idi Amin

Idi Amin

Welcome fellow time travelers to, in the words of DJ Khaled, another one! This episode has it all. Ya bois try to work out the definition of an introduction and concurrently introduce a heavy weight asshole to the podcast!

Anders Behring Breivik

Welcome Time Travelers to the second episode of season five. Norway isn't all fjords and glaciers. This solemn country also pumped out one of the worst right wing terrorists the world has ever seen.

Y'all this onion of an episode is sure to make your eyes water. The layers alone send ya bois through a political worm hole shaped like a mobius strip  inside of an MC Escher lithograph. Look for the notification for when to put on your 3D glasses.

Ruhollah Khomeini

Folks, this one might get ya' bois in some trouble. The "complex" minds behind JTM picked one heck of a heavy topic to unleash upon you, the innocent and unsuspecting listener. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini did some straight up grisly shit. Get some nog in your gob asap as possible because this aforementioned chestnut gets thoroughly roasted. Happy holidays from all of us at Justice Time Machine!

Fritz Haber

Fritz Haber

If y'all somehow needed another reason to wear a mask, this episode on Fritz Haber should do the trick. Cody and CJ brandish their letterman jackets and straight up punk this unlovable poindexter after debate club with an atomic wedgie under the bleachers. After a textbook JTM hazing, professor Marc Jones breaks up the scuffle and grades it an A+ beat down. School's out, bitch.

Reign of Terror

Reign of Terror

Welcome to the final episode of season 3! Robespierre and his merry band of marauders take a lot more than just a little off the top in this one y'all. CJ gets balls deep in political ideology and Cody spins yarn on an impromptu suicide pact so gnarly it would make Sion Sono blush. And that's not all! Stay tuned for this seasons final installment of the artist formerly known as Marc's Correction corner where our favorite Brit wraps it all up in a body bag.

Jonestown

Jonestown

Before you drink this episode down make sure to check who is behind the bar. If it's Jim Jones, send that shit right back. Ya bois go all in on the fallen evangelical who orchestrated the Jonestown mass suicide. Don't forget to stay tuned until the very end where Marc Jones brings the chaser for this biblical shot of awful.

Pompeii

Pompeii

Y'all better be three sheets to the wind before imbibing this episode because ya favorite bois start this one on at least their fourth. This one gets messier than a toddler eating spaghetti. Relax, snort a line of xanax, and remember we all make mistakes while Cody and CJ take you on a lazy river ride down the blue lagoon headed straight for the bay of Pompeii. Hard hats and goggles not included.

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary

Don't say her name three times or you will suffer a fate on par with a 16th century Protestant. Don't BURN through this episode because there is a lot at STAKE. CJ is forced to ask for a refund from his improv classes, Cody paints pinpoint strokes in his quest to varnish the wall of injustice, and Marc answers all of the questions you asked out loud over your vehicles speakers. Yes And, Justice.

Muammar Gaddafi

Muammar Gaddafi

Ya bois are back with one of their most researched, but somehow concurrently messiest episode about the Mad Dog of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi. Cody embarks on a journey of unequivocal revenge while CJ straight up breaks his own brain in twain. Also, the JTM poet laureate Marc Jones spins a wicked yarn about King Idris and Henry Kissinger. We promise that will make more sense later.

Henry VIII

Henry VIII

Put on a silk robe, pour yourself a libation, and curl up on a bear skin rug while ya bois serenade you to the bittersweet sounds of all the awful shit that Henry VIII did. Cody and CJ straight up eviscerate this unforgivable twat in the mid season special of JTM. This one has it all and more with a full on roast by CJ while Cody provides more connections than Chicago O'Hare. Also, our bouncing baby Brit Marc Jones closes shit down in the bottom of the ninth to put a barn burner of an episode to bed once and for all. Give em' the sleeper, bois.

Taiwan's White Terror

Taiwan's White Terror

Cody and CJ are back with another soul crushing installment. From 1947 to 1987, Taiwan was a scary place for anyone with negative views on oppression. Needless to say, the bois of JTM would have been DOA. What kind of monster has positive views on oppression, you ask? Well click play and keep your ears sharp and your fists balled for the next 65 minutes to find out. Also, don't forget to stay tuned at the end of the episode for Marc's Correction Corner where  every episode is tied up with a beautiful British bow.

China Floods

Y'all this episode is so wet and wild you might as well have your picture taken at the end of it. Put on your (insert famous mouse name) ears on and straddle a stranger for episode 3 because this ain't no laughing place. How do you do? Not great. Thanks. The China floods of 1931 sucked. Time to be turning around.

Darfur

Darfur

Y'all this one was a few notches above ya bois pay grade. The War in Darfur is extremely complex and just trying to unwrap the conflict nearly broke both veins and brains. Nevertheless, this episode has all of your favorite JTM tropes in spite of the fact that it took the longest to record in the history of the podcast. Cody goes yard, CJ swings at high fastballs, and Marc steals home in episode 2 of season 3. Batter up, buttercup.

Attila the Hun

Attila the Hun

400 BCE was a different time filled with piss, raw meat, horses, and the assholes that rode said horses. Cody and CJ absolutely tear Attila the Hun apart at the seams in the first installment of season 3. However, Attila would have absolutely done the same or worse if he ever crossed paths with your favorite bois. Also, we are very proud to welcome to the JTM family Marc Jones who will provide a much needed audit at the end of the episode called "Marc's Correction Corner". We all could not be happier to be back with you all. Get ready for the most polished and most pitiless season of Justice Time Machine.  @justicetimemachine | justicetimemachine@gmail.com

Lake Nyos Disaster

We're gonna rock down to Cameroon Avenue in this two part water feature. Cody and CJ try their absolute darnedest to understand chemistry, geology, and the art of war. There is no one to blame other than the earth herself. No gods! No kings! Only Justice! justicetimemachine@gmail.com | @justicetimemachine

The Salem Witch Trials

The Salem Witch Trials

Y'all are in for a trick or treat on this eerie episode. Ya bois go full resting witch face and smash The Salem Witch Trials like a November 1st pumpkin. This two part parable will monster your mash and jack your lanterns. justicetimemachine@gmail.com | @justicetimemachine

Elizabeth Bathory

Elizabeth Bathory

Elizabeth Bathory held many titles, but the most recognizable one had to be "THE MOST PROMINENT FEMALE SERIAL KILLER OF ALL TIME". Ya bois try to keep their lunch lower than their spirits in this gruesome and twisted piece of history that will straight up ruin your day. The future is female and the past was a blood bath. @justicetimemachine | justicetimemachine@gmail.com

Unit 731

Unit 731

This one almost completely broke ya bois. Cody and CJ try desperately to hang on to their last shred of hope for humanity as it slowly slips away. Tears were shed and tempers flared while discussing Unit 731. This one is not for the faint of heart. Godspeed, you brave souls.
May 20, 202001:34:59
Ivan the Terrible

Ivan the Terrible

Zoinks gang this one is straight up bonkers. The danger-prone ghost of Ivan the Terrible haunts the entire episode. Meanwhile, the mystery gang (Cody and CJ) try to remove his mask of misery. Grab some snacks, gas up your van, and hop in for the ride of your life. But for reals this dude sucks butt. Lemme at 'em! LEMME AT 'EM! 

May 12, 202001:15:22
47 Ronin

47 Ronin

It's not just one of the best Keanu Reeves movies, it's also a true story about 47 samurai planning some most excellent revenge. Strange things are afoot in the Ako Domain and it all ends with bodacious battle. The audio quality on this one leaves something to be desired, but Cody and CJ promise that the story itself certainly slaps hard enough to make you forget all about that. We're Wyld Stallyns! 

May 06, 202001:26:55
Gilles de Rais

Gilles de Rais

Cody and CJ kick off S2 E2 with this insufferable piece of human garbage named Gilles de Rais aka Bluebeard. This one is a little less beard and a lot more blue so prepare your ears, minds, and hearts for some very heavy subject matter. Honestly, we are just sick of talking about him so just try your best to get through it.  

Apr 27, 202001:13:17
Blackbeard

Blackbeard

Ya bois are back in town! Cody and CJ are kicking off Season 2 with a real beard burner! Blackbeard, or Edward Teach, could hold a master class in how to fuck shit up on the high seas. Grab a flagon of rum, batten down your hatches, and prepare your ears for a walk down the plank of history! Disclaimer: this episode is ARR rated!

The Circassian Genocide

Two boys. One genocide. Zero survivors. This one almost broke our brains while the prince broke bread. No thanks, giving.

St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre

St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre

Catholic's vs. Protestants. Y'all probably see where this is going already, but a surprisingly lucid Cody and CJ spin a wicked web of treachery, deceit, and donkeys in 16th century Paris. Grab a fine wine, a fluffy croissant, and let this non secular slaughterhouse sink it's teeth into you.
