Blastazoid was a video game themed MTV show starring CKY Crew members Brandon DiCamillo, Rake Yohn and Joe Frantz. The show featured pranks and set-ups reminiscent of predecessor Bam Margera, and showcased user-created gaming footage found on the internet. Only two episodes of the show were aired. It is unclear how many were originally planned or actually filmed. The show was eventually cancelled because of a dispute between MTV and the makers of the show. The show eventually evolved into a podcast which is run by more or less the same crew, Art Webb 1986, Rake Yohn and Brandon DiCamillo to name a few. The podcast is called "GameCasa", they also have a website and a YouTube channel, where they make videos/reviews related to video games in a way reminiscent of Blastazoid.
