Episode 138: Fighting Negativity. Also, Movie News!

The 138th episode of the Chuck and Brad podcast starts innocently enough. Chuck asks Brad how he is doing. Brad mentions some improv news, then our two lovable scamplike hosts start talking about the negativity they've seen lately. It starts with Paul Walker's passing and social media reaction thereto. They talk about women in media in 2013. They talk about local bands and support. They talk about a terrible experience at a local eatery. They talk about Spike Lee's "Oldboy."
Then, of course, they move on to what's up with Chuck. Chuck plugs the new Senior Discount album and an upcoming show (see Web Couliers below). Then it's time for movie news! What do they think of Wonder Woman appearing in the Superman/Batman movie? What's the deal with the red band trailer for "Nymphomaniac?" Ooh, is that the trailer for "Amazing Spider-Man 2?" Other X-Men movie news follows, then they discuss the film adaptation of "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark."

Episode 137: WWE Survivor Series, Senior Discount at Lupo's, and Shooting Guns

On episode 137 of the Chuck and Brad Podcast, Chuck's kitchen gets very crowded as the guyzos are joined by sultry sweetheart Gina Mastrostefano, and sweaty sweetheart Nic Hallenbeck!
After a listener email about Christmas and some updates from C and B, Chuck opens up a new segment called "Fairchy In Crisis" and he and Brad bemoan the twisted fate of frequent podcast guest Mat Fairchild. Chuck and Brad then display a rare sense of continuity with an update from episode 136 - what do Chuck and Brad, media gluttons, think of their new Xbox One consoles?
The guys and Gina talk about their trip to Hartford to see the documentary "Broadway Idiot." Was the documentary worth watching, or a waste of time? Also, hear some hilarious anecdotes about local naif Eric Maksood! Continuing their weekend jaunts, they talk about their trip to see the WWE Pay-Per-View "Survivor Series" in Boston, and discuss some strange ethical quandaries they found themselves in.
Chuck then talks about Senior Discount's return to Lupo's and some struggles the band has had recently in terms of local support. Have they left the scene behind, or has the scene left them behind? Finally, Nic, Patrick, Chuck and Brad discuss their recent trip to Mass Firearms School to learn how to shoot guns - who earned the title of "Quack Shot?" Also, how much money did Chuck spend on soup at the New England Soup Factory? More than you'd think!
