Episode 213: Jurassic Park, Recapping the Mad Max Saga, and Mad Max: Fury Road

The 213th installment finds Chuck and Brad welcoming back their pal Brian Lau for a discussion. There are the typical updates to start the show, then a discussion of some of the below Web Couliers. The guys recap the recent showing (for friends) of Jurassic Park on the projector in Chuck's backyard. Brad goes through the trivia questions he wrote and reads some of the best answers. Chuck talks a little bit about Memorial Day, then the guys dive into the main course.
Brian Lau had never seen the first three Mad Max movies. Chuck and Brad try to recap the films for Mr. Lau. It does not go smoothly. Hear about the series' changes from 1979's Mad Max through the end of the 1985 film Beyond Thuderdome.
The guys then discuss the 2015 film "Mad Max: Fury Road" and talk about their feelings on the summer blockbuster. After a thorough spoiler-free discussion of the film's merits, the guys banter a little more before signing off for the evening.

Episode 212: Letterman, Smartwatch Woes, and Alkaline Trio

Episode 212 starts with Brad lamenting his earlier dentist visit and the fact that his mouth is numb. He and Chuck kick into some updates, then talk about the below Web Couliers. This leads into a discussion about mashup music and the guys' views on said music. Chuck offers some Movie Driplets, talking about a 20th Century Fox "New Mutants" project, a movie starring The Lonely Island, and Harry Shearer leaving The Simpsons.
Brad uses this as a natural segue into discussing David Letterman's pending departure from TV and the impact he had on comedy. Chuck talks about his new part-time job situation, then brings back an old favorite segment "Chuck's Petty Printouts."
Once the guys have covered the topic of scams on eBay, they talk about their experiences over the past week, including an in-depth review of three of Alkaline Trio's Boston "Past Live" shows. One of the shows found Senior Discount drummer Christian Staton looking like he did in the below picture. Which is to say...putrid.

Episode 210: Our Video Screening and Avengers: Age of Ultron

Episode number 210 of the podcast features Brad and Chuck riding solo together. Somehow. It starts with some Senior Discount updates, Chuck mentions the below Web Coulier, then offers some Movie Driplets about a Kingsman sequel and the Days of Future Past: Rogue Cut. C&B then discuss the recent screening of the video they've been working on for months - how did it go over? What worked well, and what worked......less......well.
After a thorough discussion, Brad tells Chuck about his trip to Indiana, and Chuck tells Brad about what he missed here in New England. A quick mention of some wrestling topics, then the heart of the podcast is breached.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is doing very well at the box office - what did Chuck and Brad think of it? What did they like and dislike, and why did they feel that way? After talking about the movie (HEAVY SPOILERS), they talk about a poorly-written article that discusses the Black Widow's role in the movie.
