#371: A Ducktales Obsession, and James Gunn's Controversy

It's just Chuck and I this week! We talk about how tired we are and speculate on the cause of said tiredness. Chuck talks about the new Senior Discount album and how delighted he is with the reception so far. We run down the past week in our lives and say goodbye to our pal Katy; Chuck uses this time to talk at length about how excited he is about the reboot of Ducktales and the merch that goes with it, including his scam to redecorate his home in a Scrooge motif. I talk about the wedding of some friends, then we talk about Disney firing James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3. Did the company make the right choice, firing someone for off-color jokes made years ago?!

#370: Senior Discount's Album Release Party and Warped Tour

Packed house this week! We are joined by Senior Discount drummer Christian Staton, as well as his girlfriend Melissa Rodriques. Chuck's girlfriend Gina is here as well, as is our departing friend Katy Holland! So many people! After some Chuck and Brad updates, we dive into it: Chuck and Christian's band Senior Discount has released a new album through Paper and Plastick Records, and last Friday was the album release show! Hear the nitty-gritty details of the process leading up to the show, as well as a thorough review of the show itself. After that, we talk about our trip to Hartford and the band's experience playing Warped Tour. Also, Chuck and I bicker about the quality of our hotel room in Hartford. We close with some find reminiscing about Katy as she prepares to move back to Virginia.

#369: Ant-Man & The Wasp, Jurassic World 2 and Westworld Season 2

We start out this week talking about Senior Discount's album release show, before going into our Pod Topics. We talk first about the movie "Tag" and branch off (somewhat) into wondering about Great Comedies. We resume our discussion of the movie, then talk about the newest Marvel movie - Ant-Man and the Wasp. Spoiler-free, all of it! We then offer our (still spoiler-free) thoughts on season two of Westworld, before sharing our (spoiler-free) thoughts on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Once those are out, we make it clear we're about to do spoilers, then fully discuss the second Jurassic World film and then give spoilers (and thoughts) on Westworld Season 2. So even if you haven't watched those yet, you can listen to most of the episode!
