#433 - Haunted Vermont, The Witch, Possessions, and Chuck's Decorating Party

Bad news! Chuck is not feeling well. And rather than subjecting you to his somehow-more-nasal-than-ever voice, we've assembled some autumn/Halloween segments from old episodes into a new package to get you into the season! We hear about Chuck's trip to Vermont and the hunt for the perfect maple latte. I talk about the movie The Witch, and we talk about possessions and exorcisms. And we also chat about Chuck's decorating party from last year (I just realized Chuck may have done this intentionally so I will be more psyched about his decorating party THIS year. He's devious!)

#432 - Eric Andre, Battle At Big Rock, and Disney Plus

Hello Chu-bies! After we dip into Chuck's Work Woes (part seven in a series of infinity), we somehow get on the topic of Rip Van Winkle - we try (and fail) to remember the story, then try (and fail) to glean meaning from it. Chuck tells me about all the shows and movies coming to Disney Plus this fall and we try (and fail) to remember the plot of the movie "Camp Nowhere." We talk about the Jurassic World short film "Battle At Big Rock" and how it ties into the Jurassic-verse. We discuss the film Eighth Grade and Chuck tells me about a new (to him) restaurant in town. We briefly talk about Chuck's articles on veganism, then he tells me about a cool magazine party he went to. I discuss how I tried (and failed) to get tickets to an event I was super excited about, then tell him all about last week's Providence Improv Fest. We close with Chuck describing the Eric Andre live show he went to over this past weekend - sounded great!

#431 - The Hella Megatour, Embracing the Patriots, and What Cheer Writers' Club Podcast Party

We start out talking about Chuck's newfound appreciation for football, specifically following the New England Patriots (ugh!). From there, we discuss the announcement of the Hella Mega Tour featuring Green Day, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and the Interrupters. We talk about our videogame night and SNES games on the Nintendo Switch. Chuck tells me about attending a yard sale and making a pretty outstanding purchase and we discuss my disdain for yard sales in general. We talk about the new restaurant in town, La Pinata (I can't get the accent mark to appear over the n!) and the What Cheer Writers' Club's Podcast Listening Party. We close by talking about how quickly the summer passed and what is coming up for the fall.

#430 - We get In-Depth about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

A unique episode this week! A few weeks ago, we guested on the podcast "Geeking Out With Shades and Sketch" to talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movies from 1990 and 2014. We had such a good time and shared so much about the Ninja Turtles in general, we asked Shades and Sketch if we could release the conversation as an episode of OUR podcast as well! So this is it! We talk about how history with the turtles, how we felt about the comics, toys, tv shows, and movies, then break down the "original" live-action film as well as the rebooted 2014 version. A super fun talk!

Note from Chuck: During this talk on GOWSAS (please call their podcast "Gow-Sass" from now on), I realized I had never really deeply discussed my feelings about the turtles on OUR own podcast, despite ten years and roughly 650 hours of recording. So I KNEW we needed to put this recording into our "canon." Super happy the Gow-Sass gals (please refer to them as the "Gow-Sass gals" from now on) were down for it!
