#469 - The Rhode Show's Brendan Kirby, Nobody Speak, and Trial By Media

We are joined this week by Brendan Kirby! Brendan is currently one of the hosts on Rhode Island morning show "The Rhode Show" and we were very excited to catch up with him and find out his story. We talk about how his college education and hard work led him to where he currently is! Very interesting and inspiring to hear about hard work paying off! After he signs off, Chuck and I discuss the Gawker/Hogan documentary "Nobody Speak" and somehow avoid getting into our 350th disagreement about the case! Wow! Historic! Chuck tells me about the new Netflix series "Trial By Media" and I am riveted! Fun stuff!

#468 - Chuck's Donut Hunt, Animated Dramas, and Blade Runner

We open with a brief dicussion of Chuck's current hillbilly-like status before updating his injury status from last week. He talks about his efforts to get a fancy French Dip sandwich this week as well as going on a Jelly Donut hunt for his grandfather's 95th birthday. I'm still not sure how this ended up with us talking about TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. We talk about Nick Swardson's appearance on Steve-O's podcast, then I bring up a book series I just finished and ask Chuck the question: why aren't there animated series aimed at adults? After we try and parse that out, I talk about finishing the game Dishonored 2 and using a walkthrough for most of it - should I feel ashamed? From there, we discuss me watching Blade Runner for the first time this weekend, then follow up with my thoughts on Blade Runner 2049. We talk a little bit about movies that make us cry and that becomes a discussion of songs and videos that elicit tears. Happy tears, I mean. The good kind.

#467 - Gear Woes, The Invitation, and Streets of Rage

We start out this week by joking about some health woes? Will Chuck die from carpal-tunnel syndrome? Maybe! But don't tell him I said anything! We talk about Mark Normand's new comedy special premiering on YouTube, then Chuck talks about his hunt for a new camera and the struggles that go into it. We then discuss movies we've seen recently, including Stuber, Hotel Artemis, and Arkansas. We both watched The Invitation and talk at length about that as a thriller. Chuck drops some news about future Deadpool movies, as well as a possible Community movie. We talk about Scream 5 and our experiences with the Scream series. We close this week by talking about our attempt to beat the first three games in the "Streets of Rage" series (which came out between 1991 and 1994). Were we able to beat the notoriously difficult third game? Listen and find out!

#466: Brad Blunders, The Last of Us 2, and Days N' Daze

We all make mistakes, right? Well, I talk about two mistakes I've made recently and chuckle at my innocent idiocy in regards to both groceries and garbage. From there, we shift to a "The Rohrer You Know" segment about shingles. Gross! Chuck tells me about the new Universal theme park opening in 2023. We discuss films getting "IMAX releases" on VD as well as a comedy festival airing this weekend on NBC. We talk about the HBO docuseries based on the Michelle McNamara book "I'll Be There In The Dark." We discuss the leaks from NaughtyDog's new game "The Last of Us 2" and the culture of fandom that produced them. We talk about movies we've watched recently - Creed, Creed II, The Goonies, and Bad Trip. I talk about making playlists with people I work with. Chuck gushes over the new album by Days N' Daze, and we close with updates about the Universal studios versus AMC theatres. The closing song is "Langley" by Sully Banger.

#465: Universal Pictures vs AMC Theatres, Groundhog Day, and That Kevin Smith Club

Just us this week! Chuck and I talk about our recent experiences, including the phenomenon of spending money just to feel something during the Stay At Home order. We talk about some things our family members are going through as well - pulling back the collective curtain on our actual lives. I tell Chuck about the Mr. Rogers documentary and my emotional reaction to it. He explains the Beastie Boys documentary (we briefly discussed it last week) and HIS emotional reaction to that! So many emotions. We then move to discuss news - after the success of Trolls: World Tour on streaming rentals, what does this mean for the future of movies (specifically movies from Universal) in theaters (specifically AMC theaters)? Chuck describes his feelings about the movie Groundhog Day, which he has recently seen for the first time. And finally, we discuss That Kevin Smith Club, the paysite for all things Kevin Smith! Wow!
