#480 - An American Pickle, High Score, and DC Fandome

We take a one-week break from "TESD Town History" this week, but it will be back next week! We open some voting to the Chubies (that's you) to help determine which horror series we watch and recap this October. We talk about the upcoming reboot of The Thing and get on a whole tangent about getting stranded in a blizzard a few years back. We talk about the upcoming Action Park documentary, the surprising cancellations of Tosh.O and Drunk History, the HBO Max Seth Rogen movie An American Pickle, then the new documentary series on Netflix about the history of video games - High Score. Chuck raves about the documentary series I'll Be Gone In The Dark and we vow (?) to solve a cold murder case before the end of the year.
After that, we talk about the announcements that came from this year's DC Fandome event. Our levels of excitment and caution do NOT match as we discuss the games Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. We discuss the upcoming Flash movie and of course...the trailer for The Batman. Which one of us is cautiously optimistic and which one of us claims to be but is secretly sporting a "DC Movies 4-ever" tattoo?

#478 - The Story of Walt Flanagan

Part one in a multi-part miniseries, "TESD Town History!" Chuck sits down for an in-person one-on-one with Walt Flanagan of Tell 'Em Steve-Dave, inside Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Walt talks about his entire life in creativity - from drawing comics, to starring in AMC's "Comic Book Men," to reluctantly starting the podcast, and now showrunning a massively successful Patreon. We also hear how about Chuck's eventual involvement and a funeral invitation led to Walt and Chuck connecting (yes, seriously). It's an incredibly interesting dive into the experiences of an incredibly interesting man. After that, Chuck forces me to tell an embarrassing story from my past in which I feud with a Salvation Army Santa Calus. Also - yes, seriously.

#477 - Our Trip To New Hampshire (and BONUS CONTENT from Jersey!)

This is an unusual episode! Comedian Robert Kelly kicks off the show with a plug for his upcoming show at the Comedy Connection in East Providence, RI. But then, recorded while in transit from New Hampshire back to the friendly confines of Rhode Island, this episode features longtime pal Katy Johnson. We talk about our trip to New Hampshire - how did we stay safe, what restaurants did we eat at, what natural wonders awed and wowed us, how many things did Katy and Chuck bicker about? Important stuff like that! Learn how I feel about surrendering control to a river's current! And don't forget the BONUS CONTENT recorded in Jersey, as Chuck calls me in the middle of my workday to tell me about his hellacious Holiday Inn experience!
