#499 - Chuck and Brad's Year In Review - Part 1

2020 was an odd year. We talk about what our plans were coming into 2020 and how things ended up for us. In this episode, we make it through the first six months of a bizarre year and talk about creative endeavors, safety measures, and me throwing a shrieking fit at work. I came close to another one yesterday! Enjoy!

#498 - Christmas 2020 - The Rohrer You Know: Frosty, The Grinch, and Rudolph

This is a special Christmas episode! Rather that sit in a studio/my kitchen to record, Chuck and I are mobile! We drive around and look at Christmas lights to boost our holiday spirit! And hopefully yours! After a quick tale of game-console-related retail success this season, we then offer "The Rohrer You Know" - a segment in which I educate Chuck on things he'd like to know about! In this case, we look at three popular TV specials: Frosty the Snowman, Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. In between stopping at houses to gawp at the marvelous displays, I provide Chuck with trivia and behind-the-scenes information about these Christmas classics! I also offer a plot synopsis of the sequel "Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas In July" and it is absolutely bonkers. We close with a listener email and drive home safely!

#495 - Listener Emails, Warner Bros vs Theaters, and Chappelle vs Streaming

We start out this week with a bushel full of listener emails! Including one that is very controversial to our Chuck and Brad hearts! Chuck talks about why there hasn't been a Brian Quinn interview on TESD Town History yet and his affection for Trey Parker and Matt Stone. We talk about new Christmas songs from the Dropkick Murphys and the Offspring (same song!). Chuck talks about a self-improvement goal with hopes talking about it on the podcast will result in increased accountability. We talk about our Thanksgiving weekends (including Chuck's trip to film with Tell 'Em Steve Dave), then about the charity table read for It's A Wonderful Life, starring Pete Davidson as George Bailey. Chuck tells me about Tales of the Uncanny, as well as his profound affection for the game Tetris Effect (he's playing it in my living room as I write this synopsis). We gush about the documentary series Marvel's 616 and then break into the big news items of the week. Warner Bros plans to release some of its biggest 2021 films into theaters and on HBO Max at the same time - what does that mean for theaters? For movies? And then we talk about HBO Max and Netflix streaming Chappelle's Show, and Dave Chappelle not seeing any money from the deal. Controversy!
