#575 - Frank Turner, Brad Terrifies His Cat, and Tales From Jury Duty

How many people have to criticize something before you start taking that criticism seriously? We discuss this in regards to Chuck's work and come to solid conclusions. I tell Chuck about inadvertently traumatizing my cat with the Roomba Chuck got me for Christmas. We talk about seeing Frank Turner doing an acoustic matinee show and how jury duty almost ruined it. Chuck also believes he should be a professional juror, which is not really a thing!

#574 - TESD's "Chuck Roast," Top Gun: Maverick, and Jurassic World Dominion

Ray Harrington is with us this week! We talk about the recent TESD episode about Chuck and how he should respond to the TESD guys. After some classic tangent nonsense, Chuck and I break down Top Gun: Maverick for Ray. Was it too patriotic? Did Chuck and Brad make a pact to learn how to fly a jet before prom? Maybe! Then we offer a spoiler-free review of the new Jurassic World film and, after making it very clear when spoilers start, discuss the plot (such as it is) of the entire movie.

#573 - Chuck Films with Drew Barrymore, Brad's Curious Correspondence, and Everything Everywhere All At Once

We kick things off with listener emails - should we accept gifts? Brad tells a wacky work story and we try to figure out if it is a prank. We discuss our approaches to dating and what level of putting ourselves out there is appropriate. Brad talks about the Conan (the Cimmerian) books and we try to figure out why so many Tuesdays with Stories listeners come at Chuck online. Chuck talks about his experience filming with Mike Birbiglia and Drew Barrymore. We recap our experience with the Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Newport and wax enthusiastic about a Memorial Day Cookout. We offer our spoiler-free thoughts on the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once and then, after making the delineation point very clear, launch into a full review of the whole movie.

#572 - The Our Father documentary, Morbius, and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)

Ray Harrington joins us this week and we (once again) immediately go off the rails. I talk about blacking out on Ambien and somehow this leads to an extended riff about the JonBenet Ramsey case. Chuck explains the Netflix documentary Our Father to Ray and me and we are suitably appalled. Speaking of appalling, we also watched Morbius. We close with an extended discussion about the new Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers movie and how we felt they executed the pop culture mash-up in 2022!
