Episode 248: Spy, Knock Knock, and Joke Stealing

Brad botches the opening of episode 248, then botches it again. Hilarity.
After some Brad and S*D updates, the guys talk about their next appearance at the Comedy Connection, coming soon! The guys talk about the below Web Coulier and some other trailers they've loved before Chuck delivers a movie driplet about a space comedy starring podcast favorites Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, and Zack Galifianakis. Sounds awesome! Speaking of movies, the guys recently watched a few - the first, last year's "Spy," is a Paul Feig comedy starring Melissa McCarthy. How much did C&B love it? The second, last year's "Knock Knock," is an Eli Roth thriller starring Melissa McCarthy. How much did C&B love THAT? (Less.)
The rest of the episode concerns the recent allegations that Amy Schumer has stolen jokes. Chuck and Brad don't buy it, and talk about why. They also talk about some jokes of their own that have seeped into pop culture, and about the current comedy landscape that is rife for plunder. Comedy plunder.

Episode 227: Oddball 2015, Discovering New Music, and Super Mario Maker

Episode 227 starts out with a brief discussion of the taco challenge for RI Food Fights before getting into some Brad and Chuck updates. After that, the guys talk about the below Web Couliers, stopping briefly to take a phone call from an unexpected guest. They finish the discussion, then a quick movie driplet of news, THEN hit a big topic: the Oddball Comedy Fest 2015. The guys saw eight comedians in one show - what did they think? Who stood out? Which joke was the best of the night?
Chuck gives a brief recounting of his adventures Saturday night, then gives a spoiler-free review of new M. Night Shyamalan film "The Visit." Brad talks about using Spotify's "Discover New Music" feature to discover.....new.....uh, music. The guys talk about how they access new music and what brings it up on their radar. From there, it's a seamless - wait, no, another phone call from another unexpected guest. Twice in one podcast! The guys talk about the new Wii U game Super Mario Maker and all the fun they've had with it to close out the podcast.

Episode 217: Appropriate Comedy, Feminism in Jurassic World, and E3 Views

The 217th installment slides into your brain or something this week. After some updates on upcoming shows, the guys discuss the below Web Couliers; well, at least one of them at this time. Chuck provides some movie driplets about the second Guardians of the Galaxy and the second season of Netflix's Daredevil. He throws in an odd story about Jared Leto's Joker from the upcoming Suicide Squad film as well. There's some discussion around The Last of Us 2 for PS4, then the recently announced JK Rowling-written Harry Potter play.
Chuck brings up an article he recently read concerning Amy Schumer's jokes about race. This leads to a deep discussion about what is appropriate in the world of comedy. Many jokes are made. After that, Chuck - who has a masochistic streak to his reading material - brings in another article concerning the allegedly anti-feminist messages of Jurassic World. Given one of the tags for this week's episode is "poor journalism," guess how the guys feel about the author's supposed points?
A few smaller topics follow - a fake plane crash prank done to Paris Hilton divides the guys, and Chuck tries to relay his joy at the Bad Boy reunion on the recent BET Awards. C&B talk about the new Pixar movie "Inside Out" and discuss their enjoyment levels thereof, then close the show by talking about their feelings on the Electronics Entertainment Expo announcements. If you are the guy who sat in front of Brad at the Sony thing, I am sorry I kicked your chair, but still think you're kind of a narrow-minded buffoon.
