#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!

#475 -Brad's Birthday, Nudity in Film, and Palm Springs

I love doing the podcast. Just throwing that out there. We talk about what we've been up to, including teasing a big story for next week. I talk about my birthday weekend and what that felt like during these bizarre times. Chuck talks about a series of stressful incidents from earlier this week. From there, we move to some news including a documentary about nudity in cinema. We end up on a tangent about nude scenes/racy movies that we remember from our youth/adolescence. We talk about being alone with our thoughts and how podcasts/TV shows help with that. From there, we discuss our experiences with/expectations of straight-to-streaming films. This segues neatly into a spoiler-free discussion of the direct-to-Hulu film "Palm Springs." We talk about it spoiler-free, then make it abundantly clear when we're about to dive into spoiler territory and further discuss the film.

#471 - Palm Springs, Quarantine TV Episodes, and The King of Staten Island

We are audio-only this week! We talk about that for a lil' bit, then Chuck tells me about new podcasts from Chris DeMakes and Mike Birbiglia. We discuss the trailer for the upcoming film "Palm Springs" and time-loop movies in general. We get hyped for the upcoming HBO documentary "I'll Be Gone In The Dark." We talk about the 30 Rock special coming out in a few weeks and talk about the impermanence of quarantine episodes. Chuck tells me about a Disney d23 special that is not what he thought it was, and ends up talking about "Prop Culture" on Disney+. We talk about some movies we watched this week, and Chuck talks about his parents' recent car accident as well as his recent doctor's visit. Disgusting. I talk a little bit about my church talent show. We offer a spoiler-free review of the new Judd Apatow movie "The King of Staten Island," then make it clear when spoilers will start, then offer our spoiler-full thoughts on the film!

Episode 268: Appropriate (Social) Revenge, Popstar, and X-Men: Apocalypse

We begin this episode (after some normal plugs) by talking about the recent tragedy in Orlando and sharing our thoughts and confusion (mostly confusion). After that, the mood lightens somewhat as Chuck and I discuss the actions of my friend on a bad date, and whether her behavior equaled or exceeded her date's lateness. Please don't let her listen to this episode. We talk a little bit about movie news involving Donald Glover being cast in the new Spider-Man movie, as well as the announcement for Curb Your Enthusiasm season 9. We talk about the new Tim Armstrong record and the new Interrupters single.
After that, it's on to E3 for a while. Remember when we used to be super excited about E3? Good times. In any event, Dead Rising 4 is going to be a Christmas Zombie game, and Chuck's glee is palpable. Chuck then talks about his recent trip to see an episode of Hollywood Babble-On, as well as a productive comic shopping expedition.
From there, it's all about comedy for a while, as we compare and contrast Documentary Now, Lady Dynamite, Neighbors, Neighbors 2, and Popstar. We love Popstar. I talk about going to see Warcraft, then we close the episode discussing X-Men: Apocalypse.
