Episode 235: Slave Leia is No More! and Back to the Future

Episode 235 of the C&B PC has two special guests - Gina Mastrostefano and Patrick Dennis! After everyone cruelly taunts Patrick for his new haircut, the guys publicize some upcoming events. Movie Driplets are discussed, including Marvel Phase 2 Collector's Sets, a reboot of the "Dragon Tattoo" series, news on Bad Santa 2, a 20th Century Fox theme park in Dubai, an Aliens sequel being shelved, and Aziz Ansari's new TV show. Whew!
They return to the topic of crossovers to clarify some points a listener had brought up, Chuck reads insults he Tweeted about WWE Superstar Kane, there's talk of a wrestling-themed soap opera, Streetlight Manifesto is being sued by their former label, and there's a NoFX autobiography coming out! Also, they react to the news that there will be no new Star Wars merchandise featuring "Slave Leia". What the-?
The heart of this episode, though, is the film series Back to the Future and its legacy. With the coming (and going) of the "future date" from Back to the Future 2, everyone marvels at the film's enduring popularity. Our four hardy souls share their feelings about the film and their experiences with it. Chuck also claims Indiana Jones is a cowboy.

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 202: 50 Shades of Grey, Kingsman, and the Parks & Rec Finale

Episode 202 starts out with the traditional mix of nonsense and updates from Chuck and Brad, then they discuss the new Justin Bieber Roast promo (listed below in Web Couliers) and Justin Bieber in general. From there, they delve into some news, as Chuck shares Movie Driplets about Alien 5, an Indiana Jones fan film, Spider-Man's writer, the Walking Dead spin-off, HBO NOW, Tron 3, and more Ghostbusters news.
After movie driplets, Chuck spices things up with some Music Driplets. Wow! There's talk about Less Than Jake or possibly Laura Jane Grace doing entrance music for wrestler Sami Zayn, Tom Delonge's solo record, and moving the universal record release day to Fridays.
Once the driplets are done, C&B revisit an old familiar segment: 60-second reviews. They give brief, to-the-point reviews of the new Spongebob movie, SNL's 40th Anniversay Special, Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Foxcatcher, Mad Max, One Bad Choice, the new Aziz Ansari special, attending a Providence Bruins game, and the book The Martian. Brad talks a little about Far Cry 4, then Chuck boasts of completing Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and finishing this season of Real World: Skeletons.
Brad and Chuck really dig into the Parks and Rec finale and discuss their thoughts on the finale and the show in general. Chuck gives his review (and plot synopsis) for the 50 Shades of Grey movie and does not seem enthused by the project - or its detractors! Chuck and Brad talk about an event they recently attended at Brad's church, then about the announcement of Rock Band 4. They also discuss seeing the movie Kingsman in a spoiler-free manner. They briefly talk about Brad's involvement in a "Roast" and tiptoe around feelings as they do. (If you listen, you can hear the I'm-tired-grumpiness creep in to my voice.)

Episode 127: Band Documentaries, Modern Relationships, and a Review of the Live Podcast

The episode starts with Brad bumming us all out by talking about how he's been incredibly depressed lately. Cheer up, Brad. Eat a KitKat or something. Senior Discount updates follow, with the teaser of bigger announcements to follow soon. The below Web Coulier is talked about, and listener mail is answered.
Chuck brings some Movie Driplets to the table - 12 Monkeys as a TV show, a new movie from the director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Amy Schumer getting a movie deal. The boys talk about the upcoming Green Day documentary Broadway Idiot, and then have a long discussion about the upcoming documentary about the band Leftover Crack.
Switching both genres and media, C&B chat about the news that Aziz Ansari will be writing a relationship book, and share some of their modern relationship woes. In addition, Chuck shares the sad story of the mobile game that was downloaded 50,000 times...and paid for a mere 144 times.
Chuck then offers a new segment, tastefully and creatively titled "Shut the Fuck Up," in which he discusses gripes people have and tells those people what he thinks of their opinions. (It involves them shutting the fuck up.)
This episode closes with a review of the live podcast (episode 126, coming soon to video), and a discussion about the work that went into it, the pride felt by our handsome hosts, and whether or not we're planning another one.
