Episode 222: Xbox Backward Compatibility, Bad Boys Movies, and the Local Music Scene

The 222nd episode features local musician/promoter Davey Moore of Midday Records. The three guys banter about some upcoming shows and Chuck gives a bite-sized review of Senior Discount's recent show at the Met. They discuss some backward compatibility news for the Xbox One from the world of Microsoft and try and wrap their heads around how exactly it will work. From there, Chuck drops a bombshell on Brad about future movies in the "Bad Boys" franchise.
Davey brings his knowledge as a promoter to the discussion - that started a few weeks ago - about the business practices going on in the local Rhode Island music scene. What exactly is "pay to play," and how does it affect bands, promoters, and venues? What changes need to be made to more forward as a community of artists and businesspersons? A reasonable discussion is had!

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.
