#486 - Borat 2, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, and Jamie Foxx as Electro (Again!)

We start off this week, of course, by not really remembering or understanding Rumpelstiltskin. What a weird story. Chuck puts the finishing touches on his tale about working for Kevin Smith and filming the live Jay and Silent Bob Get Old Tenth Anniversary show a few weeks ago. We talk about the movie The Box and whether or not we would push a button that gives us a million dollars (and causes someone else's death). Conan O'Brien has signed a new deal with Audible and we discuss what that means for podcasting. We discuss our feelings about Borat and the Borat 2 trailer. Chuck tells me all about the movie Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, which leads to discuss about scare pranks in general (and in specific). We close this week with a discussion about Jamie Foxx reprising his role as Electro in a future Spider-Man film - will this be part of a multiverse for the Marvel movies, or is it just a unique casting decision?

#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.
