#467 - Gear Woes, The Invitation, and Streets of Rage

We start out this week by joking about some health woes? Will Chuck die from carpal-tunnel syndrome? Maybe! But don't tell him I said anything! We talk about Mark Normand's new comedy special premiering on YouTube, then Chuck talks about his hunt for a new camera and the struggles that go into it. We then discuss movies we've seen recently, including Stuber, Hotel Artemis, and Arkansas. We both watched The Invitation and talk at length about that as a thriller. Chuck drops some news about future Deadpool movies, as well as a possible Community movie. We talk about Scream 5 and our experiences with the Scream series. We close this week by talking about our attempt to beat the first three games in the "Streets of Rage" series (which came out between 1991 and 1994). Were we able to beat the notoriously difficult third game? Listen and find out!

Episode 117: Chuck Staton's High School Journal and the new "Star Trek"

Episode 117 of the C&B PC (as the cool kids call it) opens with C and B (as the nerds call them) discussing the upcoming video game Payday 2, then segue into a discussion on purchasing games for systems that have already had their successors announced.
After that, some entertainment tidbits are covered. Fat Mike will be recording with Against Me! for an unnamed project! Wow! What do Brad and Chuck think about Dan Harmon's return to Community? And what did the boyz think of the new Star Trek movie?
Recently, Chuck found a journal he kept (by the side of the bed) during his senior year of high school and first year after he graduated. Stories he shares through the words of his 17 and 18-year-old self include the story of his first kiss, an almost-hookup, and his first....other experiences with girls. He shares some sad, sexy, and some sexy-yet-sad stories from that time period as well, all described with the grace and restraint of a teenager writing something that's not designed for public consumption. Enjoy!

Episode 106: Chuck and Brad's Media Catch-Up

It's been a month since we last heard from Chuck and Brad, and they have a lot to talk about. They work their way chronologically through (about) the first six weeks of 2013 and talk about media they've experienced and live events they've attended. After some banter concerning Brad's place at Chuck's parents' house during holidays, they dive in. The boyz discuss their trip to Boston to see Louis CK do stand-up, then they give a very brief review of Django Unchained. Chuck talks about a Comedy Central event he attended in Boston, then Brad and Chuck spend a while discussing Dan Harmon's live "Harmontown" podcast and Brad really comes across like a terrible creep.
Paranormal Activity 4 is next up on their docket, then a discussion of the WWE Royal Rumble. They discuss the Dave Grohl-produced documentary Sound City, then the documentary Bully. The podcast closes with Chuck and Brad talking about their harrowing experiences during Winter Storm Nemo.
