#534 - Chuck's Nerf Obsession, The Val Kilmer Documentary, and Our Dark Knight Show Recap

We kick things off with Chuck bragging about his cool new Nerf collection - am I foolish for thinking that if foam darts are rocketing toward my eyes, some glasses might be helpful? Chuck seems to think so! We then answer some listener emails including a big Would You Rather. From there, Chuck tells me about the Val Kilmer documentary "Val" on Prime Video and I agree to watch it soon. After that, he tells me all about his cool Rhode Island Day with TESD mainstay Frank Five and Mrs. Five. Finally, we talk about our recent gig at the Comedy Connection; all the work behind the scenes, everything that went wrong, so many jokes at Ray Harrington's expense, then winning the crowd over with the final bit. The show was a success.

#465: Universal Pictures vs AMC Theatres, Groundhog Day, and That Kevin Smith Club

Just us this week! Chuck and I talk about our recent experiences, including the phenomenon of spending money just to feel something during the Stay At Home order. We talk about some things our family members are going through as well - pulling back the collective curtain on our actual lives. I tell Chuck about the Mr. Rogers documentary and my emotional reaction to it. He explains the Beastie Boys documentary (we briefly discussed it last week) and HIS emotional reaction to that! So many emotions. We then move to discuss news - after the success of Trolls: World Tour on streaming rentals, what does this mean for the future of movies (specifically movies from Universal) in theaters (specifically AMC theaters)? Chuck describes his feelings about the movie Groundhog Day, which he has recently seen for the first time. And finally, we discuss That Kevin Smith Club, the paysite for all things Kevin Smith! Wow!

#423 - A Q&A with Scott Klopfenstein and Coolie Ranx

Ska fans rejoice! We attended a screening of "Pick It Up: Ska in the 90's" to host a Q&A with Scott Klopfenstein! Yes, the dude from Reel Big Fish and the Littlest Man Band! It gets better! We also had Coolie Ranx from the Pilfers join the Q&A! And we RECORDED that Q&A for you!!!!!! Wow! After I tell Chuck a brief story about a scam I recently pulled (and "scam" may be stretching it), we tell the whole story of how we got involved with the movie/Q&A/show. We talk about our trip to and from Brooklyn and also discuss road trip etiquette! Super fun talk and that's just LEADING UP to the Q&A!!!!!!

#403 - The Story of Shaun Colón

It's an interview! We are joined (via phone) by filmmaker and musician Shaun Colón! We learn about his entire story - childhood musical memories, getting involved in tech, opening a recording studio - all eventually ending up with him directing the documentary "A Fat Wreck!" We talk about the story behind the documentary and some hilarious anecdotes from filming! What did he have to wear to hang out in Fat Mike's pool? Listen and find out!
Closing the show this week is Paper + Plastick Records' artist Senior Discount with their song Afterlife!

#399 - Fyre Documentary, Bad Times At The El Royale, and A Star Is Born

This week finds us recording with Gina Mastrostefano and Dylan the Intern! Chuck and I discuss some listener emails about wrestling and The Beatles (separate emails, although I'm pretty sure at least two of the Beatles were intercontinental champs at some point). We talk about our Chipotle party watching the Royal Rumble, Chuck and Gina tell us about his fun trip to New Jersey and NYC and I barely contain my jealousy. After that, we break down some movies! We discuss the (Netflix) documentary about the Fyre Fest, then a spoiler-free review of Bad Times at the El Royale. We follow that with a spoiler-free discussion of A Star Is Born, then make it very clear when we're switching to a spoiler-full review of the film. Film criticism! Woo!
Closing the show this week is fellow Paper and Plastick artist Low Spirits with their song A Father's Forgiveness Song!

Episode 337: Halloween 2017

If the ghouls and goblins are out tonight, then it must be time for another Chuck and Brad Halloween Podcast....right?! We are joined by Brian Decoteaux and Nic Hallenbeck for our annual Halloween podcast. We talk about the Halloween/autumnal things we've done over the past month, concluding in a brief recap of the first ever Chuck and Brad's Halloween Spook-tacular Live Comedy Show! I read my prediction for what Chuck's prank on me was and everything!
We revisit our favorite yearly repeated bit - Rejected Halloween Costumes! We talk about new Halloween favorites: The Cinematic Oblivion Podcast's "Slasher Series," the Brooklyn 99 Halloween Heist episodes, The "With Derek and Ray" Halloween podcasts, and the recent Cracked Movie Club podcasts about 'Halloween' and 'The Thing.' Finally, Chuck provides the solution to a problem that's been troubling our Halloween podcasts for years - the nonsensical special "Halloween is Grinch Night." Chuck solves the logistical problems and links ALL the Grinch movies with one common thread. Take a listen!

Episode 328: The Story of Ray Harrington

This is one of my favorite episodes ever. We are joined by Ray Harrington - comedian, documentarian, good human. We talk about his new album "Overwhelmed," about his documentary "Be A Man," and about his story - how he got started with comedy, what led him to stand-up, and so many other fun and funny topics. It was a great time recording this episode, and I think that will really translate to your listening experience.
