#495 - Listener Emails, Warner Bros vs Theaters, and Chappelle vs Streaming

We start out this week with a bushel full of listener emails! Including one that is very controversial to our Chuck and Brad hearts! Chuck talks about why there hasn't been a Brian Quinn interview on TESD Town History yet and his affection for Trey Parker and Matt Stone. We talk about new Christmas songs from the Dropkick Murphys and the Offspring (same song!). Chuck talks about a self-improvement goal with hopes talking about it on the podcast will result in increased accountability. We talk about our Thanksgiving weekends (including Chuck's trip to film with Tell 'Em Steve Dave), then about the charity table read for It's A Wonderful Life, starring Pete Davidson as George Bailey. Chuck tells me about Tales of the Uncanny, as well as his profound affection for the game Tetris Effect (he's playing it in my living room as I write this synopsis). We gush about the documentary series Marvel's 616 and then break into the big news items of the week. Warner Bros plans to release some of its biggest 2021 films into theaters and on HBO Max at the same time - what does that mean for theaters? For movies? And then we talk about HBO Max and Netflix streaming Chappelle's Show, and Dave Chappelle not seeing any money from the deal. Controversy!

Episode 325: Rancid + Dropkick Murphys, Senior Discount Attacked, and Chuck Almost Drowns!

After the normal social media plugs, we talk about the below Web Couliers. After that, we talk at length about Disney's new streaming service (that starts in 2019) and try to figure out how we are going to consume visual media in the future. After that, Chuck reads selections of a review of Senior Discount's new album. I have no skin in this game; if someone doesn't like the music, that's a valid opinion. That having been said, this is a dumb review and we spend some time marveling at the dumbness of it. Once we get that bile out of our systems, we talk about some Chuck birthday celebrations, then our trip to see Rancid and the Dropkick Murphys in concert. Chuck tells me the story of his kayaking misadventure and I am suitably impressed. We talk about seeing the Lion King in theaters, and close with compliments for Chuck's birthday dinner at Cook and Dagger!
