#371: A Ducktales Obsession, and James Gunn's Controversy

It's just Chuck and I this week! We talk about how tired we are and speculate on the cause of said tiredness. Chuck talks about the new Senior Discount album and how delighted he is with the reception so far. We run down the past week in our lives and say goodbye to our pal Katy; Chuck uses this time to talk at length about how excited he is about the reboot of Ducktales and the merch that goes with it, including his scam to redecorate his home in a Scrooge motif. I talk about the wedding of some friends, then we talk about Disney firing James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3. Did the company make the right choice, firing someone for off-color jokes made years ago?!

Episode 332: New Futurama, The Future Of Technology, and "UHF" Live

We're joined this week by local self-proclaimed beauty queen Gina Mastrostefano. We review some listener emails discussing the power of language, a Die Hard Christmas book, the Ducktales theme song in emojis, and a sketch from James Corden. We then duck into movie driplets about an upcoming Jim Carrey/Andy Kaufman documentary and the new Futurama episode (recorded through Nerdist). Chuck tells us about new innovations in wireless charging; this leads to a long discussion about the future of technology and what it will look like and how quickly we'll get there. An unplanned tangent that leads to some really interesting places! Even more interesting than the year 3000? The new Batman/TMNT comic book crossover! We talk about the band "Decapitated" and the charges against them, then talk about Chuck's Nintendo Switch and we all marvel at his Mario Kart prowess. We recount a recent trip to see a screening of "UHF" and Q&A with Weird Al Yankovic, then talk about our time this weekend riding electric bikes around Bristol!
