#377 - The Cranking and Skanking Festival, WBRU Summer Concert Series, and "Searching"

Back in the studio this week. We plug some upcoming shows, then get into movie driplets - the Venom movie MIGHT have Tom Holland show up, Dave Bautista isn't happy with Disney, then a few other things I forgot to write down. After that, we talk about Chuck's band playing the Cranking and Skanking Festival in Worcester with Big D and the Kids Table, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Bouncing Souls, and so many others! From there, Chuck tells me about his band (finally) playing one of the nights on WBRU's Summer Concert Series. We close by talking about the new movie "Searching" and how much we both enjoyed it. Spoiler alert: a lot.

#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?!

This week we welcome Gina Mastrostefano and Lou Perella on the podcast! We kick things off with a spoiler-free review of Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2. Once we've shared our brilliant opinions, we move on to a long discussion about the live podcast we recently hosted. We break down the segments (also spoiler-free) and talk about the background of the night and how we felt about things. We also read some audience feedback and have some fun with that. Once that is done, we dive BACK into Guardians and give a spoiler-full review of what we liked and what we didn't about the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Episode 289: The Shining, Halloween Activities, and The Interrupters

Chuck and I dive right into talk about some stuff we did the week of Halloween. Chuck went to see "The Shining" in theaters and we break it down. He also watched the documentary Room 237 and we break THAT down. I know it's not cool to say about our own podcast, but I really enjoyed this conversation. Chuck relays tales from his exciting weekend to me, we talk about our trip to Boston to see WWE Hell in a Cell (in costume)!
We talk about Chuck's band Senior Discount opening for Strung Out, Hannibal Burress' new podcast, and the treasure trove of pop culture that arrived in mid-October: the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 teaser, the Nintendo Switch announcement, the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, the new Blink-182 video, and the trailer for Logan. Whoa mama! We also chat about some recent very entertaining issues of Spider-Man and Deadpool
We close this week by reviewing the recent show by The Interrupters at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. Also a fun conversation! I'm full of myself!

Episode 171: "Now We Know What a Steak Fry Is."

Episode 171 finds Chuck and Brad joined by their celebrity doppelgangers, as Wade Bernier and Brian Decoteaux join them for some rousing discussions. C&B talk about their trip to a recent Against Me! show in Providence and talk about the energy of the evening. The discussion continues with talk about recent Marvel movie "Guardians of the Galaxy." Chuck talks about the "birthday show" that Senior Discount performed in, and about how the pod pals brought their recording set-up to allow Chuck's friends to record birthday wishes all night (to be posted at the end of this episode).
Chuck talks about his recent visit to Boston Comic-Con to visit Patrick and shop, and Brad talks about going to visit Patrick and resent crowds. The boys then fill in Wade and Brian on the recent show Chuck played with Kris Roe of The Ataris. Was Kris a good guy, or just another celebrity looking to make Brad feel bad?
Finally, Chuck and Brian talk about a disturbing night they had with forty middle-aged men and two strippers. It's pretty gross - even by our lax standards! This is one of the most sexually graphic podcast stories we've done. You've been warned!
Once that is out of the way, the podcast gives way to some more positivity, as the birthday wishes that were wished to Chuck at his birthday show are added on to the episode and shared with the world. Such sweet messages could only be meant for one man.
