#514 - Our "Godzilla" and "King Kong" Pitches

Whoa mama! Ray Harrington joins us this week, which means y'all are in for a great time! Chuck starts out the episode by breaking his own rules about what is and isn't history in our lives. We briefly discuss the 1998 Godzilla film and Ray offers some suggestions on how to fix it. We discuss catheter usage versus diaper usage, then we get to our pitches. I then offer my take on the classic franchise. Ray follows with several fantastic ideas, then Chuck steps up. It is something that could truly only come from the twisted mind of Chuck Staton.

#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!

#464 - Video Podcast Woes, Chuck's Dental Dilemma, and The Beastie Boys Documentary

Hello Chubies! We start this week out by talking about some of the issues facing us as we dip our disgusting toes into the world of video podcasting. Our pal Ray Harrington joins us and gently teases us about how this is the THIRD "first video episode" we've done. From there Chuck talks about some dental issues he's noticing during this time of quarantine and you'd better believe we get sidetracked on this one! We then get to news about the writer of Ant-Man 3 and the Spike Jonze-directed Beastie Boys documentary coming to Apple TV. Chuck tells us (and you) about the very good Mick Mazz 80's covers on YouTube, as well as a recent episode of Pete Holmes' podcast that he loves. Chuck talks about the movie "Crawl," then I mention "Us," "Blinded By The Light," and "Yesterday," all of which I watched over the weekend. We talk about HBO Max and how excited we are for the possibilities. We also joke about Chuck's teeth some more.
