#488 - Halloween 2020

We are joined by Ray Harrington this week! The self-proclaimed "Great Pumpkin" of comedy joins us for our yearly Chuck and Brad Podcast Halloween episode! We discuss some of the challenges that come with a pandemic Halloween. Chuck talks about the film Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark, then we discuss the new Adam Sandler film Hubie Halloween. Chuck and I offer some paltry Rejected Halloween Costumes (our worst ever), then Ray joins in on the fun. I educate Chuck and Ray about the history of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and things go off the rails. We then (surprisingly) learn about Ray's love of the Ernest films. I pose a Would You Rather? to Chuck and Ray and - to their credit - they answer it. We then briefly discuss why we are so interested in things that scare us, culminating in Ray's note-perfect Australian accent.

#484 - Chuck's SmodCo Experience, Documentary Quality, and Letting Go Of Old Art

Just Chuck and I this week, but we have plenty of Smod Content for all the Ants who now love us (maybe?)! We talk about Song Exploder and the trailers for WandaVision and Console Wars (with a slight tangent to the Cola Wars of the 80's). We get psyched for the Scott Pilgrim game re-release and express concerns and joy about the Adam Sandler film "Hubie Halloween." Chuck tells me about the documentary "Class Action Park" and its quality. We then discuss Pretending I'm A Superman, a documentary about the history of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, as well as Happy Happy Joy Joy, a documentary about Ren and Stimpy.
We discuss the re-release of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 for current gen systems and briefly mention the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection. Chuck tells me about Being John Malkovich, which somehow gets us to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal.
Chuck then regales me with the tale of his recent trip to Jersey. Filming for Jay and Silent Bob Get Old, eating at Mooby's, hanging at Smodcastle - fun stuff across the board! Following that, we talk about art from our past that we created that we are now ashamed of and question what to do with it.
