#531 - The Jackass Forever Trailer, Loki - Season 1, and Black Widow

We kick things off this week with some listener mail! Specifically, the emails we answered last week but had to cut out of a pretty-lengthy recording session! You know what that means - BONUS RAY HARRINGTON! WOO! Chuck and I then wax ecstatic about the trailer for Jackass Forever. We talk about our relationship with Jackass over the past twenty-two(?) years. We then offer our spoiler-free thoughts on the season of Loki on Disney Plus, then our spoiler-free thoughts on Black Widow. We then make it very clear that we are going into spoiler territory and talk about Black Widow, then close out with our spoiler-ful takes on Loki. Whew! - Brad

#508 - Chuck's New Hampshire Weekend, Jackass 4 Drama, and WandaVision

Chuck went away for the weekend and now he's back! We offer up some Armie Hammer jokes, then read some listener emails. Chuck admits he sometimes confuses history and television and I am appalled. He tells me about his Curb Your Enthusiasm-style encounter with a local bakery, then some minor complaints about another situation. He then regales me with the entire story of his Gina's Birthday/Valentine's weekend in New Hampshire. Delicious restaurants, cool coffee shops, a fun antique store, a perilous bridge...solid weekend! From there, we discuss Bam Margera's recent Instagram stories cursing the cast and crew of Jackass 4 and what it means for Bam (and the movie). After that, we get into WandaVision theories so our guesses will be on the record when the show ends! How will it end, and how will Chuck assimilate this show into what he perceives as "history?"

Episode 339: Jackass: The Game, A Chuck-Posal for Brad, and Thor: Ragnarok

We're back, baby! Our first Non-Halloween episode in a while! We also have a Lego (compatible) Giveaway! Oh papa! We read some listener emails and discuss "Jackass: The Game." We talk about the below Web Couliers and I admit to being frightened of a pretty bad old horror movie. Chuck reads a press release for an alternative to Rhode Island Comic-Con and we talk about the weird world of receiving press releases and how we treat them. We talk about the possibility of Marvel acquiring some film rights from 20th Century Fox and what that would mean for the MCU. Chuck gives an in-hand review of MoviePass (mine has been ordered) and we talk about the future for the service.
Chuck gets real for a moment and talks about a big switch he's making in terms of careers and creativity and I lament my diametrically-opposite work situation. We talk about being accepted to submit jokes through the Pitch app (and make a legally binding agreement to submit more often). Chuck offers some "Chuck-posals" for next year's Halloween podcasts. Chuck then tells me about his recent trip to New Hampshire with Gina's family. I tell the story of my not-great improv workshop experience, then about seeing Taylor Leonhardt at a house show over the weekend. We then give our SPOILER-FREE review of Thor: Ragnarok. Once we've completed that, we offer our spoiler-full review as well. But if you haven't seen the movie, we make it very clear where the change occurs, so feel free to listen!

Episode 326: Nazis, MoviePass, and We Get An NES Classic

In the wake of recent national news, Chuck and I start off this week by talking about Nazis and offer our official podcast stance on the subject. We talk more about the idea of racism in general and how we can help the country become a better place. I also swear in this segment (several times!). We then move on to a listener email, then ease into somewhat lighter fare with some news about the history of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Batfleck, and Gremlins 3. Chuck tells me about the new project from Jeff Tremaine and Patrick O'Dell, then we talk about the MoviePass service. For ten bucks a month, you can see one movie per day. What do we think? We then talk about the NES Classic and are finally able to give a hands-on review of the system. Chuck tells me about a recent trip to the restaurant Los Andes, then savagely and brutally picks apart my personality re: food (and life). We finish up by talking about our recent trips to see WWE wrestling live this week and talk about how much fun we had.

Episode 311: Jeff Tremaine and Patrick O'Dell Talk 'Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine'

Chuck and I went to Tribeca Film Festival to interview Patrick O'Dell and Jeff Tremaine. Patrick is the director of the forthcoming documentary "Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine," (and Big Brother Magazine was the precursor to "Jackass.") Jeff Tremaine produced the documentary and was also editor of the magazine (and co-creator/director of "Jackass.") Before we get into the interview, though, Chuck and I tell the story of our trip to New York and the exciting, surreal experiences we had doing the interview and going to the movie's premiere. If you like skateboarding, documentaries, or pranks, check out the interview!
