Episode 259: Simon & Garfunkel, Ridiculous Emails, and Our Stand-Up Show

We welcome Gina into the studio for episode 259. After some Chuck and Brad updates, we briefly talk about the Web Coulier listed below. From there, Chuck provides movie driplets about the new Hannibal Burress documentary, as well as Mick Foley's upcoming show on the WWE Network. After that, we learn about the resurgence in popularity of the Simon & Garfunkel song "The Sound of Silence" due to its use in a meme.
The guys talk about an upcoming zombie video game, then Chuck surprises me by asking Gina to read an old email I wrote to a bunch of friends. And yes, I assume they are making fun of me (and react like it), but come around when I realize we're all in on the joke. (Proof that I am capable of admitting when I'm wrong!) Chuck then has Gina read a list of strange/wonderful things he has said before digging into his own archives to provide more ridiculousness for a new and yet unnamed segment, revolving around old quotes and things we've written in the past.
I talk about some recent improv shows, then we offer a quick spoiler-free review of the new first-person action movie Hardcore Henry. We close by reviewing our most recent (and third ever) stand-up show at the Comedy Connection.

Episode 207: Reboot Culture, Guitar Hero Live, and Guilty Pleasures

Episode 207 features New Podcast Pal Nick Mendillo joining Chuck and Brad. The three talk about Nick's background in music and comedy before getting into the plugs for upcoming shows. They talk about the "feminism" Web Coulier below, which segues into a discussion about appropriate language. Speaking of appropriate, have you heard about the "Horny Mom" story from Georgia? Now you have!
Chuck's movie driplets this week include discussion about the Scream TV show, and the casting of Olivia Munn as Psylocke in "X-Men: Apocalypse." We also learn that Mick Foley is going to have a stand-up special produced for the WWE Network, and test the "Find My Phone" function in Google.
Nick brings a little science to the podcast as the guys talk about artificial intelligence. The topic is quickly dismissed, although Brad's robotic personality forces him to suck up to our future overlords a little. Chuck gives a quick review of the movie "Top Five," then Chuck and Brad talk about their trip to the Southcoast Toy & Comic-Con, then Marc Maron's recent appearance in Boston. Chuck talks about Senior Discount playing with Beebs and Her Moneymakers and the fun that was had during that show.
The three guys talk about the just-announced "Guitar Hero Live" game and music games in general. They forecast the game's (and peripheral's) popularity. Chuck talks about a dilemma he's been having with technology and seeks advice. The final topic the idea of "Guilty Pleasures." What do these three fellows like that society wants them to be ashamed of?

Episode 120: This Is The End, Man of Steel, Dan Soder, and Mick Foley

Episode 120 features the wonderful and multicolor-coiffed Cindy Montville joining Chuck and Brad! After some Senior Discount updates - including TWO show announcements! - and a discussion of the below Web Couliers, C&B dive into some live events they've recently attended. They discuss rising comedic star Dan Soder's set at Nick's Comedy Stop in Boston and review it thoroughly. Once that is done, the boyz can invite Cindy to join the discussion about recent movie "This Is The End." How do they feel about the comedic vehicle starring podcast fans James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, and Jonah Hill?
Once that is done, they talk about Mick Foley's recent show in Fairhaven, and how the Hardcore Legend/New York Times bestselling author is an entertaining storyteller in person. Brad laments not making more of an impression while in line for Mick's autograph. Finally, the three pals talk about the new Superman film "Man of Steel." (Note: Brad almost kills Chuck during this segment, I believe. Unintentionally.) They discuss the burdens of films that have to tell origin stories and how this movie raises the bar for fight scenes in superhero movies. A very fun podcast, brought to you by the good people at America Online.

Episode 111: Jurassic Park, Green Day, and our heroes' pasts

This week's episode of the Chuck and Brad podcast finds Chuck and Brad joined by local roustabout Mat Fairchild. The three open the conversation by discussion past incidents of "pantsing," both as pantsers and pantsees. Chuck gives a Senior Discount update and a Web Coulier, listed below. After Brad waxes enthusiastic about the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde, the boys discuss creative ventures in various stages of development.
Chuck brings some news driplets to the table - Comic Book Men, the Bad Boys 3 announcement, and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. After that, the meat of the podcast has teeth sunken into it [Editor: There has to be a better way to word that, you idiots.] They discuss a recent trip to see Jurassic Park in 3-D IMAX. Much merriment is made at Brad's expense. Once the raptor calls die down, Chuck and Brad talk about their recent experiences involving Green Day - seeing the band perform live in Providence and watching the recent Cuatro! documentary from the band.
Chuck then brags about some videogame accomplishments that are literally so astounding they can not be put to print. He then talks about the recent movie Spring Breakers and gives his thoughts on the film. All three of the hosts this week talk about their first encounters with illicit substances, then the conversation turns back to popular culture, as Chuck and Brad talk about the Mick Foley and CM Punk DVD's. The conversation ends with an in-depth discussion of the plotline of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the upcoming X-Men movie.
