#528 - Chuck Goes to the ER, Brad Goes to Indiana, and Smodcastle Opens!

After a disgusting discovery about our spam filter, we jump right into the past few weeks of adventures. Chuck tells me about his trip to New Hampshire and we debate the merits of floating in tubes down a very slow river. I talk about my trip back to Indiana and time spent with the family. Chuck tells me about his mystery ailment and the efforts he made to get it diagnosed. He also reveals his ableist side! From there, I learn about Chuck's time in New Jersey over the weekend, doing filming for a ton of show's at Kevin Smith's new Smodcastle! Also filming with the TESD guys! Wow!

#477 - Our Trip To New Hampshire (and BONUS CONTENT from Jersey!)

This is an unusual episode! Comedian Robert Kelly kicks off the show with a plug for his upcoming show at the Comedy Connection in East Providence, RI. But then, recorded while in transit from New Hampshire back to the friendly confines of Rhode Island, this episode features longtime pal Katy Johnson. We talk about our trip to New Hampshire - how did we stay safe, what restaurants did we eat at, what natural wonders awed and wowed us, how many things did Katy and Chuck bicker about? Important stuff like that! Learn how I feel about surrendering control to a river's current! And don't forget the BONUS CONTENT recorded in Jersey, as Chuck calls me in the middle of my workday to tell me about his hellacious Holiday Inn experience!

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!
