#468 - Chuck's Donut Hunt, Animated Dramas, and Blade Runner

We open with a brief dicussion of Chuck's current hillbilly-like status before updating his injury status from last week. He talks about his efforts to get a fancy French Dip sandwich this week as well as going on a Jelly Donut hunt for his grandfather's 95th birthday. I'm still not sure how this ended up with us talking about TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. We talk about Nick Swardson's appearance on Steve-O's podcast, then I bring up a book series I just finished and ask Chuck the question: why aren't there animated series aimed at adults? After we try and parse that out, I talk about finishing the game Dishonored 2 and using a walkthrough for most of it - should I feel ashamed? From there, we discuss me watching Blade Runner for the first time this weekend, then follow up with my thoughts on Blade Runner 2049. We talk a little bit about movies that make us cry and that becomes a discussion of songs and videos that elicit tears. Happy tears, I mean. The good kind.

Episode 180: Nick Swardson, Salem, Gratitude, and Marvel News

After the updates from the Providence Improv community and Senior Discount, Chuck regales Brad with some movie driplets - a possible re-visit to the Saw franchise, as well as updates to The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and a Fraggle Rock movie. Chuck then relates a comical misunderstanding online involving one of our good friends and some salacious items on a Wish List.
Chuck and Brad recently went with some pals to see Nick Swardson do stand-up. What did the group think of the show? Chuck talks about some other festive Halloween things they've done recently, then talks about a trip to Salem, MA, and a conflagration with his girlfriend. Brad tells Chuck about his trip to a Jasper Fforde reading/signing, then about his visit to Q Commons, a motivational inspirational lecture series that led to Brad creating a gratitude journal he calls a "brad-itude journal." Chuck thoughtfully considers what he is grateful for from the previous few days and the guyz realize that being thankful for things is good.
Chuck also relates the tale of an online joke that was deleted and expresses his displeasure with the delete-er. A few more news items close out the podcast - Iron Man in Captain America 3? HBO Go for streaming only? And a Marvel Comics Mega-Event that sounds amazing! Wow! Give us a listen!
