#414 (REMASTERED) - Blockbuster Culture, Delicious Burgers, and How Would We Do In Prison?

**This episode has been remastered. The first upload had subpar quality for the ads during the ad swap game, and that has been fixed!**
We are joined this week by Dylan the Intern, which is always a blast. After we plug our upcoming shows, we discuss blockbuster culture and how that affects the future (and present) of cinema. Once we finish up there, we sing the praises of RI Food Fights' Big Burger Blowout. We review the Boundary Brewhouse, The Hungry Goat's Kitchen, and Bucktown. Chuck brags about us finishing the game Rescue Rangers (originally for the NES) this afternoon. Chuck explains the Netflix show "Jailbirds" to me and I am fascinated. We also continue to play the "Ad Swap" game with other podcasts and it remains a ton of fun.

#397 - Into The Spider-Verse, The Big Short, and Brad's Awkward Date

Just us this week! We start out by talking about the new headset microphones we used on some recent episodes - did you notice a difference? After that, we (finally) break down the recent movie "Into The Spider-Verse" and wax enthusiastic about it. We discuss a local restaurant, then talk about the movie The Big Short. Chuck tells me about the Beatles' movie Help!, then we recap our experience emceeing the 7th Annual RI Food Fights Spectacular Cookie Smackdown! We talk a little bit about my Twitter account and the rules I have set up for my life, then talk about an awkward date I recently had.

#361 - Cupcake Championship, The Grand Tasting, and Avengers: Infinity War

We are joined this week by our friends Michayla Currie and Gina Mastrostefano. The four of us talk some music driplets - there's a new song out (and album forthcoming) from The Interrupters, and friend of the podcast Casey Jost has a new single AND album out! Wow! We then talk about the RI Food Fights Cupcake Championship and share our thoughts on the delicious cupcakes we ate there. Michayla tells us about going to the birthday brunch for the Instagram account "Buns and Bites" and we make many jokes. From there, Chuck and Gina talk about their experience with the new menu at Xaco Taco, then tell me about Eat Drink RI's Grand Tasting and tell me about the fancy food they ate. Once all the food talk is done, we break into a SPOILER-FREE review of Avengers: Infinity War. And once we've finished that, we have a clear separation, then launch into a SPOILER-FULL review of Avengers: Infinity War. It's a fun conversation!
