#516 - "Chuck-and-Brad" Con, IP Mash-Up Films, and Army of the Dead

The podcast starts out this week with me only pretending to be mad at Chuck about his timeliness affecting our weekend plans. Chuck then talks about getting hired by another big podcast to produce content for their Patreon and how it affects his journey to work in the creative field. We talk about our upcoming adventures on The Geek Boat and make some cosplay plans I'm not entirely comfortable with. We talk about the megadeal from Netflix for two Knives Out sequels. We discuss the trailer for Space Jam 2 and the idea of movies that combine intellectual properties in one film - is this a good practice? I talk about finding enjoyment watching a game streamer, then how I also watched several videos about faked speed runs, which just seems...it blows away the brain of Child Brad is all. Chuck talks about some delicious meals he had at nice restaurants in the area. We then close with a discussion about Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead and whether or not zombies should be fast.

#357 - John Poveromo, Android Auto, and Ready Player One

Wow! A fun one! We kick things off with a Skype interview with our new friend, stand-up comedian John Poveromo. John's performing in Newport, RI this weekend and we talk with him about his career in stand-up, his book, and Chuck provides him restaurant recommendations for the area. After that, we talk with our pal Lou Perella (in-studio) about the resolution of Chuck's Best Buy problems from last month. Chuck enlightens us on the glory and wonder that is "Android Auto" (in his new car stereo system). We talk about the documentary 'A Fat Wreck' (available on Amazon) and 'The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling' documentary (available on HBO). After that, we offer our spoiler-free thoughts on Ready Player One (the movie and the book), then make it very clear that we're switching to our spoiler-full thoughts about both (we spoil more of the movie than the book, though).
