#462 - Onward, Comfort Viewing, and The Joy Of Being Early Adopters

We filmed this week! And we're joined (via satellite?) by our good pal, comedian/documentarian Ray Harrington! We riff on Chuck's now-constant use of "Sopranos" references as he makes his way through the series. A listener email spurs me to share my thoughts on The Gaslight Anthem, and we all discuss how we feel about liking things that then suddenly get super popular and why we feel that way. We debut our new segment "Quaranteeny Victories" - small things we accomplished because of the lockdown. Chuck offers an apology for a technical snafu on the last two podcasts, then tells us about the Roast of Rich Vos available on YouTube. He also explains Project 88 - Back to the Future Too. We discuss our feelings about the Disney/Pixar film Onward, as well as some Jack Black projects. We discuss the idea of "comfort food" media and name some examples from our own lives. Chuck closes the podcast with a report of an adorable squabble with his girlfriend Gina. It's a very fun conversation!

#461 - Listener Questions, Tiger King, and a Surprising Friday The 13th Tale

Prior to this week's recording, we went Live on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to solicit questions from our faithful (and attractive!) listeners. We discuss working from home and how that has affected me. We talk about this year's Wrestlemania situation - empty arenas and changed cards! We talk about new releases from Pearl Jam, Suicide Machines, and Brian Fallon. We discuss the future of Marvel movies and Chuck offers his thoughts on his watch-through of Sopranos. We discuss the upcoming (unconfirmed?) Mario reboots for the Nintendo Switch, Dave Chapelle getting the Mark Twain prize earlier this year, and Chuck tells me about two paranormal experiences he's had. After that, we discuss the Netflix documentary series Tiger King and talk about the technical AND human aspects of this sensational series. And to close, I recap a bizarre book Chuck once gave me: Friday the 13th - Road Trip
