As Chuck gets set for an exciting road trip to Vermont, we talk about his recent editing workload for Tell 'Em Steve-Dave. We talk about the recent "dropkick" incident between Insane Clown Posse Member Shaggy 2 Dope and Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst. Yes, it's 2018 and this is in the news. We talk about the financials for the new Venom movie as well as Banksy's recent painting-shredding performance. Chuck explains The Umbrella Academy, a new show coming to Netflix, then the announcement of Fight Club 3 coming out next year as a graphic novel. We talk about James Gunn writing and directing the Suicide Squad sequel and how hyped we now are for that. I begin to tell Chuck a story about a weird coincidence I experienced this week and he tells me that it is not a coincidence and my week is ruined.

#351 - Streaming Music, The Venom Trailer, and Chuck vs. Best Buy

Once we promote our social media accounts and our upcoming shows, we get started with some listener emails! The concept of streaming music versus the concept of owning music, live streaming and the future of the internet, voice actors versus Hollywood actors for voice acting jobs, digital comics versus print comics, and stickers on fruit. We discuss them all with the expected amount of aplomb. From there, we talk about the Venom teaser trailer and our feelings on the movie, and Chuck gives me some exciting news about one of our favorite bands. We talk about cringeworthy things we've (I've) done in the name of love. We close with a story of Best Buy's terrible customer service toward Chuck and end on a cliffhanger - will Best Buy do the right thing, or will they expose themselves as a soulless corporation, incapable of empathy and therefore undeserving of fair treatment?

Chuck and Gina relate the story of Roger Williams' Zoobilee 2017 to me - Zoobilee being an annual fundraiser for the Roger Williams Zoo that features food from dozens of Providence restaurants and also Chuck messing up the mojo of the on-site band.
