#372: Guardians of James Gunn, Venom, and Motorcycle Ponderings

We offer some Chuck and Brad updates, then somehow get talking about Airborne tablets as well as speculating on how much vitamin C is in Hawaiian Punch. We eventually figure that out, then move onto some movie driplets. We talk about Joss Whedon not knowing what to do with Thanos, as well as the merger between Disney and 20th Century Fox. We discuss the Venom movie at length, then chat about the Guardians of the Galaxy cast's statement about the firing of James Gunn from Volume 3. After that, Chuck tells me about a new amazing restaurant in Providence, then we discuss the safety of motorcycles and how that impacts the world.

Episode 268: Appropriate (Social) Revenge, Popstar, and X-Men: Apocalypse

We begin this episode (after some normal plugs) by talking about the recent tragedy in Orlando and sharing our thoughts and confusion (mostly confusion). After that, the mood lightens somewhat as Chuck and I discuss the actions of my friend on a bad date, and whether her behavior equaled or exceeded her date's lateness. Please don't let her listen to this episode. We talk a little bit about movie news involving Donald Glover being cast in the new Spider-Man movie, as well as the announcement for Curb Your Enthusiasm season 9. We talk about the new Tim Armstrong record and the new Interrupters single.
After that, it's on to E3 for a while. Remember when we used to be super excited about E3? Good times. In any event, Dead Rising 4 is going to be a Christmas Zombie game, and Chuck's glee is palpable. Chuck then talks about his recent trip to see an episode of Hollywood Babble-On, as well as a productive comic shopping expedition.
From there, it's all about comedy for a while, as we compare and contrast Documentary Now, Lady Dynamite, Neighbors, Neighbors 2, and Popstar. We love Popstar. I talk about going to see Warcraft, then we close the episode discussing X-Men: Apocalypse.

The guys move on to talk about another new movie - X-Men: Days of Future Past.

You're welcome, Stan Lee.

Their trip to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was this past weekend - how did they like it? What did they think about it? What were their opinions? Find out the answers to these and many other questions as they discuss the film, first going spoiler-free and then going spoiler-ful for more than the twelve minutes they promise.
A rare planned ranking exercise finds C&B chatting about their favorite superhero movies of the relatively recent past. Which films line up? Which films differ wildly? And what takes home the top spot for each of our heroes? Just...just listen to this week's episode. I'm trying to write a teaser that hints a little bit at the content without giving too much away.
