#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.

Episode 252: The Thrill of Pranking, Triple 9, and The Revenant

Brad manages to spit out the greeting without fouling it up this week and Chuck and Brad immediately discuss it. From there it's some Chuck and Brad updates before getting to the below Web Couliers. There is a tangent here. Maybe a tangent off of another tangent. Chuck provides some movie driplets about an R-rated cut for Batman v Superman as well as a sequel to "Surf's Up." Insanity. They discuss the recent accident involving Google's self-driving car before getting into some recaps of the past few weeks.
Chuck provides an update on the status of his house and possessions as recovery from the house fire continues, and Brad brings a little Christmas spirit into Chuck's life via a gift. The guys talk about their trip to DNB Burgers in New Bedford, Massachusetts, before recapping the open mic they performed at in February. Chuck recaps the recent Senior Discount show in Providence, then the guys review the new movie Triple 9. Was it an amazing cop drama? From there it's a brief discussion about moving friends Abe and Fawn into a new apartment, then a recap of Monday Night Raw and a review of new movie The Revenant? Okay...was THAT an amazing cop drama? They tease next week's episode before riding off into the sunset. Oh, and Chuck also has "donut burg" in his notes which both references a topic from the podcast AND the town he's elected himself mayor of.
