#397 - Into The Spider-Verse, The Big Short, and Brad's Awkward Date

Just us this week! We start out by talking about the new headset microphones we used on some recent episodes - did you notice a difference? After that, we (finally) break down the recent movie "Into The Spider-Verse" and wax enthusiastic about it. We discuss a local restaurant, then talk about the movie The Big Short. Chuck tells me about the Beatles' movie Help!, then we recap our experience emceeing the 7th Annual RI Food Fights Spectacular Cookie Smackdown! We talk a little bit about my Twitter account and the rules I have set up for my life, then talk about an awkward date I recently had.

Episode 299: Local Restaurants, Super Bowl Analysis, and Dead Rising 4

Another shorter episode to round out the week! After a quick plug for this weekend's Spectacular Cookie Smackdown, I relate a cute little story involving tech support for my dad. Chuck talks with me about a Fast and Furious Live show (I'm still confused), then we talk about some restaurants we've been to lately - how delicious were they? And would we talk about them if they weren't? Chuck talks about helping some friends move (my shoulder is still messed up!) and then we dive into a field of expertise: our Super Bowl experience. What did we think about the narrative of the game? Did Chuck's mom make great snacks for her party? Stuff like that! Chuck tosses in another restaurant mention, then we talk about the full experience of Dead Rising 4, including (at some point) spoilers for the end of the game. That's it for this week!

Episode 240 - Krampus, The Night Before, and Cookie Judging

Episode 240 starts out festively enough, with Brad reading a letter he received from Santa Claus. (NSFW) From there, C&B discuss the below Web Couliers before a movie driplet about the "Alien" universe. The guys recently went to see the R-rated Christmas Comedy The Night Before and share their thoughts on that, then talk about the Christmas horror film Krampus. Was Brad scared out of his mind?!?! (yes) Chuck talks about an expansion for the video game Dying Light, then talks about the (admittedly-dated) news that T-Mobile is offering video streaming that doesn't count against a data plan.
The guys shift into recap mode next - Chuck tells the story of the Benefit Show Creep, then provides an update on the situation involving his house fire aftermath. They talk about the new Disney/Pixar movie The Good Dinosaur, then a recent trip to see the acapella group Straight No Chaser.
The podcast closes with the guys gleefully talking about judging the RI Food Fights Spectacular Cookie Smackdown and how Brad almost got wasted.

Episode 231: Crossover Storytelling, Rock Band 4 Problems, and Further Festive Adventures

The 231st installment of this beloved podcast kicks off with Chuck and Brad updates. The guys talk about an email about a possible (?) parody video of a conspiracy or some such nonsense. Following that, they talk about the below Web Couliers, then Chuck dives into some Movie Driplets (safely). What's up with multiple versions of Quentin Tarantino's Hateful Eight? What are the plans for Die Hard 6 (and how do C&B feel about the films in the franchise)? And what's this I hear about two move Marvel properties possibly being made into TV shows?
The first "main topic" of the night is the distressing news about the release of Rock Band 4 for Xbox One - what's the deal, Harmonix? After that, the guys talk about a listener Vox regarding the crossovers between franchises and storylines. Is this a good thing? Is it a sign of the death of creativity?
After that thorough discussion, the manchildren (menchildren?) talk about the festive things they've done in the past week - Haunted History Tours, Teen Wolf, Pumpkin Carving, Salem, Decorating, The Scituate Art Fair, and It Follows! Wow! What a festive week!

Episode 229: The Story of RI Food Fights

This week's episode finds Chuck and Brad welcoming a guest into the 'studio,' as Jim Nellis of RI Food Fights joins the program. C&B talk with J about the thought process behind starting RI Food Fights. Did Jim have a background in food? Has it always been successful? Did Brad like the poutine he tried last night? The answer to one of these questions is "No!" Give a listen to the story behind a positive force in Rhode Island's thriving restaurant community!
