#493 - Chuck Gets Blackmailed, The Greatest Showman, and Weirdos At Thanksgiving

Chuck and I are back! We start out with an update on the latest video Chuck completed for Tell Em Steve-Dave and Chuck is PSYCHED about it. I talk about my progress in sitcom class, then we read an email from a listener Down Under! It's only slightly injurious to my pride! Chuck tells me about the WNUF Halloween Special, then we talk about the 2020 release of The Invisible Man. Chuck tells me about his Halloween celebration, which concluded with him watching the documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door. We segue into some COVID talk and speculate about the vaccine giving me superpowers. Judd Apatow has a movie going straight to streaming, and there's a podcast documentary series coming soon about David Cross. We talk about the Darkwing Duck reboot, then things take a dark turn. Chuck is being blackmailed by a scammer! Will we all soon receive videos of Chuck's private moments? Things turn back around as Chuck gushes about his recent watch of The Greatest Showman, then we talk about The Prestige. And our final topic of the evening concerns Thanksgiving - should you invite strangers to your meal (in normal years) and if so, what is the correct ratio of weirdos to your normal group?

#437 - The 2019 Turtle Hunt

Every autumn, Chuck and I scour local (and not-so-local) comic and collectible stores to track down our white whales - two of the Universal Movie Monster/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover figures. This is the seventh year we've undertaken the quixotic quest, and the FIRST time we've recorded our chatter in the car DURING the trip! We visit the RI/MA chains The Time Capsule and the Toy Vault, as well as That's Entertainment (Worcester MA), Bargain City Flea (Cumberland RI), Midway Antiques (Johnston RI), and Joff's Backyard Grill (Bellingham MA). We are joined by Lou Perella as we discuss the quest itself, my distaste for grime, our feelings on collectibles and growing up, as well as delicious hot dogs smothered in pulled pork and grated cheese. Chuck and I also bicker about leaving each other's car dirty! Classic banter! Enjoy this very special episode!
