Episode 333: Nathan For You Returns, Social Issues, and Improv Fest Recap

We start this week by griping about our days, before Chuck plugs his Tell 'Em Steve-Dave project one last time. After that, it's listener emails, with discussions about Milkshake Duck and a cool fan-made trailer (linked below). We then discuss the upcoming Kumail Nanjiani/John Cena movie before talking about the "Pitch" app. That leads into a discussion about how much I care about online support (greatly) and whether or not I should (nope). We then talk about the social issues dominating the news cycle over the past week. Anthems, flags, police brutality, disagreements, etc. After that, I give a recap of the recent Providence Improv Fest, then Chuck and I talk about the preparations for an upcoming event.

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.

Episode 250 FIXED: Asinine Repartee, Laura Jane Grace, and Deconstructing Deadpool

*NOTE: WE PUBLISHED THE WRONG EPISODE ORIGINALLY FOR EP 250 (A RE-POST OF LAST WEEK, EP 249). BRAD HAS BEEN KILLED TO PREVENT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. HERE IS THE RIGHT EPISODE!*
Episode 250 starts with the guys already off on a tangent - and as far as tangents go, this one was a lot of fun. After they get back into normal updates about upcoming events, they chat about the below Web Couliers. From there, Chuck provides some movie driplets about Kurt Russell in the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie, possible R Ratings for some future Fox films, and Hannibal Burress joining a very mainstream project.
After that, Chuck shares a story of personal triumph that will inspire generations to come regarding his success and the "Earthworm Jim" game. There's a smooth, obvious transition to a review of the recent Laura Jane Grace show in Providence. Was it amazing? If so, how amazing was it?
For the second episode in a row, the guys spend a lot of time talking about the success of the new Deadpool movie. How did it get so big? What does that mean for the movie industry? What new intellectual property did Brad come up with? Super fun episode this week!

Episode 248: Spy, Knock Knock, and Joke Stealing

Brad botches the opening of episode 248, then botches it again. Hilarity.
After some Brad and S*D updates, the guys talk about their next appearance at the Comedy Connection, coming soon! The guys talk about the below Web Coulier and some other trailers they've loved before Chuck delivers a movie driplet about a space comedy starring podcast favorites Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, and Zack Galifianakis. Sounds awesome! Speaking of movies, the guys recently watched a few - the first, last year's "Spy," is a Paul Feig comedy starring Melissa McCarthy. How much did C&B love it? The second, last year's "Knock Knock," is an Eli Roth thriller starring Melissa McCarthy. How much did C&B love THAT? (Less.)
The rest of the episode concerns the recent allegations that Amy Schumer has stolen jokes. Chuck and Brad don't buy it, and talk about why. They also talk about some jokes of their own that have seeped into pop culture, and about the current comedy landscape that is rife for plunder. Comedy plunder.
