#432 - Eric Andre, Battle At Big Rock, and Disney Plus

Hello Chu-bies! After we dip into Chuck's Work Woes (part seven in a series of infinity), we somehow get on the topic of Rip Van Winkle - we try (and fail) to remember the story, then try (and fail) to glean meaning from it. Chuck tells me about all the shows and movies coming to Disney Plus this fall and we try (and fail) to remember the plot of the movie "Camp Nowhere." We talk about the Jurassic World short film "Battle At Big Rock" and how it ties into the Jurassic-verse. We discuss the film Eighth Grade and Chuck tells me about a new (to him) restaurant in town. We briefly talk about Chuck's articles on veganism, then he tells me about a cool magazine party he went to. I discuss how I tried (and failed) to get tickets to an event I was super excited about, then tell him all about last week's Providence Improv Fest. We close with Chuck describing the Eric Andre live show he went to over this past weekend - sounded great!

#367: Snob Vs Cob: Jurassic World

We are joined this week by stand-up comedian Ray Harrington! After some plugs for our show this Thursday, Ray and I get on the topic of the Bill & Ted films, and our shared affection for them. And with the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom this week, Chuck and Ray discuss their feelings on the first one, as well as why they felt that way. They discuss screenwriting, metaphor, the scariness of dinosaurs, and I get to bask in the hilarity of their conversation. We finally get to a point where we're wrapping up the show, and then remember to discuss the online harassment/bullying Chuck experience this week and what an appropriate response to it would be.

Episode 320: Venom in the MCU, the SNES Classic, and Zoobilee 2017

Back in the studio again this week! Chuck and I talk about the new Jurassic World movie and wildly speculate about the plot. We then speculate about the plot of "Jigsaw," the new film in the "Saw" franchise. We then turn our attention to the news that the status of Venom in relation to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and continue our wild speculation about whether our symbiotic pal will make the leap to the MCU and how that could work. From there, we talk about the SNES Classic and whether or not it is worth a purchase. I defend the 16-bit game "Bubsy." We talk about our recent few weeks, including Senior Discount's show with the Toasters, an extended behind-the-scenes (from our points of view) of the Reel Big Fish interview(s). Chuck and Gina relate the story of Roger Williams' Zoobilee 2017 to me - Zoobilee being an annual fundraiser for the Roger Williams Zoo that features food from dozens of Providence restaurants and also Chuck messing up the mojo of the on-site band. We finish with a new segment that we brainstorm on the podcast and have fun doing so. Fun week!

Episode 217: Appropriate Comedy, Feminism in Jurassic World, and E3 Views

The 217th installment slides into your brain or something this week. After some updates on upcoming shows, the guys discuss the below Web Couliers; well, at least one of them at this time. Chuck provides some movie driplets about the second Guardians of the Galaxy and the second season of Netflix's Daredevil. He throws in an odd story about Jared Leto's Joker from the upcoming Suicide Squad film as well. There's some discussion around The Last of Us 2 for PS4, then the recently announced JK Rowling-written Harry Potter play.
Chuck brings up an article he recently read concerning Amy Schumer's jokes about race. This leads to a deep discussion about what is appropriate in the world of comedy. Many jokes are made. After that, Chuck - who has a masochistic streak to his reading material - brings in another article concerning the allegedly anti-feminist messages of Jurassic World. Given one of the tags for this week's episode is "poor journalism," guess how the guys feel about the author's supposed points?
A few smaller topics follow - a fake plane crash prank done to Paris Hilton divides the guys, and Chuck tries to relay his joy at the Bad Boy reunion on the recent BET Awards. C&B talk about the new Pixar movie "Inside Out" and discuss their enjoyment levels thereof, then close the show by talking about their feelings on the Electronics Entertainment Expo announcements. If you are the guy who sat in front of Brad at the Sony thing, I am sorry I kicked your chair, but still think you're kind of a narrow-minded buffoon.

Episode 144: Movie licensing, Music Festivals, the WWE Network, and the Wii U

Chuck and Brad kick off episode 144 with talk about their new diets and the progress so far - not just physically, but in terms of how eating light impacts their masculinity and self-worth. After some quick Senior Discount updates, Chuck offers a few movie driplets - a Naked Gun reboot, a new TV show from two comedians we love, Jurassic World casting news, Clerks 3 casting news, and hints about the new show Gotham.
From there, Chuck and Braddo talk about the character Quicksilver, and his upcoming appearance in two very separate movies owned by Fox and by Disney (the second "Avengers" movie and the fifth "X-Men" outing). Our two protagonists are baffled as to how this can be. Chuck then relates the tale of Tenacious D's "Festival Supreme" from this past autumn - Chuck and Brad are "wicked jealous" they didn't get to attend. The WWE Network is then discussed and dissected - how do Brad and Chuck feel? Finally, the boyz lament the Wii U and its negative sales forecast. Will Nintendo go the way of Sega to focus on software?
