#457 - MTV VJs, Birds of Prey, the Tony Hawk doc, and What Is Our Podcast?

We begin as so many podcasts should - dissecting Chuck's hatred of former MTV News Anchor Kurt. Even thinking about it now, I'm a little confused as to how we got there. After spending a fair amount of time discussing MTV and its culture, we talk about an exciting ska/punk tour coming to the area this summer. We talk about the photos of the new Batmobile, then Chuck offers me his (spoiler-free) review of Birds of Prey. We learn about a new documentary about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater as well as the new "Celebrity Escape Room" show. We discuss the Candyman trailer and I talk about my fear of the original film. We bask in the reflected glory of the Impractical Jokers movie succeeding at the box office, then discuss the new Morgan Spurlock documentary Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken. Speaking of which, we tried some new fast food items and talk about that (and get hilariously off-topic) before closing with a semi-serious discussion: what is our podcast?

Episode 127: Band Documentaries, Modern Relationships, and a Review of the Live Podcast

The episode starts with Brad bumming us all out by talking about how he's been incredibly depressed lately. Cheer up, Brad. Eat a KitKat or something. Senior Discount updates follow, with the teaser of bigger announcements to follow soon. The below Web Coulier is talked about, and listener mail is answered.
Chuck brings some Movie Driplets to the table - 12 Monkeys as a TV show, a new movie from the director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Amy Schumer getting a movie deal. The boys talk about the upcoming Green Day documentary Broadway Idiot, and then have a long discussion about the upcoming documentary about the band Leftover Crack.
Switching both genres and media, C&B chat about the news that Aziz Ansari will be writing a relationship book, and share some of their modern relationship woes. In addition, Chuck shares the sad story of the mobile game that was downloaded 50,000 times...and paid for a mere 144 times.
Chuck then offers a new segment, tastefully and creatively titled "Shut the Fuck Up," in which he discusses gripes people have and tells those people what he thinks of their opinions. (It involves them shutting the fuck up.)
This episode closes with a review of the live podcast (episode 126, coming soon to video), and a discussion about the work that went into it, the pride felt by our handsome hosts, and whether or not we're planning another one.
