#455 - Spiral, McMillions, and Parasite

We are joined this week by Tony Pacitti and Matt Ferrara, co-hosts of the podcast What Did We Miss? We discuss their podcast for a while and talk about their inspirations and I try to recruit them as juggalos. For some reason, they pass on the opportunity. After that, we talk about the trailer for the upcoming movie "Spiral." Will it be a reboot of Saw? A sequel? A parallel movie? We speculate on all the possibilities! From there, the four of us talk about the ongoing HBO documentary series "McMillion$" and offer our feelings about what we've seen so far. And after a minor tangent or two, we dive into a discussion about the movie Parasite. How did we feel about the academy award-winning film?

#454 - Deja Blues, Fast and Furious 9 Trailer, Kevin Smith, and The California Raisins

Chuck and I are back, and we've both had BAD DAYS! GRRRRRRRR!!! We talk about that, then decide to have a fun podcast to replace those bad feelings. We discuss The Fast and Furious 9 trailer and try to figure out how much our podcast of two weeks ago affected the casting and writing of a movie that's been done for weeks. We finish that and discuss our recent trip to see Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" Roadshow in Providence. Once we finish that, we kick off our new segment "The Rohrer You Know" and I teach Chuck the history of The California Raisins!

#436 - Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Stephen King and Joe Hill, and Happy Death Day

Live in studio this week is our pal Lou Perella! We talk about the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot showings and Chuck waxes nostalgic about Kevin Smith. After that, we discuss the Stephen King & Joe Hill talk that Chuck and I went to last week, as well as the delicious meals we had surrounding it (and yes, maybe we touch on my shrieking fit at Chuck in the car on the way to the event). Chuck tells me about the movie "Us," and I talk about the (first?) two movies in the Happy Death Day saga. We briefly touch on another movie we recently saw, then gush about the talent on display at the Roger Williams Zoo Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular. Chuck talks about some autumn hikes he's recently taken, then we close with a talk about rooting for artists both personally and professionally.

#426 - The Lion King, Chuck Visits Jersey, and Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood

The lovely and talented Gina Mastrostefano joins us this week! We discuss what our fans should be named and can't come up with much. From there, we talk about The Lion King (2019) and live-action storytelling of animated films in general. Chuck tells me all about their weekends in New Jersey and how they made him feel creatively. We talk about what foods are appropriate to bring into a movie theater, then get into the main event. We offer a spoiler-free review of the new Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood. After we share our thoughts thusly, we make it clear we're going into spoiler territory and then more fully discuss the film.br> - Brad

Episode 328: The Story of Ray Harrington

This is one of my favorite episodes ever. We are joined by Ray Harrington - comedian, documentarian, good human. We talk about his new album "Overwhelmed," about his documentary "Be A Man," and about his story - how he got started with comedy, what led him to stand-up, and so many other fun and funny topics. It was a great time recording this episode, and I think that will really translate to your listening experience.

Episode 264: A Discussion About Captain America: Civil War

We finally get to talk about Captain America: Civil War! And who better to talk about it with than our pal Justin Marra. After some project plugs, we talk about the emails we received this week (including a web coulier below). From there it's a natural progression to some movie driplets, including a possible Ocean's 11 remake and rumors about the Fantastic Four sequel. Chuck talks about a beloved local retailer closing, we talk about the newest Fat Wreck Chords comp, then we are legally bound to discuss the first successful penis transplant.
After that, it's a quick spoiler-free review of the movie, then we commence with an in-depth discussion on the film's strengths and perceived weaknesses. We even find time to define "insurgent." Also, there was no legal binding about the penis thing. Just so you know.

Episode 207: Reboot Culture, Guitar Hero Live, and Guilty Pleasures

Episode 207 features New Podcast Pal Nick Mendillo joining Chuck and Brad. The three talk about Nick's background in music and comedy before getting into the plugs for upcoming shows. They talk about the "feminism" Web Coulier below, which segues into a discussion about appropriate language. Speaking of appropriate, have you heard about the "Horny Mom" story from Georgia? Now you have!
Chuck's movie driplets this week include discussion about the Scream TV show, and the casting of Olivia Munn as Psylocke in "X-Men: Apocalypse." We also learn that Mick Foley is going to have a stand-up special produced for the WWE Network, and test the "Find My Phone" function in Google.
Nick brings a little science to the podcast as the guys talk about artificial intelligence. The topic is quickly dismissed, although Brad's robotic personality forces him to suck up to our future overlords a little. Chuck gives a quick review of the movie "Top Five," then Chuck and Brad talk about their trip to the Southcoast Toy & Comic-Con, then Marc Maron's recent appearance in Boston. Chuck talks about Senior Discount playing with Beebs and Her Moneymakers and the fun that was had during that show.
The three guys talk about the just-announced "Guitar Hero Live" game and music games in general. They forecast the game's (and peripheral's) popularity. Chuck talks about a dilemma he's been having with technology and seeks advice. The final topic the idea of "Guilty Pleasures." What do these three fellows like that society wants them to be ashamed of?
