Episode 289: The Shining, Halloween Activities, and The Interrupters

Chuck and I dive right into talk about some stuff we did the week of Halloween. Chuck went to see "The Shining" in theaters and we break it down. He also watched the documentary Room 237 and we break THAT down. I know it's not cool to say about our own podcast, but I really enjoyed this conversation. Chuck relays tales from his exciting weekend to me, we talk about our trip to Boston to see WWE Hell in a Cell (in costume)!
We talk about Chuck's band Senior Discount opening for Strung Out, Hannibal Burress' new podcast, and the treasure trove of pop culture that arrived in mid-October: the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 teaser, the Nintendo Switch announcement, the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, the new Blink-182 video, and the trailer for Logan. Whoa mama! We also chat about some recent very entertaining issues of Spider-Man and Deadpool
We close this week by reviewing the recent show by The Interrupters at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. Also a fun conversation! I'm full of myself!

Episode 271: Summer Playlists, Blink-182, and Independence Weekends

Who's ready for summer?! Chuck is, and proves it, by rolling through his "summer daytime" playlist to start off this episode. Fun fact: there are a lot of daytime summer songs. We talk about the below Web Couliers, then hash out the exciting news that Red Dead Redemption will be backward compatible for the Xbox One. We review the new Blink-182 album and discuss why Blink has stuck around for so long when other bands have....uh....not. Did you know Chuck and I actually spent the weekend apart? And that we didn't talk about what we did until on the podcast? Chuck recaps his fun American weekend with friends and family and I talk about barely beating a six year-old in a mile race! That feat having been properly feted, Chuck reveals the secret of a good summer playlist - have a second one for summer nights! He reviews this one and we sign off!

Episode 249: Mostly About Deadpool

The 249th episode starts with some typical Chuck and Brad updates, then the guys finally address an email they received in early January. They discuss the film "The Babysitters" and the critical ratings thereof. They also throw in some chatter about the below Web Couliers before diving into some media driplets. The gabbers gab about Daniel Bryan's retirement from WWE, news about a possible Saw 8, and some exciting backward compatibility news about Left 4 Dead 2 and Red Dead Redemption - two faves from the Xbox 360 console.
After that, the Deadpool stuff begins. They talk about the origin of the character in the comics, their first encounters with the Merc with a Mouth, and what storylines of his they've enjoyed through the years. They also give their impressions of the new Deadpool movie and consider other actors that could have played the part of Deadpool.
Then Brad brings in one final email and surprises Chuck.
