#521 - Are We Too Kind To The MCU, Chuck Films With TWS, and Spiral

Chuck asks me how seriously he should take his "Best Chowder and Clam Cakes" article, which leads to a fun discussion about journalistic integrity. We discuss some listener emails regarding re-watching Tenet, my choice of cologne, and whether we are too lavish in our praise of the Marvel movies. We also discuss Chuck's Staples incident and clarify some points for another listener. We then discuss the new books from Seth Rogen and Andy Weir. We talk about some Adult Swim spin-offs and the three-film "Fear Street" series coming this summer. Chuck tells me about his trip to NYC to film with the Tuesdays With Stories guys. From there, we offer a spoiler-free review of "Spiral: From The Book Of Saw." We then make it VERY clear when we are going to start spoiling things before taking a deep dive into the film. Do you want to play a game?

Episode 329: Saying Goodbye to WBRU, The Belko Experiment and Rick and Morty

We are joined this week by longtime guest Lou Perella and firsttime guest Peter Maldonado. Chuck and I work in some show plugs, then Chuck talks about his experience at the East Greenwich, RI restaurant Chelo's on the Water. After Chuck and I talk about resetting after the Impractical Jokers situation didn't break like we hoped it would, we talk with about going to see Green Day live with Lou. Chuck and I joke about Ray Harrington's upcoming album, about grabbing sushi from a new-to-us place, then about the movie The Belko Experiment. We discuss Senior Discount being asked to open for Crazy Town (and how that panned out for both bands). Lou and Chuck talk about longtime independent alternative station WBRU shutting down and what that means to them. Finally Chuck reveals he's recently watched the entire existing library of episodes of the television show "Rick and Morty" and discusses his enjoyment of the program while dissecting what makes him enjoy it so thoroughly.
