Episode 343: Tony Pacitti's Journey and Star Wars: The Last Jedi

We are joined this week by Providence Monthly Managing Editor Tony Pacitti! We discuss our Christmas celebrations and Chuck talks about Senior Discount's Christmas Medley being featured on the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave 2017 Christmas Podcast! Whoa mama! After that, we talk about how Tony got to where he is and how Star Wars helped along the way. Once we're up to speed with him, we take a quick spoiler-free look at The Last Jedi, then, after a respectful pause for people who haven't seen it yet, we go through with a spoiler-full recap of the movie and our feelings about it.

Episode 242 - WWE TLC, Hateful Eight, and The Force Awakens

*NOTE: We apologize, but there is some static throughout this episode. We're very sorry, we're using all borrowed equipment, including a mixing board where we're unable to monitor the recording as well as normal. Really sorry, promise we'll be back on track soon!*
Episode 242 finds the guys joined by Perennial Podcast Pal Lou Perella. The three cool dudes start by promoting some upcoming projects, then Chuck talks about one of the below Web Couliers. Chuck then reads a prepared message about a shift he is undergoing in regards to some of his personal philosophies. It is sad. The guys attempt to bring the mood back up with a discussion of their shared Christmas at the Perellas'. Chuck drops in a factoid about Guitar Hero Live and Avenged Sevenfold, then segues beautifully into a recap of his recent trip to Disney World for some festive fun.
Chuck and Brad regale Lou with tales from the WWE TLC event in Boston and how crazy it was (the other Web Coulier below). They discuss the recent Quentin Tarantino film Hateful Eight, then - after a brief tangent on birthdays, anniversaries, and relationships - get into Star Wars: The Force Awakens. A brief yet triumphant spoiler-less review, then spoilers abound as the guys discuss the whole movie. Including the part where *think of joke about a movie plot point that was once spoiled and put it here and people will love it*

Episode 224: The Story of Rob Pierce

Our 224th foray into podcasting starts with Gina Mastrostefano providing a cameo appearance! She and Chuck tell the story of parking lot vigilantism; Brad remains unconvinced. After that, local standup comic Rob Pierce joins Chuck and Brad. The three guys talk about the upcoming show at the Comedy Connection and then dive into some movie news, including the announcement regarding Star Wars Theme Parks!
The interview with Rob starts with a thorough discussion of his musical background and covers a lot of territory. The guys make their way around to Rob's comedy career and the challenges and opportunities that come with that. It's a fun look* into the mind of a very funny man.
