#422 - Spider-Man: Far From Home, Our Independence Weeks, and Stranger Things 3

Big talk this week! Chuck and I haven't talked to each other in over a week! We talk about weird things that happened today including a call center employee going off on me over the phone! We talk about our shows together in Hartford and East Providence and all the events surrounding them. After that, I regale Chuck with my tale of family time back in Indiana and he tells me about changing traditions out here in Rhode Island. Once we are caught up on our weeks, we discuss Stranger Things season 3 (no spoilers), then give a spoiler-free review of Spider-Man: Far From Home. After a very clear warning, we then launch into a spoiler-full discussion of the film and include everything we liked and didn't like. But most of it is like.

Episode 288: Halloween 2016!

We're joined by Nic Hallenbeck and Brian Decoteaux for our annual Halloween episode! Chuck and I talk about the spooky things we've done this month to stay festive. We discuss Stranger Things, the documentary Tales of Rocky Point Park, and Hocus Pocus. We go through Chuck's favorite annual tradition - Rejected Halloween Costumes! It's a blast. Chuck updates us on the Grinchverse, and also adds a few songs to his Halloween playlist. Chuck and I recap and review Pet Sematary 2 (terrible!) Finally, Gina Mastrostefano joins the podcast to present a game - Chuck and I play this game, with the loser having to endure the most brutal punishment imaginable - doing a book report on the "biography" of WWE "superstar" Kane! (the biography is NOT about the real wrestler who plays the character, it's ACTUALLY about the fictional character - this book is so bad)

Episode 281: Yoga Hosers, Don't Think Twice, and Netflix Originals

Back to Classic Chuck and Vintage Brad this week, as it's just the two of us. We talk about some superhero movie news involving the solo Batman movie, two tidbits from the Spider-Man movie, and two tiddier bits from the Netflix GLOW show (not superheroes, sorry). I share the story of a foolish mistake I recently made, Chuck expresses his delight about the upcoming Green Day tour. We talk about a 10-year old remake of a 20-year old game coming to the Wii U (a dying system) and couldn't be happier.
Chuck recaps his trip to see Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally live, we talk about the Kevin Smith movie Yoga Hosers, then Chuck relates the tale of going to see Don't Think Twice, the new film from Mike Birbiglia.
Chuck and I close by talking about Stranger Things and other original Netflix properties and how excited we are that we are finally catching up to the rest of the Western world in our appreciation thereof.
