#460 - Upgrade, The World War Z Game, and The Hunt

Hey there Chubies! We talk this week about how this current state of affairs is affecting us, as well as a health scare for one of Chuck's family members. We talk about the struggle to be creative in times like this and Chuck talks about how he has worked through some of that struggle. We discuss the movie Upgrade and how we felt about it (no spoilers). Chuck tells me about watching season one of The Sopranos, then we talk about how we are rejoining the world of online gaming. We discuss the game World War Z and how much fun we've had playing it over the past week. We talk about the new Alkaline Trio EP as well as the new Marc Maron special. I tell Chuck about the "Timmy Failure" movie on Disney Plus, Chuck tells me about Mike Birbiglia's Instagram Live show as well as the new sitcom "Beefhouse." We close with a spoiler-free review of the controversial film "The Hunt," then, after clear warnings, discuss it in-depth with plenty of spoilers (but again, plenty of warning before those spoilers.)

#427 - Chips and Salsa Etiquette, Empress Theresa, and Hobbs & Shaw

We start out with Chuck getting vulnerable and talking honestly about some frustrations he has felt lately in his professional life. From there, we move to more positive news, celebrating his new Providence Monthly column. Chuck reveals an argument he had on Reddit about charging people from chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. We discuss The Lion King (2019) becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time. We discuss feature film The Hunt being pulled from theaters. I talk about a book I recently read and how little I enjoyed it. Just a brutal slog through 450 pages. Woof. Chuck talks about some restaurants he recently tried and I get hungry. We then offer a spoiler-free discussion of the new Fast & Furious spin-off "Hobbs and Shaw," then, we make it very clear we're going to spoil things...and then discuss the film in greater depth.
