#480 - An American Pickle, High Score, and DC Fandome

We take a one-week break from "TESD Town History" this week, but it will be back next week! We open some voting to the Chubies (that's you) to help determine which horror series we watch and recap this October. We talk about the upcoming reboot of The Thing and get on a whole tangent about getting stranded in a blizzard a few years back. We talk about the upcoming Action Park documentary, the surprising cancellations of Tosh.O and Drunk History, the HBO Max Seth Rogen movie An American Pickle, then the new documentary series on Netflix about the history of video games - High Score. Chuck raves about the documentary series I'll Be Gone In The Dark and we vow (?) to solve a cold murder case before the end of the year.
After that, we talk about the announcements that came from this year's DC Fandome event. Our levels of excitment and caution do NOT match as we discuss the games Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. We discuss the upcoming Flash movie and of course...the trailer for The Batman. Which one of us is cautiously optimistic and which one of us claims to be but is secretly sporting a "DC Movies 4-ever" tattoo?

#353 - We Play "The Thing: Infection At Outpost 31"

We are joined this week by Jordan Furtado and Gina Mastrostefano! Our pals at Project Raygun sent us a copy of their board game "The Thing: Infection At Outpost 31" and this week we played it! We knew NOTHING about how to play this game going in...and that shows! Listen to us struggle with the rules, figure out the rules, then break the rules as we play through a round of this game. Did The Thing destroy us all, or did the humans escape the outpost and save humanity? Listen up!!!!

Episode 286: 2K Movies, Fun In Comedy, and a Horse Costume

Episode 286 starts with our official political endorsement (sort of), as well as our views on the election cycle. Our views are dim. After some show plugs, we talk about the below Web Couliers, then dive into some Movie Driplets. The return of Frank Grimes on The Simpsons and Green Day's American Idiot movie are discussed, then we try to figure out what a "2K" restoration is for John Carpenter's The Thing. We brainstorm about the possibilities for Sony's Spider-Man spinoff films, then talk about the new show with Demetri Martin and fake facts.
We talk about Deadpool merging with Howard the Duck and about fun in comics (and in comedy). Chuck salivates over the WWE/Ninja Turtle action figures, then we talk about Green Day's upcoming tour with Against Me. Chuck reviews local restaurants Say Cheese and Growler's Wing Bar, I talk about a food adventure and hurting my leg, then we review the recent Against Me show at Fete. Spoiler alert: we liked it.
We also talk a lot about farts this episode.
