#466: Brad Blunders, The Last of Us 2, and Days N' Daze

We all make mistakes, right? Well, I talk about two mistakes I've made recently and chuckle at my innocent idiocy in regards to both groceries and garbage. From there, we shift to a "The Rohrer You Know" segment about shingles. Gross! Chuck tells me about the new Universal theme park opening in 2023. We discuss films getting "IMAX releases" on VD as well as a comedy festival airing this weekend on NBC. We talk about the HBO docuseries based on the Michelle McNamara book "I'll Be There In The Dark." We discuss the leaks from NaughtyDog's new game "The Last of Us 2" and the culture of fandom that produced them. We talk about movies we've watched recently - Creed, Creed II, The Goonies, and Bad Trip. I talk about making playlists with people I work with. Chuck gushes over the new album by Days N' Daze, and we close with updates about the Universal studios versus AMC theatres. The closing song is "Langley" by Sully Banger.

#465: Universal Pictures vs AMC Theatres, Groundhog Day, and That Kevin Smith Club

Just us this week! Chuck and I talk about our recent experiences, including the phenomenon of spending money just to feel something during the Stay At Home order. We talk about some things our family members are going through as well - pulling back the collective curtain on our actual lives. I tell Chuck about the Mr. Rogers documentary and my emotional reaction to it. He explains the Beastie Boys documentary (we briefly discussed it last week) and HIS emotional reaction to that! So many emotions. We then move to discuss news - after the success of Trolls: World Tour on streaming rentals, what does this mean for the future of movies (specifically movies from Universal) in theaters (specifically AMC theaters)? Chuck describes his feelings about the movie Groundhog Day, which he has recently seen for the first time. And finally, we discuss That Kevin Smith Club, the paysite for all things Kevin Smith! Wow!

#437 - The 2019 Turtle Hunt

Every autumn, Chuck and I scour local (and not-so-local) comic and collectible stores to track down our white whales - two of the Universal Movie Monster/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover figures. This is the seventh year we've undertaken the quixotic quest, and the FIRST time we've recorded our chatter in the car DURING the trip! We visit the RI/MA chains The Time Capsule and the Toy Vault, as well as That's Entertainment (Worcester MA), Bargain City Flea (Cumberland RI), Midway Antiques (Johnston RI), and Joff's Backyard Grill (Bellingham MA). We are joined by Lou Perella as we discuss the quest itself, my distaste for grime, our feelings on collectibles and growing up, as well as delicious hot dogs smothered in pulled pork and grated cheese. Chuck and I also bicker about leaving each other's car dirty! Classic banter! Enjoy this very special episode!

Episode 185 - Our Florida Adventure - Part 2

This is part 2 of a 3-part episode. Recently, Chuck and Brad went to Florida with some of their pals. Let's lay it on the line here - this week's series of episodes that are more for the superfans of the Chuck and Brad Podcast, as they are basically the audio equivalent of home movies. Not the most exciting, hilarious or erotic series of episodes - just the recording of a good vacation with some good friends. This podcast is the middle section of that trip. Here are some "exciting" highlights: covering a night at the Magic Kingdom, daytime shenanigans Kissimmee and an evening at Universal Studios.
This episode was recorded while still on the trip, while still in the townhouse we rented in Florida. Chuck and Brad were joined on this journey (both literal and figurative) by podcast mainstays Lou Perella and Patrick Dennis, as well as newcomer Sarah Reynolds. Much fun is had at everyone's expense.

This week, we are presenting a three-part series. Recently, Chuck and Brad went to Florida with some of their pals. Let's lay it on the line here - this week's series of episodes that are more for the superfans of the Chuck and Brad Podcast, as they are basically the audio equivalent of home movies. Not the most exciting, hilarious or erotic series of episodes - just the recording of a good vacation with some good friends. Here are some "exciting" highlights: background information on planning our trip, some expressions of anxiety, the initial flight and associated trouble therewith, arrival in Florida, a surprising shopping expedition, meeting up with Lou, and a day in Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. Also a gluttonous feast.
