Episode 114: You Call That A Blandjob? This Is Plain With Yourself



Episode 114 is the long-awaited "Bland-Off" between Brad and Podcast Guest Wade Bernier!
True to his devious ways, Chuck has come up with a way to determine which of his pals has a blander palate! Chuck invites gal-pal Cindy Montville on as a "normie" and asks Cindy, Wade, and Brad if they would or would not eat different foods. We keep score and determine who has the closed-est mind (and mouth) of the group!
Seriously, we name a bunch of foods and determine whether or not we like it. It's glorious, but be warned...you will get hungry.

Episode 113: Iron Man 3, Video Game Writing, and support among artists




Episode 113 starts out with some blasts from the past/future, as Chuck and Brad talk about the rescheduled Senior Discount show, which was technically Thursday night (May 9), but the podcast was recorded on May 8th. Much time travel merriment is had.
Chuck and Brad discuss the below Web Coulier - a trailer for the upcoming movie "Ender's Game." Brad is cautiously optimistic. Chuck does not like space.
Chuck's movie driplet this week spawns a side conversation - isn't it awesome that Marvel president Kevin Feige can praise DC movies and hope for their success? And that Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams helped with the third act of Iron Man 3?
Once that is done, the boys talk about writing in video games. Brad is particularly enamored with the writing in Bioshock: Infinite, and they discuss games they've played that they really got into the story.
The meat of the podcast, however, is a hearty discussion about their trip to Boston to see Iron Man 3. We learn about Brad's increasing desire to go to sleep early as well as Chuck's passion for filet mignon potato skins. They discuss the movie in general terms before announcing a hearty and healthy spoiler alert and then discussing the film in depth.
The podcast ends with Brad admitting to a failure in his personal life and apologizing for it to Chuck.

Episode 112: Daredevil, Jay & Silent Bob, and the power of music



This week's episode of the Chuck and Brad podcast finds Chuck and Brad joking about new names for body parts. Gross new names. After a Senior Discount update about the upcoming show (May 9th!), the boys talk about the below Web Couliers.
Chuck brings up a movie driplet - the rights to the Daredevil character have reverted back to Marvel Studios - what does that mean going forward? Speculation!
Last week, Chuck and Brad went to see the new animated film Jay and Silent Bob's Super-Groovy Cartoon Movie. They discuss it at length (spoilers abound, I guess), and talk about the Q&A with director Kevin Smith and Producer Jason Mewes that occurred after the showing. The most riveting part of any podcast ever comes next, as the boyz discuss their trip to...a local soup restaurant!!! Wowza! Brad brings up the importance of music in his life recently and the guyzos chit-chat about that for the remainder of this week's episode.

Episode 111: Jurassic Park, Green Day, and our heroes' pasts


This week's episode of the Chuck and Brad podcast finds Chuck and Brad joined by local roustabout Mat Fairchild. The three open the conversation by discussion past incidents of "pantsing," both as pantsers and pantsees. Chuck gives a Senior Discount update and a Web Coulier, listed below. After Brad waxes enthusiastic about the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde, the boys discuss creative ventures in various stages of development.
Chuck brings some news driplets to the table - Comic Book Men, the Bad Boys 3 announcement, and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. After that, the meat of the podcast has teeth sunken into it [Editor: There has to be a better way to word that, you idiots.] They discuss a recent trip to see Jurassic Park in 3-D IMAX. Much merriment is made at Brad's expense. Once the raptor calls die down, Chuck and Brad talk about their recent experiences involving Green Day - seeing the band perform live in Providence and watching the recent Cuatro! documentary from the band.
Chuck then brags about some videogame accomplishments that are literally so astounding they can not be put to print. He then talks about the recent movie Spring Breakers and gives his thoughts on the film. All three of the hosts this week talk about their first encounters with illicit substances, then the conversation turns back to popular culture, as Chuck and Brad talk about the Mick Foley and CM Punk DVD's. The conversation ends with an in-depth discussion of the plotline of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the upcoming X-Men movie.

Episode 109: Live Events: Nick Offerman, Tenacious D Acoustic, Demetri Martin, Stephen Lynch


Chuck and Brad open this episode by discussing some of the below Web Couliers and their excitement about upcoming projects. They move from there to some quick movie reviews, some of which they actually watched separately. After that, Chuck issues a rare statement of regret involving Episode 108: The Chuck Staton Rejection Trials.
The meat of the podcast, however, is recaps of specific life events the boyz attended over the past six weeks or so. They saw the Nick Offerman "American Swine" tour and talk about that experience. After that is a very brief discussion about the Tenacious D acoustic show at Lupo's in Providence, and how one fan can impact other fans at a concert. A trip to Northampton to see stand-up from Demetri Martin resulted in the fun, positive experience we've come to expect. They also attended an excellent Stephen Lynch concert in Boston and dealt with some post-show odd moments. Brad went with a non-Chuck-based friend to see the Young@Heart chorus in Worcester as well, and part one of this two-part podcast closes there.
