#476 - Comic-Con At Home, Danny Trejo, and the Child's Play TV Series

We are BACK, baby! We talk about why last week's episode didn't get aired, then dive into some personal updates. We discuss our friendship, then talk about Comic-Con at Home and its "attendance" issues. Chuck talks about the Land of the Giants podcasts featuring Netflix, as well as a documentary about Danny Trejo. We discuss the Child's Play TV show/movie series. We briefly mention some restuarants we hit up as well as a day trip to Newport. Hey, remember the spat between Universal Studios and AMC Theatres? Well, a detente has been reached! Wow! I tell Chuck about the movie "Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga" (although I may have called it Fire Song while recording). Chuck tells me his thoughts on Happy Death Day, and then we discuss whether 90-Day Fiancee is xenophobic.

#475 -Brad's Birthday, Nudity in Film, and Palm Springs

I love doing the podcast. Just throwing that out there. We talk about what we've been up to, including teasing a big story for next week. I talk about my birthday weekend and what that felt like during these bizarre times. Chuck talks about a series of stressful incidents from earlier this week. From there, we move to some news including a documentary about nudity in cinema. We end up on a tangent about nude scenes/racy movies that we remember from our youth/adolescence. We talk about being alone with our thoughts and how podcasts/TV shows help with that. From there, we discuss our experiences with/expectations of straight-to-streaming films. This segues neatly into a spoiler-free discussion of the direct-to-Hulu film "Palm Springs." We talk about it spoiler-free, then make it abundantly clear when we're about to dive into spoiler territory and further discuss the film.

#474 - Clone High, Chuck Goes To New Jersey, Brad Goes To Indiana

We start this week by working through a ton of news. We talk about the release date of Halloween Kills, the song Jurassic Park by Stand Atlantic, and news about a new game in the Metal Slug series. We talk about Conan O'Brien moving his show to the Largo, then get excited for the continuation of the animated show Clone High. The Tony Hawk Pro Skater documentary has a release date in August, Seth Rogen has a movie releasing soon and is in talks to be involved with the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie! We talk about the lawsuit against Netflix for having an "emotional" Sherlock Holmes, a new podcast about The Office, then close our news section with a quick talk about the Battletoads reboot. We then compare weeks - Chuck went to New Jersey to film for Tell 'Em Steve-Dave, I went to Indiana to hang out with my family and eat a surprising (or not-that-surprising) amount of pizza.

#473 - Reminiscing About a Normal Summer

Yo yo yo! It's Chuck and I am coming at you from a filming trip in New Jersey with Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! I am spending the next week at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash working with the TESD guys. This trip kind of came up last minute, Brad was also going on vacation, and we did not have time to record a new episode before I left. I was racking my brain on what we could do for an episode, and ultimately I decided that maybe a little trip down memory lane to LAST summer would be fun, in this time where we can't do so many things that are normal for us.
This is a little episode with clips of all the normal stuff we'd be doing (our live comedy shows, our hosting gigs for food events, playing concerts, going to see comedians and musicians, etc) if there wasn't a pandemic on our hands. Hopefully you guys will have a fun time with us reminiscing, and we can all look forward to a future where everyone can spend time together again enjoying life.

#472 - Brad's Coffee Clumsiness, Chuck Loves "90-Day Fiancee," and Saving Silverman

When you get coffee for other people, where do you put it in your car? And how did that work out for Brad this week? We talk about my instant karma, then Chuck gushes - almost inappropriately so - about his fondness for the show "90-Day Fiance." We talk about new HBO Podcasts and a new EP from The Front Bottoms. Chuck tells me about his night out at the socially-distanced Comedy Connection in Providence, then about meals at Metacom Kitchen, La Pinata, Butterbang Croissants, and Vienna Bakery. Wow! So much food! I talk about my experience watching the Artemis Fowl movie on Disney Plus, we talk about DL Hughley collapsing on stage, and we close with Chuck's affectionate take on the movie "Saving Silverman."

#471 - Palm Springs, Quarantine TV Episodes, and The King of Staten Island

We are audio-only this week! We talk about that for a lil' bit, then Chuck tells me about new podcasts from Chris DeMakes and Mike Birbiglia. We discuss the trailer for the upcoming film "Palm Springs" and time-loop movies in general. We get hyped for the upcoming HBO documentary "I'll Be Gone In The Dark." We talk about the 30 Rock special coming out in a few weeks and talk about the impermanence of quarantine episodes. Chuck tells me about a Disney d23 special that is not what he thought it was, and ends up talking about "Prop Culture" on Disney+. We talk about some movies we watched this week, and Chuck talks about his parents' recent car accident as well as his recent doctor's visit. Disgusting. I talk a little bit about my church talent show. We offer a spoiler-free review of the new Judd Apatow movie "The King of Staten Island," then make it clear when spoilers will start, then offer our spoiler-full thoughts on the film!

#470 - Judd Apatow's Comedy Documentaries, Frank Turner/NoFX Collaoration, and "I'm Lactose"

We start out with our feelings on the Black Lives Matter movement. Spoiler alert: we support it. After that, Chuck claims that people often say "I'm lactose" when they mean "I'm lactose intolerant" and I am NOT having it. Chuck shares some lil' stories from his past week including losing a credit card. We discuss the Frank Turner/NoFX split album coming out in July, then talk about the upcoming Judd Apatow-produced George Carlin documentary. Chuck tries to get me excited for some new Metal Slug games, then we speculate about casting additions to the MCU. I talk about movies I've watched recently, including Hell or High Water. Chuck raves about his renewed love for This Is The End, then offers thoughts on Zombieland 2. He tells me about starting the show Breaking Bad, then we close with a quick discussion about his new car and look to social media to find out if other people are cool with "I'm lactose."
