#573 - Chuck Films with Drew Barrymore, Brad's Curious Correspondence, and Everything Everywhere All At Once

We kick things off with listener emails - should we accept gifts? Brad tells a wacky work story and we try to figure out if it is a prank. We discuss our approaches to dating and what level of putting ourselves out there is appropriate. Brad talks about the Conan (the Cimmerian) books and we try to figure out why so many Tuesdays with Stories listeners come at Chuck online. Chuck talks about his experience filming with Mike Birbiglia and Drew Barrymore. We recap our experience with the Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Newport and wax enthusiastic about a Memorial Day Cookout. We offer our spoiler-free thoughts on the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once and then, after making the delineation point very clear, launch into a full review of the whole movie.

#572 - The Our Father documentary, Morbius, and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)

Ray Harrington joins us this week and we (once again) immediately go off the rails. I talk about blacking out on Ambien and somehow this leads to an extended riff about the JonBenet Ramsey case. Chuck explains the Netflix documentary Our Father to Ray and me and we are suitably appalled. Speaking of appalling, we also watched Morbius. We close with an extended discussion about the new Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers movie and how we felt they executed the pop culture mash-up in 2022!

#571 - Empire Records, Murder on the Orient Express, and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

After Brad relates a missed opportunity, Chuck presents his new segment: "Get Cultured, You Swine." We revisit older movies that many people have recommended to us. This starts with Empire Records, which sparks a lively discussion about whether Rex Manning is a bad guy. We talk about Escape from New York and Big Trouble in Little China before I tell Chuck my opinions on the (much-more recent) Moon Knight. I also tell Chuck about the 2017 version of Murder on the Orient Express and throw in some Agatha Christie trivia. We close with Chuck telling me about the Nicolas Cage movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

#570 - Brad's Terrible Spine Surgery Adventure

That's right, Brad had spine surgery also! What a copycat! Before he breaks that down, though, we answer questions that listeners sent in, including insights on dating and more Patreon ideas. After that, Brad tells the story of his surgery and recovery period and we both giggle like idiots about using anti-bacterial wipes on unapproved body parts.

Chuck gives a final update on his spine surgery as Brad preps for HIS spine surgery! It may have already happened by the time this episode is out! We discuss whether someone being a good person is intrinsic or extrinsic, Chuck's (hilarious) drug issues, Chuck's filming with TESD and Tuesdays and Kevin Smith. I learn about filming at the Fat Black Pussycat as well. Chuck talks about his weight loss and a major milestone. We talk about the Tony Hawk documentary and the movie "Nobody." Chuck talks about the It's Always Sunny Podcast and we celebrate the triumphant claiming of a Simpsons Arcade 1-Up machine. Chuck closes by getting unexpectedly poignant when talking about success, growth, and celebration.
