Episode 48: Silly Marvel Casting, Raffle-Winning, Avatar DVDs, and Jamie Oliver vs West Virginia


After the Senior Discount/Sky Punch and Chuck/Brad updates, third-time guest Aaron Arcello is welcomed to the show. The boys discuss the very recent Senior Discount show at Lupo's, the special filming they did, and Chuck's unprecedented nervousness beforehand.
Some emails are answered, prompting a discussion of disappointing April Fool's day pranks, and a convenient segue into this week's Web Couliers (Chuck and Brad's weekly web-findings): a trailer for the star-studded film "The Expendables", an article about the best April Fool's Day pranks, a trailer for the documentary "Best Worst Movie", an article about the world's greatest thief, a humorous "Back To The Future"-inspired fake letter from Doc Brown to Marty McFly, and an article written about an exchange between the writer of the film "Monster House" and a child frightened of the film.
The three pilgrims discuss a recent wrestling death, and the very odd decision to cast Chris Evans as Captain America, when he already plays the Human Torch (both owned by Marvel). The upcoming Zune HD (64 GB) is discussed, and then guest Arcello brags for a while about his innate ability to "win raffles". The boys discuss Fat Mike (of NOFX fame) and his disturbing "set" as SXSW, and "Avatar"'s extremely ironic three-release-plan in conjunction with their Earth Day DVD release. They converse about Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, and the film "Babies", and close the show with some more debate about the iPad.

Episode 47: Boondock Saints 2, White Crosses, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and Brad's Unfulfilled Late Night Fantasy


We open the show this week with a joke (and possibly true story) about Brad as a child. Laughs all around. After the Senior Discount/Sky Punch and Chuck/Brad updates, the boys talk about their Web Couliers (their weekly web-findings): Senior Discount's track "We All Fall Down" being posted for a free download, Chuck Palahniuk's article "Live Like You're Dying" about suicide, Jimmy Kimmel's "Handsome Men's Club" sketch, the trailer for the game NBA Jam 2010, and the web sensation "Chat Roulette Piano Improv".
The fellows dish some info on Kevin Smith's "Red State" and discuss "Boondock Saints 2". Chuck introduces the segment "Chuck's Petty Print-Outs" where he exposes some rude eBay buyers and their foolish bickering. They talk about Against Me!'s leaked album "White Crosses" and the recent trip to see the Jimmy Fallon show (as well as Brad's "Unfulfilled Late Night Fantasy").
The two close the show with a discussion of the slightly drastic measures Warner Bros has taken against FYE, Redbox and Netflix.

Episode 46: Exciting Music Videos and Movie Trailers, HOT TUB TIME MACHINE and Harvey Weinstein


After the Senior Discount/Sky Punch and Chuck/Brad updates, Chuck and Brad answer some emails, which leads to a big discussion on copyright. The tawdry two then mention their online-finds with their weekly "Web Couliers": OK Go's TWO amazing new videos for their song "This Too Shall Pass", the trailer for Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop", the Dropkick Murphys and the Mighty Bosstones performing "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" together at the Boston HOB, the trailer for the upcoming Jonah Hill/Russel Brand vehicle "Get Him To The Greek", the hilarious new website Hacked IRL, and the amazing music of Rodrigo Y Gabriela.
Chuck then talks about how Senior Discount's equipment is currently being held hostage, and ponders about how to get it back. He then laments about the Against Me documentary "We're Never Going Home", Russel Brand's "Live from New York" stand-up special, and "Hot Tub Time Machine". Brad counters Chuck with an exciting trip to a business fair, where he plays his Nintendo DS and cock-blocks a random individual.
Chuck introduces his (non-)weekly segment "Chuck's Tidbit Toss-Around" where he announces some entertainment news, and podcast padres end the show talking about a provocative new documentary that targets the unbelievable movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Episode 45: Condemning Harsh Criticism, Light Criticism, Entertainment Announcements, and the Future of Media


After the Senior Discount/Sky Punch and Chuck/Brad updates, Chuck and Brad answer some emails, and mention their online-finds with their weekly "Web Couliers": a parody of the song "Too Late To Apologize", an acoustic rendition of Lady Gaga songs, and some rarely seen movie posters for Inglourious Basterds.
The two discuss the film "Edge of Darkness" which leads into a discussion on how harsh Brad can be with criticism. The two talk about the movies "Daybreakers", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Planet Terror", "Once", the television shows "The Office", "30 Rock", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", and the non-movie and non-television show "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog".
The terrible two talk about entertainment news including the new Streetlight Manifesto cover album, Alkaline Trio's new CD "This Addiction", Tetris Party Deluxe for the Nintendo Wii, and include a mind-bending conversation starting with the possible fall of Blockbuster, and ending with the future of media.
Also, the equally epic Brad vs(?) Domino's. You'll see.

Episode 44: Where the f**k did all these Gremlins come from?


After the Senior Discount/Sky Punch and Chuck/Brad updates, Chuck and Brad mention their new sponsors, and the following "Web Couliers": Demetri Martin's "Bruce the Funny Dog", an AMAZING still-video of a bank robbery called "Carousel", "Alma", Super Mario Bros 3 redone with construction paper, the new Angel and Airwaves album (free for download!), which prompts them to talk about the upcoming Angels and Airwaves movie.
Chuck talks about his experience seeing Jamie Kennedy do standup live in Boston, and Brad talks about his non-experience with nano-glass! The twosome discuss Valentine's Day backlash, and the splitting up of Fallout Boy. They go on to discuss (the lead singer of Say Anything) Max Bemis' "Song Shop" program, and the White Stripes suing the Air Force.
As has been discussed previously, the boys talk at length about Brad's guilt, and the somehow segue into the documentaries Chuck watched this week, which were about the Halloween movie series, the Friday the 13th movie series, and PETA (all of which feature similarly disturbing villians). The two childhood friends (not that they were friends when they were young - they're simply currently still children) then close the show; Chuck with some short (but intriguing) video game updates, and Brad with a story he calls "Brad's Gay Moment".

Episode 42: Disturbing Wishes from an Ex-Cohort, Sports on TV, Pet Peeves, and the Adventures of Andy Dick


After Senior Discount/Sky Punch and Chuck/Brad updates, Chuck and Brad welcome Lou Perella to the show. They open with an extremely creepy and disturbing new revelation about one of the group's ex-cohorts, which gets Chuck and Lou each a little heated (Brad gets as heated as a Brad can get).
They then introduce some new "Web Couliers" including an a capella version of blink 182's "What's My Age Again?", the Wu-Tang/Beatles mash-up album, a great short film from Louis CK, Michael Ian Black's blog, the trailer for the film "Buried", and a legitimate naked picture of Marge Simpson, drawn by Matt Groening! (This week's "Web Couliers" theme is "Things That Are In No Way Related"!)
The three thieves go on to discuss Andy Dick's recent arrest, and the old show "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer". A brief debate about the liking/disliking of televised sports ensues, and ends with a discussion of pet peeves.
The group then ponders the age old question "Why are they paying celebrities to do the voices of Alvin and the Chipmunks in the new films, if they're just going to distort the voices to an unrecognizeable pitch anyway?"
They talk about the new My Chemical Romance album, having music "street cred" to yourself, a short rehash of Leno and Conan (from a different standpoint), and Scrubs. Also - a new entry in the B.S. Book!

"What's My Age Again?" A capella
