#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."

#469 - The Rhode Show's Brendan Kirby, Nobody Speak, and Trial By Media

We are joined this week by Brendan Kirby! Brendan is currently one of the hosts on Rhode Island morning show "The Rhode Show" and we were very excited to catch up with him and find out his story. We talk about how his college education and hard work led him to where he currently is! Very interesting and inspiring to hear about hard work paying off! After he signs off, Chuck and I discuss the Gawker/Hogan documentary "Nobody Speak" and somehow avoid getting into our 350th disagreement about the case! Wow! Historic! Chuck tells me about the new Netflix series "Trial By Media" and I am riveted! Fun stuff!

#468 - Chuck's Donut Hunt, Animated Dramas, and Blade Runner

We open with a brief dicussion of Chuck's current hillbilly-like status before updating his injury status from last week. He talks about his efforts to get a fancy French Dip sandwich this week as well as going on a Jelly Donut hunt for his grandfather's 95th birthday. I'm still not sure how this ended up with us talking about TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. We talk about Nick Swardson's appearance on Steve-O's podcast, then I bring up a book series I just finished and ask Chuck the question: why aren't there animated series aimed at adults? After we try and parse that out, I talk about finishing the game Dishonored 2 and using a walkthrough for most of it - should I feel ashamed? From there, we discuss me watching Blade Runner for the first time this weekend, then follow up with my thoughts on Blade Runner 2049. We talk a little bit about movies that make us cry and that becomes a discussion of songs and videos that elicit tears. Happy tears, I mean. The good kind.

#467 - Gear Woes, The Invitation, and Streets of Rage

We start out this week by joking about some health woes? Will Chuck die from carpal-tunnel syndrome? Maybe! But don't tell him I said anything! We talk about Mark Normand's new comedy special premiering on YouTube, then Chuck talks about his hunt for a new camera and the struggles that go into it. We then discuss movies we've seen recently, including Stuber, Hotel Artemis, and Arkansas. We both watched The Invitation and talk at length about that as a thriller. Chuck drops some news about future Deadpool movies, as well as a possible Community movie. We talk about Scream 5 and our experiences with the Scream series. We close this week by talking about our attempt to beat the first three games in the "Streets of Rage" series (which came out between 1991 and 1994). Were we able to beat the notoriously difficult third game? Listen and find out!

#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."

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.
