Baconsale

Welcome to the next level! Today, Baconsale is discussing what the Sega Genesis does that Nintendon't. Kent and Joel were (are) both mega Sega boys, and they want to pitch their ideas for 20 titles they think should be included on a Sega Classic system. And even if you're a fan of other consoles, or you're not into video games at all, you're sure to appreciate the guys' infectious enthusiasm on th...

Yup! Yup! Yup! We're finishing our list of non-Disney animated movies! You see, our ranking shows are like onions, but instead of layers, they have tiers. And we're going to put 35 more films into their respective tier and have a fun time doing it! This time around we're including ones like Shrek, Anastasia, The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, Madagascar and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls...

Yo quiero indigestion! Baconsale has done it again—we've eaten every single item on the Taco Bell menu. We tried that one thing that's made with a tortilla, meat & cheese, and that other thing that has a tortilla, meat & cheese and even the new one with a tortilla, meat & cheese. And now Kent, Joel and Jacob are going to rate and rank each of these unique fast food items in a series of categories....

Surprise! Jacob sprung a BaconBit on us! He asked Kent and Joel to discuss Disney's recent decision to pull all of their content from Netflix and create their own streaming service. Do the guys think this is a good idea? Or do they think it's a horrible plot by an evil corporation to squeeze the last drop of income from the poor viewer's pocket? Only time will tell, but that won't stop us from spe...

Look, we all know everyone is looking forward to Justice League and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but what about the other films that are coming out before the end of the year?

Plus, you'll get to hear Joel's movie trailer voice, Kent's real voice and Jacob...

The Reverse Listener sent out a survey with some of our biggest debate topics and arguments, and he finally let us see the results.

Press play and see what we had to say about what you had to say!

Great Scott! Baconsale is discussing time travel with our good friend Emily! We've each come to the table with some of our favorite time-traveling movies and TV shows and we try to put each of them into one of three categories: fixed, dynamic and multiverse. The discussion starts out a little science-y, and then it gets pretty geeky, but we do our best to be excellent to each other and we hope you...

After Baconsale's last dating etiquette show , our friend Paige asked to come on the show in order to give a fresh, female, millennial perspective on courtship in the modern world. So here she is! And she brought along her friend Jordyn (and Courtney and Amelia) to discuss how dates have changed since Joel and Jacob were last in the game, as well as some tips for Kent to help him improve his game...

Old McBaconsale had a podcast. E-I-E-I-O! And on this show, they have some guests! E-I-E-I-O! With a Lara here and a Jacob there. Here a Kent, there a Joel, and a silent Erin.

This week we're hanging out with the ladies from the Life on the Rocks, Please podcast and Joel and Kent compete in a quiz all about farming and farm animals. If you think the premis...

Think of us. Think of us fondly as we debate plays. We've brought along our special guest, Brittney, to pit The Phantom of the Opera against Les Misérables. At the end of the day/episode we'll declare which musical is best by discussing such categories as best characters, catchiest song and greatest (biggest?) legacy. Joel goes full theatre geek, Kent becomes everyone's favorite mutant uncle and a...

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's ranking movies and tiering them tonight. And in this episode, Baconsale is discussing the animated features that didn't come from Disney. These are films from Don Bluth Productions, DreamWorks Animation, Illumination Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Sony and more. Joel can't stop singing, Kent can't stop making out during boring movies and...

Well, howdy there, pardner! Baconsale is ready to rustle up a discussion about some of our favorite Western movies. However, Kent and Joel aren't as well-versed in the world of cowboys, Indians, sheriffs, settlers, gamblers, bandits and bandanas (much to Jacob's delight), so they're also going to discuss the gaps in their knowledge and talk about the iconic Westerns they haven't seen. So get your...

Oh. Apparently Christopher Nolan directed another film, it seems? I guess we'll review it. Seriously, though, Kent has been waiting to review this movie since it was first announced two years ago. He's been so excited, he legally changed his name to "Kent Dunkirk." But will Nolan's latest project live up to his high expectations? And if Joel's opinion differs, will Kent murder him on the spot? Pre...

Picking favorite movies is like picking favorite children for Baconsale, which is why we're playing another round of Cable, IMAX, Erase. In case you didn't hear the first episode, Jacob will present three movies and Kent and Joel will have to decide which movie they'll watch on repeat on TV, which movie they'll see once on the big screen and which one they'll delete from history. It basically turn...

Now that three different actors have played Spider-Man in the last 15 years, it's time for Baconsale to discuss who is the most amazing: Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire (a.k.a. Jerry Maguire). We'll debate who portrayed Peter Parker properly, which franchise featured the most fearsome foe and what movie moment made us the most misty-eyed. Now that we've got all of that alliteration o...

Baconsale! Baconsale! Does a BaconBit review whenever they feel like it! And today we're reviewing the latest Avengers-- er Web-Slinger movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Listen up! Baconsale is once again discussing their favorite scores, soundtracks and composers! Jacob will give Kent and Joel a category (such as most overrated soundtrack, best electronic score and guilty pleasure) and they must each pick a winner for that category. Plus, as an added twist, they are not allowed to pick any of the music they used in our last Soundtrack & Feels episode (Episode 74)...

Okay, here we go. Focus… Speed.... Find your super suit (no capes!) and just keep swimming, because Baconsale is ranking Pixar movies to infinity and beyond! Or at least from Toy Story to Cars 3. Kent may hate most of these movies and Jacob may -- SQUIRREL! -- be apathetic, but if you're a fan, you've got a friend in Joel. TRIGGER WARNING: The Hopper argument rears its ugly head once again. Press...

Vroom! Vroom! Baconsale is ready to review the Cars sequel that may actually be worth talking about. It takes us a while to get on the right track/subject, but soon we're talking about Lightning McQueen's future, Doc Hudson's past and if there was enough Mater in this movie. Did Kent hate it? Did Joel love it? Did Jacob actually see it? Press play and find out!

Who's your TV daddy? Yikes. That sounded a little creepy.

And we actually get through our entire bracket and declare a winner in one episode! We've brought in everyone from Herman Munster to Homer Simpson to determine who i...

Join our expedition as we dig deep into The Mummy movie. Kent and Joel saw the new film (not Jacob, though -- Kent wouldn't let him go) and are ready to talk about if Tom Cruise successfully began the Dark Universe franchise, or if he just looks really, really good while doing so. As always, we keep all spoilers under wraps during the first 10 minutes, so you can listen even if you haven't seen th...

Hera, give us strength! Baconsale is talking about Wonder Woman in this episode.
