Baconsale

Wakanda forever! Or is it? Kent, Joel and Jacob are ready to review the first big movie of the year, Black Panther.

And will Joel rate using letters or stars? All these questions and more will be answered o...

Look into our eyes and you will see what these songs mean to us, because today Baconsale is talking about some of our favorite love songs.

SPOILER ALERT: Kent is awkward and sweaty around women, whereas Joel has been kissing girls sin...

Kent and Joel have different approaches when it comes to upcoming movies. Joel is satisfied with watching one film trailer, whereas Kent likes to dig in, read articles, check out leaked set photos and possibly read the screenplay beforehand. But which way is right?

The first half is spoiler-free...bu...
