Baconsale

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! It’s time for Baconsale to review the third Thor film. Therefore, will they think this movie is a thrilling full-throttle theater experience? Or is the god of thunder too thick, though the plot is thin? Will Kent thoroughly go for the throat of this throwaway movie? Or will his feelings thaw toward Marvel? Can Thor thrive there at the box office? Have we thought of a thousand...

For our final episode of this Halloween season, Baconsale tried something a little different. We gave Jacob complete control of the show, and he created a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure/Dungeons-and-Dragons style game that places Kent and Joel in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It is up to each of them to make the right decisions to stay alive. WARNING: The descriptions get pretty gruesome at times....

My, my, how the tables have turned! On this episode, it's Jacob's turn to be the superfan as we discuss the TV show Supernatural, and he must try to convince you, the listener to watch it. Kent already thinks Sam & Dean are hot & sexy beefcakes, but Joel can't stop talking about Gilmore Girls. So hop in your black 1967 Chevy Impala, crank up the classic rock and press play, because everybody dies...

Listener, you brought this upon yourself. You recommended that we watch Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween and we made the horrible mistake of following your suggestion. Joel does his best to contain his seething hatred for this movie, but it all comes spilling out. Luckily, though, Kent is there to give it the highest rating of the three members of Baconsale. The first half is spoiler-free...bu...

WARNING! This episode is not for the faint of heart! Kent decided to redeem one of his pitch shows, so he and Joel are ready to share three ideas for new Halloween movies: one reboot, remake or sequel, one adaptation and one original horror film. The pitches start off in traditional Baconsale fashion—lighthearted ridiculousness—but then the stories take a dark turn and get seriously scary. One eve...

It's time for Baconsale to review one of the most anticipated horror movies of the year. . .45 years ago.

He recommended the film to us, so Kent, Joel and Jacob watched it. Now, we're ready to discuss it. But don't worry, the first 11...

Nightmare on Elm Street? Friday the 13th? The Ring? Those are sooooo mainscream.

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...

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!

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...

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...

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.
