Baconsale

Baconsale has already ranked popular pizza chains and frozen pizzas on previous episodes and now we’re topping it all off with, well, pizza toppings. We’ve compiled a list of 24 popular meats and veggies and, after quickly picking our preferred crust type and sauce, Joel, Kent, and Zack will rank everything from anchovies to tomatoes. Along the way, there may be some Little Sleazer's slander and multiple comparisons to the taste of dirt, but we hope you enjoy as we pile on the praise for the toppings we love and present the official pizza of our podcast.

 

Don’t be a jerk to bread, BOOK IT to that play button!

Believe it or not, it’s been three years since the last time Baconsale played Concert, iPod, Erase. So, we decided to dedicate another episode to contemplating which artists we’d like to see in concert, which songs we’d want to hear on repeat, and which albums we would erase from existence. Zack is having fun with themes, Kent is doing his best impression of Cher, and Joel is still paying for his past actions with this game. We invite you to play along with us as we stress about scenarios that will never happen.

Your friendly neighborhood Wall-Crawler is swinging back into theaters again with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But will Tom Holland’s fourth Spidey flick be a leap forward in the evolution of his story, or is Peter Parker’s plot too caught up in the tangled web of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? That’s what we’re going to talk about on this BaconBit. Joel and Kent have seen the movie and are ready to give their spoiler-free, post-embargo reviews. And Zack is going to stick around, even after we start discussing specific plot points and characters, because spoilers for this film are kind of a grey area.

I'll tell you what we want, what we really, really want. We really want to talk about songs that are, No Diggity, turning 30 years old this year. And so, on this episode of Baconsale, we’re looking back to a time when Joel and Kent were merely Freshmen, and Zack was still dependent on his Mother Mother. We’ll be bringing up music that made us think we could Change the World and tunes that made us feel Blue. And while it may feel like we’re being Ironic with some of our choices, we’ll do our best to not Sink to the Bottom of the barrel Too Much with our picks, nor will we Sell Out as we avoid the Macarena.

 

Don’t practice Santeria, just press play.

After years of war, no one could stand between Kent and Sir Christopher Nolan’s new epic, The Odyssey. And since fortune favors the brave, Kent and Zack have seen this fantasy action film and are ready to share the tale of their cinematic adventure into sanitized mythology. We won’t spoil anything at the beginning of this BaconBit, but if you’ve taken a high school English class, you probably already know how the story goes. However, after Joel leaves and journeys back home to his wife, Kent and Zack will stay to talk about the specifics of this sword and sandal saga.

In brightest day, in blackest night, no bad superhero movie shall escape our sight. Because we asked you, the listener, to research spiders in the Amazon and give us your worst offerings from Marvel, DC, and every other corner of comic book adaptations. Now, dig on this: Joel and Kent are going to build a movie marathon watchlist using the poorly made films you gave us. Zack will then have to decide which awful watch party he’s going to attend based solely on what is playing. And justice is blind, ai’ght?

 

What killed the dinosaurs? The not pressing play age!

We've been staring at all these Disney live-action remakes ‘long as we can remember, never really knowing why they keep making them. But they do, and Joel and Kent are now ready to review the flesh & blood adaptation of Moana. Yes, we’re going to spoil it because it’s the story you already know from the 2016 animated movie. Zack is even going to stick around for spoilers. And while we’re going to give you a lot more Heihei, we apologize for the contagious yawning that happens during this BaconBit.

On this episode of Baconsale, a throwaway joke from our fruit tiering episode has now become a reality. Joel, Kent, Zack, and our friend Babs have created a list of 18 varieties of nuts & seeds (THAT’S A LOT OF NUTS!) and are going to be ranking them based on taste, texture, and the ability to kill. We’ll be discussing the almond, cashew, chestnut, hazelnut, macadamia nut, peanut, pine nut, pistachio nut, walnut (would you stop naming nuts!), and more. We’ll be sharing our feelings, our children’s thoughts, some random facts, and a few Bible verses as we chat about our mass consumption of these drupes, legumes, and kernels.

On Baconsale Episode 503, Joel, Kent, and Zack shared some of the best and worst debut albums of popular bands. Now, we’re following up that conversation with a direct sequel. It’s going to be more personal, a little darker, and somewhat edgier. First of all, we’re going to discuss the second albums of the artists previously discussed. Following that, we’ll share our picks for the best sophomore albums of all time. Though, despite Zack’s best efforts, we mostly stay in the 90s. We’re kind of predictable that way. And even though this episode will flop now, audiences will begin to appreciate it years down the road.
