BaconBit: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Review

Hello, Listener! This BaconBit is from another dimension where Kent & Joel are the only hosts of Baconsale. Okay, in reality, Zack hasn’t seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness yet, so he left to avoid any spoilers. However, the first 15 minutes of our review is spoiler-free, so he could have stuck around, if he wanted to. But does this latest installment of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe create too much madness? Or will it strangely please one of the MCU’s most vocal critics?

BaconBit: Team Listener vs. Team JK (2022)

With a new Listener crowned, it’s time for all three contestants to combine their forces against the undefeated-ish Team JK. Listen as Zack tests who has the quicker buzzer finger and the most correct answers on TV trivia, video game history, literary queries, chess facts, and far too many math questions (according to Joel & Kent). Will Team JK prove their dominance once again? Or will Team Listener rise to the occasion?

Episode 350: Our 350th Episode!

Now that we’ve passed Supernatural in number of episodes, it’s time for Baconsale to celebrate our anniversary show! Spencer, the former Listener, has graciously resigned from his position. This left a power vacuum, which is being courageously contended for by three respectable replacements: Valerie, Mark, and Chad. Listen as we quiz our contestants on highest-grossing movies, Behind the Bacon trivia, chiptune covers, poorly sung one-hit wonders, and of course, the game of Baconsale.

Episode 349: 2022 Summer Movie Preview

Summer just gets earlier and earlier in theaters, doesn’t it? On this episode of Baconsale, we’re going to guide you through the next four months or so, and let you know which movies we’re excited for and which movies we want to bomb (and have wanted to bomb for the past couple years). We’ll be spiteful, we’ll be hopeful, and occasionally some breaking news bulletins come across our desk. Does Kent’s love for A24 have any boundaries? Is Jordan Peele the new M. Night Shyamalan? Are our picks going to be released in theaters or on streaming? Does anyone remember Marcel the Shell with Shoes On?

 

Nope. Press play!

Episode 348: Twinner Winner – More Song Titles

We had so much fun putting similarly titled songs head-to-head last time, that we’ve decided to do another 22 rounds of mini musical matchups. And this time, Baconsale is going to prove how hip they are to kids’ music these days, because we’re including such hits as “All I Want,” “Dynamite,” “Somebody to Love,” and “Sugar.” We’ll try our best to not confuse you about which song we’re talking about, but we can’t guarantee that Zack will use words like triple and quadruple—that’s just too easy. We’ll also retire a couple songs, and we all get kicked off the show at some point.

Episode 347: Look Who’s Talking about Bruce Willis

We’re going The Whole Nine Yards on this episode of Baconsale and discussing everything from when Bruce Willis was The Kid with the stutter to our shattered feelings about Glass. Joel, Kent, and our friend Emily are going to pick answers for 12 Monkeys, er… 10 categories from Bruce’s many film & TV roles, based on The Sixth Sense we each have. Sometimes we’re Split, and our picks are Unbreakable, so we’ll Die Hard before we agree with the others. Other times, our choices are taken Hostage by other Bandits at the table, which pushes us Over the Hedge, and we start seeing RED. Either way, we hope you accept us as your Surrogates for making these decisions.

Episode 346: Baconsale-Approved Restaurant Etiquette

Hi, welcome to Baconsale! How many are in your party? On this episode, we’re discussing dining etiquette, with Kent offering the dating perspective, Joel speaking as a parent of many children, and Zack giving his thoughts as a former food service employee (and table tickler). We’re also going to read some of your recommended restaurant rules and let you know which ones we think are well-done and which opinions are rare. Plus, we’ll supply you with pro dining tips and discuss which eating establishments are collar-worthy.

BaconBit: The Pet Show

It’s time you got to know Baconsale a little better, because we’ve invited some special guests on this BaconBit: our pets! Listen as Cruz, Quigley, and Stella speak the truth about their respective owners, while Kent, Joel, and Zack just have to sit there and take it. Our canine and feline guests don’t stay for very long, though, because they’ve got places to go and people to sniff. However, we hope you enjoy this brief insight into our lives on the first day of April.

BaconBit: And the 2022 Oscar Winners Are…

The Academy Awards have been hit hard with low ratings lately, which has been quite a blow to Hollywood’s ego. However, this year’s Oscars clapped back and scored the second-lowest viewership ever! They think they deserve a pat on the back (or face), but we’re going to critique how the ceremony went, even when things went out of whack. Joel, Kent, and Zack are going to attack their predictions from the past and punch up this dry BaconBit with a little bit of humor and some smack talk. We’re going to strike every award category and announce each winner, along with the winner among Baconsale hosts, and the winner of our 94th Academy Award listener ballot bash.

Episode 345: The Song of Songs! (Tournament Finals)

Don’t Stop Believin’ that this Baconsale episode is going to be a Thriller, because we’re going to finish our quest to find the One song to rule them all. And while some of this music gives us Good Vibrations and makes us want to be a Dancing Queen, other tunes are barely Livin’ on a Prayer and will sink Like a Stone and take the Stairway to Heaven. What a Wonderful World it is, listener, because of the song submissions you gave us. We couldn’t have done this tournament With or Without You.
