Baconsale

The summer season is officially over, which means it’s time to turn our attention to the films that will be coming out at the end of this year. Joel and Kent have each picked five movies they’re wanting to see along with five flicks they want to bomb. Kent is predictably a hipster in his choices and even selects some straight-to-streaming options, while Joel, makes some ridiculous fake picks and, at times, lets the hate flow through him.

Double tap that play button—it’s time to listen to these jokers.

Do you get Michael Cera mixed up with Jesse Eisenberg sometimes? Did you enjoy Amy Adams’ performance in Wedding Crashers? Have you ever wondered how Sawyer from Lost landed a starring role as Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones? Well, then, this is the episode for you! Today Kent and Joel are discussing popular doppelgängers with our special guest, Steven Ross. We’ve got 20 pairs of celebrities who often get confused for one another, and we’re going to pick which twin wins each round.

Look to your left, look to your right, then press play to hear about famous lookalikes.

It’s a beautiful day in the Baconcave, a beautiful day for a podcast. Won’t you be our listener? Today on Baconsale we’re talking educational television programs for kids. This includes TV shows our children watch today as well as ones from our childhood. Can you say “nostalgia”? And, like a butterfly in the sky, Kent and Joel flit & flutter from category to category, picking good, bad and strange series for each one.

After listening to the previous What Would Baconsale Do episodes, everyone's favorite clinical psychologist, Dr. Matt, is back to give a final analysis of Kent, Joel and Jacob. And in order to make these findings more relatable to those three, Dr. Matt lets them know which Star Wars character they are, as well as which Disney Princess they're most like. Plus, Jacob has a few questions to ask about what would make them break off a possible engagement.

If you like chicken nuggets then you gotta listen to this episode of Baconsale. Kent, Joel and Jacob have eaten chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, chicken fingers, chicken stars, chicken strips, chicken rings, chicken fries, boneless wings and popcorn chicken from 14 different fast food restaurants and they're ready to present their results. We used a matrix and math and to rank the taste, quality, breading, sauce and re-buyability of each poultry product. It's not speculation, it's Baconscience.

Amazon! On this episode of Baconsale, we would like to introduce you to the bizarre world of Kamen Rider, a popular Japanese TV show that has been running since the 1970s. Not familiar with the Kamen Rider series? Neither were we. Our special guest, Nicole, requested this episode and had Kent, Joel and Jacob watch an entire season of Amazon Riders in preparation. Join us as we try to understand the Rider mythology, level up on our geekiness and reference everything from Power Rangers to Twilight to The Walking Dead.

And Baconsale is ready to go the distance and officially declare who the ultimate winner is in this second & final installment of our tournament of Disney heroes. But which is more powerful: Merlin's magic or Esmeralda's charms? Is Elastigirl going to stretch herself too thin? Will Ariel show Jasmine a whole new world of pain?

We've all had enough time to finish the latest season of Netflix's Stranger Things, right? Good. Let's talk about it. During this BaconBit, we'll do our best to stay focused on season three and not talk about the series as a whole—we're saving that for another time. And we'll also keep the first part of this review spoiler-free, so even if you haven't finished it yet (like Jacob) you can still hear and appreciate our overall thoughts and feelings about our most recent journey to Hawkins, Indiana.
