Episode 72: Baconsale-Approved Restroom Etiquette

To kick off a potential series of etiquette-related episodes, we decided to first come up with a list of Baconsale-approved public restroom rules that everyone should follow. Kent, Joel and Jacob (but mostly Kent) discuss proper protocol and pet peeves in the men's room. Plus, they even talk about generally accepted behavior for the women's restroom, as well, with the help of our female listener.

Why did we choose to start this series with a bathroom episode? Well, that was Kent's idea. However, Joel gave Kent strict orders to stay away from toilet humor -- which is ironic considering Joel is the one who ends up crossing the line of family friendliness at one point.

So whether you're listening to this episode in the bathroom, the restroom, the water closet or the powder room, enjoy the acoustics of this episode of Baconsale!

Episode 71: End of 2016 Movie Preview

With a mediocre summer movie season winding to a close, it's time for Baconsale to look to the future and discuss the rest of the films coming out in 2016. ‪#‎CreepyKent‬ is off in la la land picking hipster choices, Joel is distracted by Halloween and Jacob is sewing his Amish roots back home, so he's not even there. No worries, though, we brought on our good friend Sean Peek to fill in for him.

So press play and find out what films we're looking forward to during the fall and winter of 2016, which movies we want to bomb and if Kent still dares to be the villain.

Episode 70: Mary Lou Retton and the Golden Snitch

On your mark, get set, podcast! We go for the gold this time and get a real, live sports radio personality to join us! Alex Kirry from KSL is here to challenge Joel and Kent in an Olympic challenge! We're not doing anything that would be physically challenging, though, that would be ridiculous. Instead, Jacob has created a quiz to test the others' knowledge of the Olympics. Along the way, we learn a thing or two about Quidditch, poodle clipping and Indian clubs.

So press play and do your nation proud by listening to this episode of Baconsale!

Episode 69: Suicide Squad Review

We've been talking about this movie since the very first episode of Baconsale, and now the time is finally here for us to review Suicide Squad. As always, Mr. J, Mr. J and Mr. K start off with a spoiler-free review. It's not until around 30 minutes in that we get into spoiler territory.

Is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn everything we dreamed she would be? Where does Jared Leto fall in the ranking of actors who play The Joker? Is Will Smith too Will Smith-y for his role as Deadshot? Find out all this and more by pressing play on this episode of Baconsale!

Side note: Kent's already changed his grade a little

Episode 68: This Show Is Overrated!

Get ready, The Listener, because you're about to experience the best episode of Baconsale, nay, the best episode of any podcast, ever! Ok, that may be overselling it, but today we're talking about overrated stuff. We've created a list of random categories (such as fast-food restaurants, superhero TV shows, horror movies, 90s bands, video games, albums and more) and it's up to Kent and Joel to offer their vote for the most overrated person, place or thing in each category.

We know we're going to tick some people off with our answers, but, hey, that's what Baconsale does best!

Episode 67: Pokémon - Gotta Teach 'Em All!

We wanna be the very best and understand Pokémon, which is why we've invited Collin Willams, the Poké Professor onto our show -- and it's super effective! Collin begins at the basics of Pokémon (for Joel's sake), and then talks about how it went from a simple role-playing video game about pocket monsters to the augmented reality mobile app and worldwide phenomenon it has become. Along the way, we learn some tips and tricks about how to play Pokémon Go and we learn about how we're all geeks in one form or another.

So yell "Baconsale, I choose you!" and fling your Poké Ball at your screen to get started...or just press play.

Episode 66: All-Female Ghostbusters' All-Male Review

The power of Patty compels you to listen to this podcast!

Kent, Joel and Jacob must be chauvinist, misogynist sexists because, in this episode, they dare to objectively question whether the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters is a good film or not. However, this is so much more than a simple movie review. In fact, we spend the first half of this episode talking about the controversy surrounding this remake and we discuss what films should never be remade. It's not until around the 38-minute mark that we actually begin our spoiler-free review of the new Ghostbusters film and it's not until 54 minutes in that we get into spoiler territory.

So even if you haven't seen the movie yet, you can still enjoy the majority of this episode of Baconsale. If you don't enjoy it, then you obviously hate men.

Episode 65: Steven Spielberg and the Raters of the Lost Art

Hold on to your butts, The Listener! Since Steven Spielberg is, without a doubt, one of the top ten film directors of all time, Kent and Joel have decided to each make a list of their top ten Spielberg movies. This means something. This is important.
And lest you think we're gonna need a bigger podcast, we actually manage to get through both of our lists during one episode. Plus, we even throw in some random Spielberg trivia along the way, and discuss if the world famous director, producer, screenwriter and editor still has what it takes to reel in the crowds or not.
Either way, by listening to this podcast you have chosen...wisely.

Episode 64: Tournament of Disney Villains (Final Round)

We think it's time to say goodbye to Prince Abubu...er, our Tournament of Disney villains as we wrap up our bracket of bad guys. Joel and Kent have brought their best (and most desperate) arguments for who they think should advance in each round. We use our wits, we use our logic and we don't underestimate the importance of body language. In this episode, you'll hear us debate fights such as Gaston vs. Captain Hook, Maleficent vs. Governor Ratcliffe and Ursula vs. Chernabog.

The discussion gets pretty heated at times, and you may call us a codfish because of some of our decisions, but we hope you enjoy this finale of our tournament of animated antagonists.

Episode 63: Tournament of Disney Villains (Part 2)

Name's Baconsale, Lord of the Dead. Hi, how ya doin'? 

Now look, we tried to finish our Disney Villain tournament this episode, but certain battles took longer than others for some. odd reason. So Kent and Joel were only able to get through one more round of the bracket And if that doesn't scare you, no evil thing will. Nevertheless, you're sure to be entertained with such epic match-ups as Hades vs. Jafar, Ursula vs. The Horned King and, yes, Hopper vs. The Stabbington Brothers.
So get ready to yell "Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles!" at us as we plow through yet another Disney-villain-themed episode of Baconsale. Plus, you can download your own bracket and play along at Baconsale.com
