Has Kent finally found a Marvel movie that he likes? Is this movie Disney enough for Joel? Does Jacob agree with Steve Rogers, or is he Team Iron Man? It's time to find out. Pick a side and press play!

On this episode of Baconsale we chat with Abe Yospe (aka @Cheeseboy22) about Twitter stardom and how it has brought him fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams -- or, at least, a retweet from Judd Apatow. Abe teaches us about proper tweeting etiquette, advises us on how to gain more followers and he talks about what it's like to not own a cell phone. Plus, along the way, we learn a thing or two about social media in general.
So press play and listen to four characters talk about the world of 140 characters!

You know it's hard out there for a critic. In this episode of Baconsale, Kent, Joel and Jacob discuss contemporary film criticism and its effect on modern society's opinion regarding media arts.
Wow! That sounded really grown up and boring. Let's try that again: In this episode, Kent spends the whole time talking about himself and bashing on Rotten Tomatoes while Joel makes fun of him for it. There. That's much better.
Give it a listen and then let us know your opinion in the comments section below because, as we all know, online comments sections are where the most reasonable and enlightening discussions happen.

Yes, thanks to your generous donations, Kent, Joel and Jacob were actually able to meet Kate Beckinsale at Salt Lake Comic Con! Yes, it was truly an amazing experience and we are very excited (maybe too excited) to tell you all about it. And yes, this BaconBit is almost as long as a regular episode - we can deal with it, if you can deal with it.

Tell me, do you Baconsale? You will. Especially when we're reviewing one of the most anticipated movies of the year, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. If you haven't seen it, don't worry, you can still listen to the first 20 minutes -- it's completely free of spoilers. After that, the gloves and the cowls come off and we openly discuss the movie and its plot points.
Will Kent, the DC fan boy, finally be satisfied with a superhero ensemble movie? Will Joel, the Man of Steel basher, enjoy this Zack Snyder sequel? Will Jacob, the guy who watched The Force Awakens, be able to express his opinion of this movie? Press play and find out!

What happens when you quiz a couple of movie geeks on sports trivia? You're about to find out. It's time for you to feel like a champion compared to Kent and Joel as they fumble around for the answers to a relatively simple sport-themed quiz created by our returning special guest, Mark. Jacob is there, too, as the smug scorekeeper who pretends that he knows all of the answers.
Press play and get your ringside seats, because our gloves are off, there are no holds barred and it comes down to the wire (those are sporty terms, right?) on this athletically challenged episode of Baconsale!
Also, this is your last chance to donate to the very worthy cause of sending Baconsale to meet Kate Beckinsale!

Instead of judging movies in this episode, Baconsale is judging casting directors...and each other. Kent and Joel have each created a list of the top five and bottom five superhero casting choices. Who does Joel think would make a good Catwoman? Does Kent like Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman? Does Jacob think that Nicholas Cage would have been the better choice? Press play and find out!
Also, time is running out for you to be able to donate to our Send Baconsale to Meet Beckinsale fund. We're this close to getting Sarah McLachlan to be in a commercial about it. https://www.gofundme.com/baconsale
