Baconsale

Cowabunga, dudes! 

Much like Michael Bay giving us a reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that we didn't ask for, we're giving you a review of this TMNT sequel that you didn't ask for!
Haven't seen the movie? No problem! In fact, some members of Baconsale would prefer you DIDN'T see this movie. Anyway, the first 10 minutes of this BaconBit are spoiler free. After that, Kent and Joel are going to openly share their feelings about this movie in a calm and respectful manner. Just kidding, they yell a lot.
Enjoy!

Let's go, bub! It's time for Baconsale to rank all eight of the X-Men films. However, it seems that Kent's and Joel's mutant ability is to disagree on which movie belongs where on their ranking charts. Joel angers Kent, Kent betrays Joel and Jacob just sits there and laughs at the two of them -- just like the supervillain he is.

We also briefly review X-Men: Apocalypse. Don't worry, it's a spoiler-free review. We don't even mention the part where Jean Grey is captured by Dumbledore and imprisoned in a cage in his office.

From Super Mario Bros. to The Angry Birds Movie, Hollywood just can't seem to make a decent movie that is based on a video game. Therefore, in this episode, Baconsale is talking about why most video game film adaptations fail both critically and commercially.

We also talk about the few hidden treasures in the vast wasteland of video game movies. They're not good movies, per se, but at least they don't make you want to gouge your eyes out. Plus, as an added bonus, Kent and Joel both pitch ideas for new films based on video games -- one of which is actually good.

So whether you're a fan of Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation. Xbox or PC gaming, you're sure to enjoy us mocking the terrible movies based on the games you love.

It seems that our time is up with Dr. Matt Woolley as the Baconsale crew finishes their discussion about superheroes with our favorite psychologist. 

In this, part two of the psychology of superheroes, we talk about specific Marvel and DC Comics characters and let Dr. Matt psychoanalyze a few of them, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine. Along the way, you may even learn a little about yourself, as well. We learned that Joel slurs his speech if he records too late and that Kent believes that great power requires great looks.

Our favorite clinical psychologist, Dr. Matt Woolley, is back! And this time Baconsale is talking to this educated man with a Ph.D. about our culture's current obsession with comic books and superhero movies. Well, Kent and Joel do most of the talking. Jacob is nursing a sore mouth, so he remains largely silent.

So press play and find out which graphic novels Dr. Matt likes, why DC fanboys hate Marvel fanboys and what your favorite superhero/supervillain may say about you on this episode of Baconsale.

Yes, we know that Baconsale Episode 4 is already titled "Civil War," but that title was actually referring to the war of opinions that Kent and Joel had regarding Avengers: Age of Ultron. This episode features our actual review of Captain America: Civil War. And yes, the first 15 minutes are spoiler free.

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!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! This episode is dedicated to you! From June Cleaver to Cersei Lannister, Baconsale is discussing the best and the worst maternal material that TV and film have to offer. Kent and Joel will answer such questions as who is the most inspirational fictional mother? Who is the most manipulative? Who is the scariest movie mom? Who is the funniest? Plus, along the way, Kent, Joel and Jacob discuss stories about their own mothers, as well.

If you love your mom, you'll press play and listen. And, if you don't, press play just to spite her.
