Episode 10: Lost and Found in Translation
Monday Jun 08, 2015
Monday Jun 08, 2015
In this episode, we talk about the the TV shows that made a successful leap to the big screen, as well as those that belly flopped into the pool of shame. Plus, the Baconsale boys pitch their own ideas for new movies based on TV series, and try to repair the damage that M. Night Shyamalan has done to Nickelodeon. Shame on you, Manoj (that's M. Night's first name)!

Episode 9: This Show is a Disaster!
Monday Jun 01, 2015
Monday Jun 01, 2015
The natural disaster movie genre might be the worst that Hollywood has to offer. In this episode, we list the best volcanoes, tsunamis, best heroes and best deaths in disaster flicks. There can be only one survivor as we compete in disaster trivia. Also, the winner gets free mediocre tacos.
Don't get Left Behind. Instead, join us as we attempt to do The Impossible and make a Deep Impact in The Core of these special-effect heavy flicks.

Episode 8: Simon Pegg and the Death of Mainstream Geek Culture
Monday May 25, 2015
Monday May 25, 2015
In this episode, we talk about Simon Pegg and his controversial comments about the state of geekdom. It seems that the lord of the geeks has finally grown up. We debate whether Pegg has truly left the fold or if he is tired of the watered-down commercialization.
Throughout the show: Kent plays Nostradamus and predicts the fatigue and end of superhero flicks. Joel feels that the truly memorable dramas are now on TV, instead of the big screen. Jacob apparently hates John Travolta. Find out why this is all important in the latest episode of Baconsale!

Episode 7: Ranking Disney Part 1 (When You Wish Upon a Tier)
Monday May 18, 2015
Monday May 18, 2015
In the first of, what's to be, many Disney episodes, we rank Disney animated features into three tiers. In this episode, Kent tries to dispute that jazz music has no place in Disney flicks. Joel doesn't mind breaking the hearts of girl squirrels. We spend at least five minutes trying to pronounce Notre Dame correctly. Along the way, we have a fever dream about pink elephants on parade.

Episode 6: The Fan & the Furious
Tuesday May 12, 2015
Tuesday May 12, 2015
We throw physics out the window as we bring in our very first guest. To say that Mark is an avid fan of the Fast & Furious franchise is a frightening and factual understatement. Join us as he tries to preach about the gospel of Paul and Vin to Joel, who plans to never watch the highly profitable series. Even though you only hear about two lines from Jake, we swear he was there the entire time.

Episode 5: Summer Movie Preview
Tuesday May 05, 2015
Tuesday May 05, 2015
In this episode we talk about the movies (or "films," as the film snobs say) that each of us are most excited for this summer.
Joel is excited about his usual money-driven flicks.
Kent talks about films that truly matter, but you've probably never heard of them.
And Jacob mostly just agrees with Kent so they can stay best buddies.
Let us prepare you for the summer of 2015, Baconsale-style!

Episode 4: Civil War
Thursday Apr 30, 2015
Thursday Apr 30, 2015
With all the strife in the world, who doesn't want to hear two grown men fight about comic book movies?
That is clearly a hypothetical question, because everyone should.
Listen to the latest show as the Baconsale boys review Avengers: Age of Ultron. As can be expected, there are extremely differing opinions and things get a little heated. If you listen long enough, you'll hear Kent hulk out and almost punch someone.
Even if you haven't seen the movie, it's okay to listen. We avoid spoilers like Joss Whedon avoids cinematographers.

Episode 3: Achievement Unlocked! Out of Your Depth
Monday Apr 27, 2015
Monday Apr 27, 2015
The Baconsale boys take some time off from fighting about movies so they can argue about television. Apparently they equate the amount of time of sitting on a couch and binging through shows to finding new depths. In this warped world, the more shows you complete, the more intellectual you are.
Join the guys as they choose the best reality, best escapism, most recommended and best show overall.
Spoiler alert...one of the group loves Married at First Sight.

Episode 2: Attack on My Childhood
Monday Apr 20, 2015
Monday Apr 20, 2015
With the recent premiere of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, the guys still manage to get excited about the future of the franchise, even though George Lucas hurt it beyond repair.
Listen as they debate which Star Wars movie is the worst of the series. Kent claims that there are few things worse than The Phantom Menace, while Joel thinks that Attack of the Clones is the clear winner/loser.
There's only one thing for sure, I've got a bad feeling about this.
