Baconsale

You wanted Baconsale to show off its softer side and discuss romantic movies? As you wish. Kent and Joel will have you at hello as they talk about their favorite rom-coms, rom-zom-coms and dramas. And Jacob completes us by throwing in a romantic comedy quiz.
Don’t forget we're just a podcast, standing in front of a listener, asking them to press play.

Let's get together, yeah, yeah, yeah and talk about live-action Disney movies. From The Shaggy Dog to Cinderella, we've hand-selected a variety of non-animated Disney movies to discuss and put into tiers. On the way, we hit some detours regarding Kent's disturbing upbringing and Joel's obsession with nannies.
We couldn't fit all of the live-action Disney films into one show, though, so we're going to have to do a part 2 someday soon. So grab on to your bedknobs and your broomsticks, dig up Old Yeller and press play 'cause, it's a jolly holiday with Baconsale!

Prepare yourselves for a 90s sci-fi flashback on this episode of Baconsale! Kent teams up with the Scoobies and has chosen Buffy the Vampire Slayer as his champion. While Joel tries to open everyone's eyes to the truth that The X-Files is the superior television show, despite what the government might tell you.
Pick a side! It's vampires versus aliens, demons versus conspiracies and mini skirts versus pantsuits in this small screen showdown!

Look into the crystal ball. The boys of Baconsale will predict the future of pop culture for you. The results might be as foggy as a Magic 8 Ball, but you can always ask again later. 

In this episode, Kent and Joel discuss what they're looking forward to in 2016, and we make some predictions as well -- some more ridiculous than others. We talk about movies, TV, video games, restaurants, celebrities and more. Be prepared, though, Jacob actually shows some emotion in this episode, which surprises all of us.

Crack open that fortune cookie and let's see what's in store for 2016!

We're back! And we're starting season two of Baconsale by discussing the best and worst movies of 2015. Kent, the traditionalist, limits his picks to movies that were actually released in theaters in 2015, whereas Joel, the loose cannon, allows any movie he watched for the first time in the past year on his list.
We're happy to have escaped the clutches of Krampus and we hope you enjoy this latest episode of Baconale!
WARNING: Joel spoils a movie from 1931, despite violent protests from Kent and Jacob.

In December of 2015, four podcasters disappeared in the area near the Wasatch Front while recording the season one finale of Baconsale, which is a review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Days later their audio recording was found, uploaded and posted on various social media sites.

 

Note: The first 30 minutes are spoiler-free.

Do you hear what I hear? Baconsale is talking about Christmas music! From the classic folk songs we all know by heart, to the modern holiday cash grabs we wish we could forget, Joel and Kent pick a winner for each festive category and then defend their choice. Plus, unlike most of our other episodes, we play actual songs instead of just singing them ourselves! You're welcome!
So warm up some hot cocoa, snuggle into your favorite blanket and just listen to the podcast roar, 'cause baby it's cold outside.

You'll find the Spotify playlist of songs & albums we discussed on this episode at Baconsale.com.

Baconsale is very excited to review the most anticipated film of December 2015! No, not that one. No, not that one, either. We're reviewing Krampus! Remember Krampus? Krampus is the movie that Kent, Joel and Jacob have mentioned in every episode since September. It's the story of a half-man, half-goat demon that terrorizes people who stop believing in Christmas. If that doesn't fill you with the holiday spirit, what will?

 

Krampus!

 

Don't worry if you haven't seen Krampus yet – the first ten minutes are spoiler-free.

What's this? What's this?
A Baconsale debate?
It is!
Will Kent unleash his hate?
Of course!
Which holiday can claim Tim Burton's movie?
Hurry! Listen! Don't be late!
Press play!

Oh there's no place like Baconsale for the holidays. And since we like to rank things (and tick off The Listener), we have decided to rank our top 10 holidays of the year. Can Kent find something he cares about? Does Joel find the true meaning of Christmas? Does Jake only know how to celebrate national holidays by blowing stuff up? Listen and let us know if you agree with Joel's list, with Kent's list or if we're wrong altogether. If you don't like it, you can make like Arbor Day and leave.
