Baconsale

It's time to decide which bad guy will be left standing after the dust settles in our Tournament of Villains! In this episode, we finish what we started as we plow through three rounds of match-ups. You'll hear us debate The Joker vs. Lex Luthor, Magneto vs. Galactus and Darth Vader vs. Dark Helmet. And, if you listen very closely, you might hear the moment when Kent gets slightly agitated at one of the decisions. It's subtle, but it's there.
Plus, just like last time, you can print off your own bracket at Baconsale.com and play along with us at home!

Heroes get all the glory, it's time for the villains to have some fun. In this episode, we pit the baddest of the bad guys against each other in a fight to the death (a la The Hunger Games) to see who comes out on top. When Kent and Joel agree (which does happen on occasion), the victorious villain automatically advances to the next round. Should they disagree, it's up to Jacob to decide who made the best argument. 
Part 1 includes such epic battles as Poison Ivy vs. The Shredder, T-1000 vs. Ultron and Darth Maul vs. the Balrog.

Let the sky fall! It's time for a new Bond-themed episode of Baconsale. In this episode, Kent, Joel and Jacob discuss how Daniel Craig seems to be handling the current Bond franchise, and why the role of 007 hasn't seemed to give Craig his very own quantum of solace. We also place our bets at the Casino Royale regarding who could be the next James Bond, and pitch our ideas for a future Bond movie, when the spectre of Craig has faded.
For you, the listener, we have to risk it all -- 'cause the writing's on the waaaaaaaaaaall!

Good evening, Mr. Bond. Welcome to the BaconBit. What's a BaconBit, you ask? It's like our regular show, but much shorter. In this mini-episode, we give our review of Spectre, the new James Bond film. Don't worry, the first 10 minutes are spoiler-free. However, after that, I'm afraid you'll find our conversation to be much more. . .open. 

Now that we've introduced the BaconBit, Mr. Bond, you've probably guessed our next step: WORLD DOMINATION! And there's nothing you can do to stop it.

As world-famous podcasters, Baconsale knows what it's like to have a crazy fan (thanks for listening, listener)! In this episode Kent, Joel and Jacob talk about the most annoying fandoms in the entertainment industry. We discuss whether we'd rather sit next to a Twi-Hard or a Belieber on a long flight, and which fanbase is more likely to attack when provoked. Plus, there is some self-reflection, as well, as we look at ourselves as fans of things like Firefly and Doctor Who.

Get ready to scream (at us or with us), fanboys and fangirls, it's time for Baconsale!

It's heeeeere! Our final Halloween episode of the month! Do you like scary movies? We sure do! And the Baconsale team will guide you through the netherworld of horror films and let you know which ones are worth watching. We discuss the best paranormal movies, the best horror movies to watch on a date, the scariest movies for kids and many more categories. Plus, Jacob is there to quiz Kent and Joel on their scary movie savviness. 
So place Mother in the cellar, put on your hockey mask, dish up some fava beans with a nice chianti and enjoy this latest episode of Baconsale. Oh, and whatever you do, don't fall asleep. Don't even blink.

Sweet! It's a candy-themed episode of Baconsale! 

Kent, Joel and our special guest, Dan, rank and review a variety of Halloween treats that could end up in your trick-or-treating bucket -- or pillowcase, if that's the way you (Tootsie) roll. So whether you crave chocolate, you fancy fruit snacks or you long for licorice, this episode is sure to cause some comical confectionery conflict.

This is one Whopper of a show that you can enjoy Now & Later.

Do you know why you're afraid when you're alone? We do. . .we do. . .

This episode of Baconsale features our very special guest, Dr. Matt Woolley. Dr. Matt is a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. in Clinical-Community Psychology and he's a professor at the University of Utah. . .so of course we had to ask him about movie monsters.

We try and find out what makes Freddy tick, what's going on behind Jason's hockey mask and if there's any chance of rehabilitation for Michael Myers. Along the way, we discuss why people enjoy being scared, if watching horror movies can mess you up, and Joel, Kent and Jacob reveal some of their deepest and darkest fears. It's fun for the whole family (psychologist)!

Now that 2015 is winding down to a close, Baconsale wants to make sure that you know what movies you should see (besides Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens). Joel, Kent and Jacob discuss what films they are excited for (aside from Star Wars 7) and surprise each other with their choices (except for The Force Awakens, we all knew that was coming). Let us prepare you for the fall/winter/end of 2015 (and Star Wars), Baconsale-style!

WARNING! Kent says a naughty word in this episode! We're not going to repeat it here, but it's part the title of a Quentin Tarantino movie that rhymes with "Dinglourious Dasterds."
