BaconBit: Baconsale Fixes the Oscars

Posted on by Joel

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced the creation of a new category to honor Black Panther—uh, we mean to honor “achievement in popular film.” However, this popularity contest at the Academy Awards is not sitting well with Baconsale, so Kent, Joel and Jacob have decided to rant about it. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We also offer up some potential solutions for the Oscars, as their TV ratings tumble and they flounder around for a fix.

Press play to hear a bunch of film snobs complain about a bunch of film snobs.

What’s up, guys? Today Baconsale is gonna be talking about YouTube, and how it’s more than just a platform for sharing funny cat videos.

Kent and Joel are each ready to share a list of five channels they subscribe to in order to get you started on the path of ultimate “internetainment.”

Baconsale Episode 164: Taking Time to Talk Trilogies

Posted on by Joel

Today on Baconsale we’re talking film trilogies, and we’ll be breaking the episode into three distinct sections:

Part 1 – Movies that didn’t really need a sequel, but somehow became a trilogy.
Part 2 – Sequels that were better than the original film.
Part 3 – Third movies in a trilogy that killed the franchise—at least for a while.

Kent and Joel have agreed on a trio of choices for each section and are ready to debate, discuss and share random facts about their picks in triplicate.

Count to three and press play. It’s time for Baconsale!

Baconsale Episode 163: Man Crush Monday

Posted on by Joel

Hey girl, we know you like it when Kent, Joel and Jacob are a little uncomfortable, which is why Baconsale is dedicating an entire episode to man crushes. Why? We’re not sure. It was Kent’s idea. But it was also Kent’s idea to invite Lindsay, our special guest, onto the show. She’s here to add some female perspective and to pick winners for categories such as Classically Handsome, Best Chris, Hottest Athlete, Silver Fox, Best Smile, Guy Next Door and Sexiest “Sexiest Man Alive.”

So grab some cocoa butter, oil up those abs and press play to hear us discuss dapper dudes.

BaconBit: Ant-Man and the Wasp Review

Posted on by Joel

Now that the dust has settled from Avengers: Infinity War, it’s time for Baconsale to talk about Marvel’s next installment: Ant-Man and the Wasp. Last time Ant-Man was on the big screen, it wasn’t exactly beloved by Kent, Joel and Jacob, but will this sequel (and Paul Rudd’s charm) win them over? Even if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you can still listen to the first eight minutes—they’re spoiler free.

Grow up (or shrink down) and press play! It’s time to enter the quantum realm of movie reviews!
