Baconsale Episode 155: My Bae Michael Bay

Posted on by Joel

Okay, listener, this show is your fault. You voted and have forced us do an episode where we have to defend Michael Bay, even though we may not want to. Kaboom! However, Kent and Joel brought in Dan Farnsworth, a friend of the show and a legitimate fan of movies like Transformers, The Rock, The Island, Bad Boys and even Pearl Harbor to help us stay positive and not constantly point out how this director’s movies are often nothing but car chases, CGI and explosions. Kaboom!

So crank up the epic music, throw in some lens flares and press that play button in slow motion. Kaboom!

Baconsale Episode 151: The Baconsale Necessities

Posted on by Joel

Let’s get down to business! It’s time for Baconsale to talk about (and sing about) Disney music. For this episode, we have created a list of categories such as best villain song, most irritating song, saddest song and song that is better than the movie. After some reflection, Kent and Joel must go the distance and pick a winner for each one. Meanwhile, Jacob must be feeling the love tonight because he is very generous with his point giving.

Want to play along? Be our guest! Press play and become part of our world. However, if we don’t pick the Disney song you would have picked, just let it go.

BaconBit: Too Many Spoilers

Posted on by Joel

Kent and Joel have different approaches when it comes to upcoming movies. Joel is satisfied with watching one film trailer, whereas Kent likes to dig in, read articles, check out leaked set photos and possibly read the screenplay beforehand. But which way is right? Do you enjoy a movie more if you know less about it? Or would you rather get the whole story in advance?

Press play to hear the back and forth between these two styles of movie-watching preparation, and to hear Joel give Kent a daunting challenge.
