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: A Wrinkle in Time Review

Posted on by Joel

What? Two BaconBit episodes in one week? We must love you, listener. OR…Kent and Joel really, really wanted to talk about the new A Wrinkle in Time movie. But why? Did they feel like it was a beautiful adaptation of a beloved novel finally brought to the silver screen? Or did they find this film to be a huge mess of color, CGI and close-ups that is doomed to fail? Only Giant Space Oprah knows for sure.

Baconsale Episode 145: This Show is Underrated!

Posted on by Joel

About 77 episodes ago we discussed some of the most overrated things on the planet. Now, however, Baconsale is going the opposite direction—we’re talking about underrated things. No, Kent, we don’t mean guilty pleasures and no, we don’t want your hipster picks, either (he has a hard time with that). Our categories today include undervalued boy band members, sitcoms, disco songs, Disney sidekicks, kids TV shows and more!

And we hope you never underestimate how much we love it when you hit that play button!
