Chats with Chuck

Guest:
Movies: Contraband
Formats:


Charles St. Michael is a man that speaks his mind. In this episode of the Mafia where he gets Grae all to himself, he discusses what he thinks of Marky Mark, Contraband, Kate Beckinsale's highlights, and pronouncing Jean Claude's last name like a real French person. This is an incredibly swear-rific episode that should only make you want to hear more Chuck, which you can do right here.
 
1st Annual Fantasy Movie Draft
Date: January 16, 2012
Guest:
Formats:


Everybody knows that as you advance in years, you have to put more effort into getting your kicks. So it only serves to reason that someone like Justin Winters, a married man of two years, would come up with an idea that tortures his poor wife Krissy and confounds Grae. He brought his seething masculinity into the studio to help guide them through a Fantasy Movie Draft, where they will create teams designed to sweep the Golden Globes and Oscars…and allow them to hold the title of BEST BACKSEAT FILMMAKER EVER OF ALL TIME ALWAYS (until next year).

In the first show of the last year of everyone's life, Witney Siebold and FozzieBare join forces to give you a dazzling glance into their psyches and what they're excited for this year cinematically. Among things mentioned: what kind of seller ratings people get on ebay, what Jennifer Lawrence told Kristen Stewart at her birthday party, and how youtube can burn an image of the Olsen twins into your head that you'll never forget. Also, Grae gets a little overexcited about a box--what else is new?

The original goal for the show was to discuss Hugo with Robbie Rist and Jose Prendes...in reality, it's more of a conversation about Jose's kickstarter for his webseries BED BUGS, why they hate/love Human Centipede 2, how Robbie hates Chris Martin of Coldplay, and how Grae is so rich, she knows things about paper money that you'll never believe. No really, you'll never believe it.

This week, the men who are making movie criticism cool again are storming into the studio to make sure Grae knows what they think about robots and boxing.

This week's two movies have a tenuous link between them, and generous and talented guests Soren McCarthy and Will Phillips milk them for all they're worth.

Burning Man fans beware, your event comes under fire...but you're in good company with the Klingons.
