Baconsale

Yup! Yup! Yup! We're finishing our list of non-Disney animated movies! You see, our ranking shows are like onions, but instead of layers, they have tiers. And we're going to put 35 more films into their respective tier and have a fun time doing it! This time around we're including ones like Shrek, Anastasia, The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, Madagascar and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. I like to listen, listen! You like to listen, listen! We like to listen, listen! You need to…PRESS PLAY!

Yo quiero indigestion! Baconsale has done it again—we've eaten every single item on the Taco Bell menu. We tried that one thing that's made with a tortilla, meat & cheese, and that other thing that has a tortilla, meat & cheese and even the new one with a tortilla, meat & cheese. And now Kent, Joel and Jacob are going to rate and rank each of these unique fast food items in a series of categories. Let's see how long it takes them to make a bathroom-related joke (SPOILER ALERT! not long). Run for the border and press play! It's time for another beefy restaurant-themed episode of Baconsale.

Surprise! Jacob sprung a BaconBit on us! He asked Kent and Joel to discuss Disney's recent decision to pull all of their content from Netflix and create their own streaming service. Do the guys think this is a good idea? Or do they think it's a horrible plot by an evil corporation to squeeze the last drop of income from the poor viewer's pocket? Only time will tell, but that won't stop us from speculating.

Look, we all know everyone is looking forward to Justice League and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but what about the other films that are coming out before the end of the year? Kent and Joel have each brought a list of their top five most anticipated movies that have yet to come out, as well five flicks they want to flop. Plus, you'll get to hear Joel's movie trailer voice, Kent's real voice and Jacob's potty humor. So press play and let us guide you through the fall and winter of 2017.

The Reverse Listener sent out a survey with some of our biggest debate topics and arguments, and he finally let us see the results. So we’re going to talk about who you, the listener, think would survive the zombie apocalypse, who is the best Disney princess, who should have won the Hopper vs. Prince John battle and more! Press play and see what we had to say about what you had to say!

Great Scott! Baconsale is discussing time travel with our good friend Emily! We've each come to the table with some of our favorite time-traveling movies and TV shows and we try to put each of them into one of three categories: fixed, dynamic and multiverse. The discussion starts out a little science-y, and then it gets pretty geeky, but we do our best to be excellent to each other and we hope you enjoy it! Isn't it about time that you pressed play?

After Baconsale's last dating etiquette show, our friend Paige asked to come on the show in order to give a fresh, female, millennial perspective on courtship in the modern world. So here she is! And she brought along her friend Jordyn (and Courtney and Amelia) to discuss how dates have changed since Joel and Jacob were last in the game, as well as some tips for Kent to help him improve his game and not get murder-kidnapped. So, whether you're a man, a woman or "Bent Bunn" himself, press play and enjoy our latest episode!

Old McBaconsale had a podcast. E-I-E-I-O! And on this show, they have some guests! E-I-E-I-O! With a Lara here and a Jacob there. Here a Kent, there a Joel, and a silent Erin. Old McBaconsale had a podcast. E-I-E-I-O! This week we're hanging out with the ladies from the Life on the Rocks, Please podcast and Joel and Kent compete in a quiz all about farming and farm animals. If you think the premise sounds strange, you should listen to the actual episode! Quit horsing around and press play!

Think of us. Think of us fondly as we debate plays. We've brought along our special guest, Brittney, to pit The Phantom of the Opera against Les Misérables. At the end of the day/episode we'll declare which musical is best by discussing such categories as best characters, catchiest song and greatest (biggest?) legacy. Joel goes full theatre geek, Kent becomes everyone's favorite mutant uncle and all we ask of you is to listen to the music of the night and to play along. Who are we? Who are we? We're Baconsaaaaaaaaaaale!

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's ranking movies and tiering them tonight. And in this episode, Baconsale is discussing the animated features that didn't come from Disney. These are films from Don Bluth Productions, DreamWorks Animation, Illumination Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Sony and more. Joel can't stop singing, Kent can't stop making out during boring movies and Jacob puts the whole show in alphabetical order. Press play and see if we think everything is awesome!

Well, howdy there, pardner! Baconsale is ready to rustle up a discussion about some of our favorite Western movies. However, Kent and Joel aren't as well-versed in the world of cowboys, Indians, sheriffs, settlers, gamblers, bandits and bandanas (much to Jacob's delight), so they're also going to discuss the gaps in their knowledge and talk about the iconic Westerns they haven't seen. So get your John Wayne impersonation ready and saddle up your horses. It's time to listen to the latest episode of Baconsale!

Oh. Apparently Christopher Nolan directed another film, it seems? I guess we'll review it. Seriously, though, Kent has been waiting to review this movie since it was first announced two years ago. He's been so excited, he legally changed his name to "Kent Dunkirk." But will Nolan's latest project live up to his high expectations? And if Joel's opinion differs, will Kent murder him on the spot? Press play and find out! The first 16 minutes are spoiler-free!

Picking favorite movies is like picking favorite children for Baconsale, which is why we're playing another round of Cable, IMAX, Erase. In case you didn't hear the first episode, Jacob will present three movies and Kent and Joel will have to decide which movie they'll watch on repeat on TV, which movie they'll see once on the big screen and which one they'll delete from history. It basically turns into Joel and Kent torturing each other (SPOILER ALERT: Kent does eventually erase Batman v. Superman). Hurry and press play because we may have ticked off John Wick, so this could be our last episode…

Now that three different actors have played Spider-Man in the last 15 years, it's time for Baconsale to discuss who is the most amazing: Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire (a.k.a. Jerry Maguire). We'll debate who portrayed Peter Parker properly, which franchise featured the most fearsome foe and what movie moment made us the most misty-eyed. Now that we've got all of that alliteration out of our system, press play and enjoy this episode!

Baconsale! Baconsale! Does a BaconBit review whenever they feel like it! And today we're reviewing the latest Avengers-- er Web-Slinger movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Kent, Joel and Jacob all saw the film this time and they're ready to say whether this sequel to a franchise (that's also a reboot) is worth watching. And don't worry, webheads, the first 11 minutes are spoiler-free, so press play!

We the People of the Baconsale Podcast, in Order to form a more perfect Discord, establish our Ignorance, insure a lack of Tranquility, provide for your common amusement, promote the upcoming Holiday, and secure the Blessings of Points to ourselves from our Guest, Ryan Croker, do ordain and establish this Historical Quiz about the United States of America.

Listen up! Baconsale is once again discussing their favorite scores, soundtracks and composers! Jacob will give Kent and Joel a category (such as most overrated soundtrack, best electronic score and guilty pleasure) and they must each pick a winner for that category. Plus, as an added twist, they are not allowed to pick any of the music they used in our last Soundtrack & Feels episode (Episode 74). Joel makes Kent angry, Kent is a strangely predictable hipster and the whole thing comes off as a cheap knock-off of Braveheart, to be honest. Enjoy! Go to Baconsale.com for the Spotify playlist of the tracks (and feels) mentioned in this episode.

Okay, here we go. Focus… Speed.... Find your super suit (no capes!) and just keep swimming, because Baconsale is ranking Pixar movies to infinity and beyond! Or at least from Toy Story to Cars 3. Kent may hate most of these movies and Jacob may -- SQUIRREL! -- be apathetic, but if you're a fan, you've got a friend in Joel. TRIGGER WARNING: The Hopper argument rears its ugly head once again. Press play and enjoy each sappy and silly moment, because this episode will be over faster than you can say "Mike Wazowski."

Vroom! Vroom! Baconsale is ready to review the Cars sequel that may actually be worth talking about. It takes us a while to get on the right track/subject, but soon we're talking about Lightning McQueen's future, Doc Hudson's past and if there was enough Mater in this movie. Did Kent hate it? Did Joel love it? Did Jacob actually see it? Press play and find out!

Who's your TV daddy? Yikes. That sounded a little creepy. Speaking of disturbing things, in this episode we're making your favorite dads from various television shows battle it out in a hypothetical no-holds-barred fight to the death. And we actually get through our entire bracket and declare a winner in one episode! We've brought in everyone from Herman Munster to Homer Simpson to determine who is the toughest fictional father. And you can click the file below to play along with us as we debate and discuss another epic Baconsale tournament! Download Baconsale TV Dad Bracket

Join our expedition as we dig deep into The Mummy movie. Kent and Joel saw the new film (not Jacob, though -- Kent wouldn't let him go) and are ready to talk about if Tom Cruise successfully began the Dark Universe franchise, or if he just looks really, really good while doing so. As always, we keep all spoilers under wraps during the first 10 minutes, so you can listen even if you haven't seen the movie. After that point, you may curse us for all the details we unearth.

Hera, give us strength! Baconsale is talking about Wonder Woman in this episode. And we brought along our good friend and clinical psychologist, Dr. Matt, to help us figure out what makes Princess Diana of Themyscira tick. And since we're discussing Wonder Woman, we're of course going to bring up Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Lord of the Rings, Serenity and Star Wars. . . wait, what? We may get sidetracked a lot, but in the end, we finally give our review of the 2017 movie, complete with spoiler-free and spoiler-full sections. Strap on your bulletproof bracelets, adjust your tiara and hop in your invisible jet -- it's time for Baconsale!

Ooooh yeeaaah! We Can't Hardly Wait to rank the best and the worst high school movies! If you're Clueless about this genre, don't worry, we're here to help. Joel and Kent have each done Some Kind of Wonderful research, and are ready to Say Anything about these films. And while they may, at times, sound like a bunch of Mean Girls who have Never Been Kissed, we hope that you still give this episode an Easy A. Don't you forget about us! Press play so we can tell you more, tell you more!

Ahoy, matey! Here be the Baconsale review fer the fifth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Yarrrr! Shiver me timbers! Are you tired of all these pirate clichés yet? Then you may have something in common with the Baconsale crew. Will Jack Sparrow and his jokes save the movie? Or does it belong in the depths of Davy Jones' locker? Press play to find out! Be warned! The first 11 minutes are safe. After that, you're off the edge of the map, mate, because there be spoilers!

We're not entirely sure how, but Jacob tricked Kent and Joel into doing another episode where he asks them a bunch of bizarre hypothetical questions to test their psyches while further proving he's a psycho. During this round of psychological experiments/torture, Kent and Joel must answer such questions as who they would save in a viral apocalypse, which celebrity they would switch bodies with and, yes, "what's in the shopping cart" makes another appearance. Press play! Or don't. Because if people don't listen to this episode, we won't have to be subjected to these kind of personality tests anymore.

Have you ever gotten Deep Impact confused with Armageddon? Or mixed up A Bug's Life with Antz? If so, you're not alone! In this episode, we're pitting twin movies against each other in a series of versus battles, where we debate and decide which clone film is the stronger one. It's not always easy -- except for Jacob, who always sides with Kent -- but it's fun to watch Kent struggle as he has to defend things like Pixar and Despicable Me. And if you think we've done an episode like this before, you're wrong. It wasn't us. It was another podcast back in 1998.

Hey, are you busy right now? Because…we were wondering…if…uh…you wanted to listen to our podcast sometime? Now that Kent is single and entering the dating world once again, it's time for Baconsale to talk about proper date etiquette. We've gathered courting do's and don'ts from both guys and girls as well as horror stories from you, the listener. Along the way, we discuss topics such as the Joel's theme dates, Kent's creeping pinky and Jacob's mom. We'll see you on the doorstep at the end!

Ooga chaka! Ooga-ooga! Ooga chaka! Ooga-ooga! Ooga chaka! Ooga-ooga! Ooga chaka! Ooga-ooga! We can't stop reviewing - each Marvel movie. Kent, he won't stop bashing - on anything non-DC. When Joel tries to - share his thoughts on Groot - Kent interrupts him - says his views are moot. Ohhhhh! We're talking 'bout Guardians! Vol. 2 of the Guardians. The first bit's spoiler freeeee!

In a world where every movie seems to be a remake, a reboot or a sequel, three men will do their best to guide you through the cinematic minefield. Baconsale has created their lists of which films they're most excited for during the summer of 2017, as well as the movies they want to bomb. Joel admits some mistakes he's made in the past, Jacob references "growly pants," and Kent banishes both of them from movie screenings. Hurry and press play! The summer movie season is almost upon us!

Are you happy with how your favorite television show ended? Today Kent, Jacob and Joel are talking about the TV series finales they love, the endings they hate, and the final moments that left them scratching them heads. And while they're going to be spoiling some plot points of these shows, they'll try to let you know ahead of time if they're going to give mild spoilers, medium spoilers or spicy spoilers. Press play and be sure to stay tuned for the shocking conclusion of this episode of Baconsale!

In the not too distant future, after you press play, you'll hear Baconsale discussing Mystery Science Theater 3000. Huzzah! If you've never seen MST3K, don't worry, we're here to introduce you to the world of Joel (Robinson), Mike, the 'Bots and the cheesy movies they watch. Joel (Hilton) is a big fan of the series, and Kent and Jacob are here to make sure Joel doesn’t get to carried away with his favorite television series. If you're wondering why we're discussing MST3K instead of current movie facts, just repeat to yourself, "I trust this show, I should really just relax." Watch out for snakes! And as requested, here is Joel's MST3K starter kit list: • Episode 303: Pod People • Episode 321: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians • Episode 424: Manos: The Hands of Fate • Episode 512: Mitchell • Episode 513: The Brain that Wouldn't Die • Episode 820: Space Mutiny • Episode 821: Time Chasers • Episode 903: Pumaman • Episode 904: Werewolf • Episode 910: The Final Sacrifice

Our special guest Mark is back and he's revving to talk about The Fate of the Furious, the eighth (YES! 8th!) film in the Fast and the Furious franchise. Joel and Jacob do their best to contain Mark's excitement (because they haven't seen the film), whereas Kent just enables him. Join us as we forget all the characters' names and do our best to make sense of this stupidly entertaining movie.

And here we have Baconsale in its natural habitat: talking about movies. Not just any movies, though. They seem to be discussing documentaries. Kent, the critic of this species, has joined with Joel, the dominant comedian, to create a list of 10 non-fiction films that will help people understand that the word "documentary" does not necessarily mean that the movie will be boring or dry. In fact, they seem to have piqued the interest of a nearby creature named Jacob - a reluctant observer. Let's listen and see what happens.

Believe it or not, Baconsale has officially made 100 episodes! We're celebrating this milestone by inviting three people onto the show (Jeff, Sam & Teri) who claim to listen to our podcast. And Jacob has created a semi-comprehensible pop culture quiz to pit these contestants against each other and, eventually, against Joel and Kent, a.k.a. "Team JK." Excitement! Confusion! Drama! Awkward silences! Trash talk! All that and more are on this, the 100th episode of Baconsale!

Do you have the time to listen to us whine about nothing and everything about 90s bands? Well, Hold My Hand because we're going to debate All the Small Things (and some Little Things) about some of your favorite alternative music artists once again in our March Madness-style tournament. In fact, it's time to end this Beautiful Disaster (*gasp* Say It Ain't So!), give our picks one Last Kiss and make a Precious Declaration of the ultimate winner of our bracket Today. But we won't really know how we did, 'Til I Hear It from You in the comments. Don't Speak, just press play. And Thank U for listening! Download Baconsale ADVANCED Alternative Bracket

It's Morphin' time!. . .for Kent. Jacob and Joel didn't really watch the Power Rangers TV show. But they're ready to discuss the 2017 cash grab-- er, reboot. Kent geeks out a bit and shows his true fandom, while the other two try and comprehend what a Zord is. Is this movie a thrill ride for '90s fans? Or is it another desperate to exploit our wallets and our childhood? Press play and find out. And, as always, the first 16 minutes are spoiler-free.

Look at these princesses, aren’t they all neat? Wouldn’t you think our collection’s complete? In fact, we’re going to rank a bunch of animated female protagonists (and deuteragonists) who aren’t in the official Disney princess line. No, we’re not just basing these rankings on their looks -- after all, we aren’t complete chauvinists -- but attractiveness is one of the criteria on our rating matrix. We use cold hard facts, mathematic formulas and, yes, our subjective opinions to determine which of these cartoon characters are tier 1, which are tier 2 and which are tier 3. And if you don’t agree with our ratings, please remember that no matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true. Unless your wish is to change Kent’s mind. That never happens.

Be our guest and listen to our review of the 2017 live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. Kent tagged along on Joel's date with his wife to see the movie -- or Joel's wife ended up using Jacob's ticket, depending on your perspective -- and we are ready to give our spoiler-free and spoiler-full review of the latest Disney cash grab. Is Emma Watson the Belle of the ball? Did we shudder at the Beast's performance? Does anyone bite like Gaston? Press play and find out!

Come As You Are and listen to Baconsale's battle of 90s alternative bands. And while some of you may be saying Good Riddance to the grunge era, Kent, Joel and Jacob have been Desperately Wanting to do this for a while. We had So Much to Say, which is why this episode runs Everlong. And we don't mean to give you the Run-Around, but we don't go The Distance this episode. This is only part one Round Here. It'll be One Week or so before we finish the tournament. We had Good Intentions, but we had to let it Linger. So Come Out and (press) Play on this latest episode of Baconsale! Download Baconsale Alternative Bracket

It's time for Baconsale to discuss one of the most anticipated movies of this weekend -- Kong: Skull Island! Well, we actually spend most of the time discussing other movies and subjects, but there is a King Kong review mixed in there somewhere. Listen as Kent and Jacob explain the movie to Joel, who didn't see the movie, and struggle to stay on topic. As always, the first 13 minutes are spoiler free.

Have you heard of this podcast called Baconsale? It's this cool, out-of-the-way podcast not many people know about. Anyway, Kent, Joel and Jacob -- totally obscure guys -- are the hosts and, in this episode, they're discussing films you've probably never heard of. Well, they're hoping you've never heard of them, because they're each recommending four films to you. Why four? Because three and five are so mainstream.

Oh no! The DC Extended Universe is in trouble! Who can possibly save them? Wait! What's that on the airwaves? It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Baconsale! Kent, Joel and Jacob are ready to discuss the current woes of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the DC Extended Universe. Then they brainstorm what DC can do next to battle against the money-making machine of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They suggest directors, recommend actors and they even pitch ideas for future movies -- well, Joel pitches ideas. Kent reads his entire original screenplay. So press play and, if you're a studio executive from Disney or Warner Bros., we're willing to discuss any offers you may have for us. Money offers. For our amazing ideas.

It's time to put on our snooty film geek hats and try to predict the winners of the 89th Academy Awards.

Love is a many-splendored thing, so it’s time for Baconsale to discuss this enigmatic emotion with our good friend, Dr. Matthew Woolley, Ph.D. And while you may think that all you need is love, Dr. Matt is here to tell us what is love and how to differentiate it from infatuation and/or drug use. We also talk about Valentine’s Day, romantic comedies, love languages, social media, discarded chocolates and what happens when a man loves woman. Things may get real at times, but then Kent rubs Joel’s shoulder and everything just gets awkward. So press play and remember that everything we do, we do it for you, The Listener.

Okay, Listener, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today! We're talking about winter in this episode. Kent, Joel and Jacob each share their memories of past winters and discuss their favorite/least favorite things about the season of snow, frost, ice, parkas, sledding and inversion. Kent leaves a friend to die in a snow cave. Joel is an arrogant winter walker. And sassy Jacob goes to extreme measures to prevent frostbite. So grab your favorite blanket, curl up by a warm fire, sip some hot cocoa (NOT WASSAIL!) and enjoy this latest episode of Baconsale.

It's time to kick off your shoes and enjoy our latest episode. Well, maybe you'd better keep your shoes on, because we're talking about movie theater (theatre?) etiquette.

During this episode, we recap our predictions from last year, and then we discuss which movies we're excited to see this year.

We've recovered from the Amish incident in our last show, and we're ready to begin Baconsale season three! And, once again, we're starting off the new season with our best and worst movie picks from last year. Kent picks movies that were released in 2016, and Joel picks movies that he watched for the first time during the past year, which may or may not include films actually released in 2016. It's fun for the whole family (except when Kent is talking about The Neon Demon) on this episode of Baconsale!
