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?

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....

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.

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.

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? W...

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 ...
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.

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. Super...
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!

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 a...
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.

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.

Press play! Or don't. Because if peop...
