Baconsale

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain tiering. On this episode of Baconsale, we’re saluting famous fictional leaders from film, television, literature, and more. Joel, Kent, and Zack have created a list of 24 popular captains, and they’ll be ranking them based on how readily they would join their crew. Will Captain Hook reel them in? Can Captain Picard pique their interest? Is Captain Jack Sparrow cursed? Could Captain Marvel inspire wonder? Does Captain Malcolm Reynolds think Captain Phasma is shiny? Who is Captain Caveman? Listen and join the debate.   Press play to discover which given titles are the real deal and which Baconsale host can’t read.

When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city to be podcast fan. And on this episode of Baconsale, we’re going to Move Along to the music of 2006. Not just the hits On the Radio, but also other songs these White & Nerdy guys feel are Irreplaceable. This was, after all, a time when Zack, in his red-studded belt and double-popped collars, was forming his musical tastes and Joel was Waiting for the World to Change along with the other Young Folks. Kent starts off pretty positive this time, which is Crazy, but his Hips Don’t Lie for long. We hope you enjoy The Adventure in the pre-mumblecore times as we go Chasing Cars, build whistling playlists, and teach you How to Save a Life.   Steady as She Goes!

Deep beneath the murky depths, a mysterious episode of Baconsale is bubbling to the surface. Joel, Kent, and Zack have explored every ocean, sea, lake, and river to find the strangest and creepiest fictional aquatic creatures around. We’ll share horrifying historical accounts of seafarers from centuries ago and tell spooky stories of sea monsters from across the globe. We’ll also offer some frightening facts about the Kraken, Gill-man, and Cthulhu itself. Then we’ll end the episode by letting you know if any of the sea creature features we’ve watched are worth diving into.   Get over your fear of plesiosaurs and use your opposable thumbs to press play.

Our What Would Baconsale Do episodes have always gotten a little dark in parts, but on this episode, we’re fully embracing the macabre. This time, all of our hypothetical questions are Halloween-themed, including the unsettling scenarios submitted by you, the listener. Joel, Kent, and Zack will take turns giving their answers and try not to be too frightened as they decide which host will haunt them, where would be the spookiest place to spend the night, what dreadful candy they should eat, and which horror movie icon should be their boss. We invite you to play along, but watch out for jump scare sound effects, insights into our psyches, and some mild bullying as we navigate our fear of the unknown.   Press play for a short Batman sidetrack.

Konnichiwa, listener! ¿Cómo estás? Well, we are doing très bien because we’re going to show our chilling cultured side on this episode of Baconsale. Joel and Kent have each brought 10 foreign horror (forror) films they’re ready to share with you. Five of them we’ll recommend, and five of them we’ll tell you to avoid. Although the reasons why we don’t recommend certain movies varies. WARNING: Kent has some pretty dark and disturbing choices, but he’ll do his best to keep things family friendly/Americanized. Along the way, we’ll learn new pronunciations of movie titles from Zack, discover Kent’s love for Korea, and try to protect Joel’s soul.   Both Admiral Botox and Mackers want you press play.
