Tonight, we got that going for us… Episode 29

Podcast IconEpisode 29 kicks off with Chuck and Jason realizing their getting old (maybe). The conversation moves to keeping in shape, internal clocks and Jason doing dumb things at the gym. The guys get a little serious and discuss the glut of celebrity deaths, Michael Jackson’s transgressions and accomplishments (especially Thriller), Farrah’s awesomeness, Ed McMahon, and David Carradine.

OK, so on to some geek stuff: The Sherlock Holmes trailer and the mystical number 3 (do  things really do happen in threes?). Chuck then tries to convince Jason to get on Twitter by playing the international angle. Chuck gets a FlipVideo HD for his birthday and he and Jason discuss the benefits of truly portable video, the iPhone video capabilities, and tweeting the apocalypse.

(Yes, we know the audio quality dips at this point – we blame Skype, but it’s free so what can you do?) Jason relates his experiences with every single film released in the last month (no spoilers though) and Chuck pipes in with “UP” (because that’s the only one he saw). After the tears, Jason lays down his reviews of The Hangover, The Taking of Pelham 123, Year One, Transformers 2. Chuck and Jason then move on to discuss Shia LaBeouf’s rising star and almost get kicked “off the air.”
