The Chuck And Brad Podcast

This is it. With the help of listener emails and comments, we take a look back at the Chuck and Brad Podcast over the past thirteen years and a look forward at what Funbearable has to offer. Thank you all so much. We love you. - C+B MP3 Download

Recorded before Brad;s surgery, this episode talks about what we would do if we had a Patreon. Themed episodes, rounding out the cast of characters, quitting our soul-draining office jobs..the sky's the limit! MP3 Download

The goal for this episode was for Chuck, Brad, and special guest Ray Harrington to pitch their OWN ideas for expanding the Spider-verse to celebrate the digital release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. And that happens! I mean, we take QUITE the detour to start the episode, but we each come with ideas (some more sincere than others) on how Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man movie universes could have become part of Tom Holland's Spider-man story in the MCU. We also discuss our favorite spider-moments and spider-guys through the years. As always, recording with Ray was a blast...even if we drifted away from the topic at hand more than once. MP3 Download

This year at Rhode Island Comic Con, the Chuck and Brad Podcast was lucky enough to host the "Clerks" Reunion panel with Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Marilyn Ghigliotti, Scott Schiaffo, Trevor Fehrman and Kevin Weisman. Great time, got to film it, so check it out! - Chuck MP3 Download

After a quick but necessary disclaimer from Ray Harrington, we are on the way! We discuss the two original Ghostbusters films and our thoughts on them (with the tangents you'd expect from Chuck, Brad, and Ray)! We then offer up our own original ideas for Ghostbusters sequels, completely unaffiliated with anything after the first two films! We had a ton of fun recording this ep! - Brad MP3 Download

It is here. Ray Harrington joins us to celebrate Halloween with a brand new segment on the CB pod - "Strangers and Fiction" where we get to read three stories that they've never read before. The twist is, these stories were written about...THEMSELVES!! We also filmed this episode! Enjoy it!! Happy Halloween! - Chuck MP3 Download

Mark Normand is hanging out with us today! We talk about his podcast Tuesdays With Stories; specifically the Patreon. How did Chuck get involved? Where was the Patreon, where is it, and where is it going next? We talk about comedy and stand-up and hit a slew of topics in this fun chat with a funny dude! Video podcast also available! - Brad MP3 Download

This week on the podcast, Ray Harrington joins us to talk about the gigantic Warner Bros. commercial that is Space Jam: A New Legacy! We discuss how movies like this came to be, the concept of pop culture mash-ups (or "IP mash-ups"), the history of this phenomenon, and the future of making movies based on bringing known characters together. We close the show with our segment "Pitch Doctors," where we each pitch our OWN ideas for pop culture mash-up movies, including our favorite franchises and characters (Back to the Future, Ducktales, The Peanuts, The Fast and the Furious, the Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo and MANY more are all in play)! - Chuck MP3 Download

Do you want to go see the upcoming 9th "Fast and Furious" movie, but you've never seen any of the previous films? If so, the CB pod is here to (continue to) solve your dilemma. It's a continuation! Maybe even a sequel! We tell our hasn't-seen-the-films friend Brian Lau about more of the Fast and Furious Films! This episode kicks off with "Fast and Furious 6" and takes us through The Fate of the Furious, as well as spinoff "Hobbs and Shaw!" I also talk about the cartoon that has three seasons on Netflix! Is the cartoon more or less realistic than the films? Listen and find out! This is part 2 of 2 in our Franchise Flashback for the "Fast and Furious" saga. - Brad MP3 Download

Do you want to go see the upcoming 9th "Fast and Furious" movie, but you've never seen any of the previous films? If so, the CB pod is here to solve your dilemma. Who's ready to live their life a quarter-mile at a time? We're joined by Brian Lau to find out the answer to that through explaining the ENTIRE TIMELINE of the "Fast and Furious" film saga. This episode finds us looking at the original "The Fast and The Furious" through "Fast Five," as well as multiple other films that link some of the movies, and the character Han's origins in the film "Better Luck Tomorrow." B Lau has not seen most of these movies, and we do our best to get him up to "speed" on the plots, characters, and transition from sort-of-realistic street racing film to "the coolest driving sequence we can remember." This is part 1 of 2 in our Franchise Flashback for the "Fast and Furious" saga. - Brad MP3 Download

We also hear how about Chuck's eventual involvement and a funeral invitation led to Walt and Chuck connecting (yes, seriously). It's an incredibly interesting dive into the experiences of an incredibly interesting man. After that, Chuck forces me to tell an embarrassing story from my past in which I feud with a Salvation Army Santa Calus. Also -- yes, seriously. - Brad MP3 Download

It's finally here! Chuck's TWISTED (tm) plan to take over McDonald's advertising/menu for a year of McMadness! We are joined by the way-more-tolerant-of-this-idea-than-he-should-be Ray Harrington and he shares a story of his departure from a fast food job in his youth. We also learn how the truth has been stretched over time. Just like that Robert Rodriguez trilogy! Wow! Anyway, Chuck lays out his whole plan, from the ad campaign leading up to the McMadness to specific menu items and gimmicks to keep this TWISTED (tm) idea going! Just how crazy do things get?! Listen and find out!!! - Brad MP3 Download

GET OVER HERE! (is a thing we say often during this episode) We welcome Ray Harrington into the studio this week for a VERY funny episode to learn about the history of the Mortal Kombat franchise. We discuss some listener emails, then Ray offers 100% legitimate, not at all made-up spoilers for the 2021 Mortal Kombat film. I start the look into what made the hyperviolent franchise tick. How it came about, how it evolved, and where it's going. We then offer our own Mortal Kombat Kharacters and what some of their moves might be. FINISH HIM! (I think this episode is a good time even if you know nothing about the games or movies!) - Brad MP3 Download

Whoa mama! Ray Harrington joins us this week, which means y'all are in for a great time! Chuck starts out the episode by breaking his own rules about what is and isn't history in our lives. We briefly discuss the 1998 Godzilla film and Ray offers some suggestions on how to fix it. We discuss catheter usage versus diaper usage, then we get to our pitches. I then offer my take on the classic franchise. Ray follows with several fantastic ideas, then Chuck steps up. It is something that could truly only come from the twisted mind of Chuck Staton. - Brad MP3 Download

Ray Harrington joins us (in person!) this week to talk about a bunch of fun stuff. Chuck presents us with (sincere!) Valentine's gifts. We then talk about Chuck's new video with the Tell Em Steve-Dave guys, then read some listener emails. We discuss my testosterone levels, The Avengers recreated in 16-bit scenes, then a bunch of things including Chuck's Halloween playlist and some book recommendations. Chuck then explains his new hygiene routine to me and Ray and it gets weirder and weirder as he continues to explain it. We talk about Chuck's recent dentist visit and talk about the comedy of a prank and how it works. We discuss the Clone High to HBO Max news and talk about our experience with the show. We then talk about some old listener emails discussing Ray and talk about our relationship to criticism. We get pretty slap-happy as we close this episode! Lot of fun! - Brad MP3 Download
