Baconsale

Now that Chris Hemsworth is taking a break from being Thor (and taking a break from arm day, according to Zack), Baconsale is here to give our review of his latest movie, Extraction. But is this straight-to-Netflix action flick as good as the ones they release in theaters? We’ll let you know. And don’t worry about the overly complicated plot, we’re ready to help walk you through it once we leave the spoiler-free part of this BaconBit.

Are you ready for a life-changing experience that will change your life forever? Four years ago, Baconsale presented a list of people, places, and things that we felt were overrated. Everyone in the world agreed it was the best show we’d ever done…UNTIL NOW! Buckle your brain belts, because once again, we’re talking about overhyped stuff. Our range of random topics includes overpraised breakfast foods, Olympic sports, Pixar movies, sitcom characters, smartphone features, condiments (a surprisingly touchy subject), and so much more!

You can be a winner at the game of life by listening to this episode of Baconsale! Today we’re ranking some of the most popular tabletop games in history, including Monopoly, Scrabble, Twister (can you play that on a table?), Yahtzee, Connect Four, and The Settlers of Catan. You think playing Risk makes people angry? Just wait until Kent, Joel, or Zack give one of your family favorites a low tier. Get ready for fun facts, random histories, and the confessions of a board flipper.

And just in case you were wondering who we want to press the play button, it’s you, in your home, with the candlestick.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a wonderful resource for any movie-lover, but some of the user-submitted content on that site is a little strange. Therefore, on this episode of Baconsale, we’re introducing a new game (that’s going to sweep the nation!) where Kent, Joel, and Zack try to identify movies based solely on descriptions from the IMDb Parents Guide. We invite you to play along, as well, and see if you can beat our scores. Also, you should know that while this episode discusses potentially offensive material in films, we still try to keep things as family friendly as possible.

Just because something is awful doesn’t mean we hate it. Today Baconsale is scraping the bottom of the barrel to search for movies we enjoy among the lowest-rated flicks on Rotten Tomatoes. Kent has to defend one of his all-time favorite films, Joel is apparently obsessed with Dana Carvey, and our good friend Zack, who is stepping in for Jacob today, almost gets kicked off the show multiple times.

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens! Hollywood may have stopped releasing feature films in theaters, but Netflix is bigger than ever with their latest seven-episode documentary, Tiger King. And in case you’ve been wondering what all the memes are about, Baconsale is here to review it. Kent, Joel, and Zack each watched it and are still trying to process everything they saw. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry, the first half of this BaconBit is spoiler free.

If you’ve got some time to kill—and many of us seem to have that problem these days—this is the episode for you! Today on Baconsale we’re talking about television shows that will help pass the hours, days, and even weeks, if necessary. These are shows that are available to stream online right now, so you can start enjoying our recommendations immediately. However, we must warn you that Kent embraces the dark, Joel gets in touch with his feminine side, and Jacob…well, Jacob has something important to tell you.

Hold On to your cargo pants, listener! Baconsale is in The Middle of a 2000s alternative rock bracket, and we’re One Step Closer to crowning a Hero. The band matchups are now more Complicated, and we must keep going despite the Madness. Joel’s emotions are brought to Such Great Heights, Kent has a difficult time being Mr. Brightside, and Heads Will Roll as Jacob disagrees with some of the picks.

It Ends Tonight, so press play, because we wouldn’t be Here Without You.

Somebody Told Me that you have been Sitting, Waiting, Wishing for another Baconsale music tournament, and we have The Remedy! It’s Been Awhile since the 2000s, but we’re looking back to see who is, Hands Down, the best alternative rock band from that era. We won’t go In Too Deep this episode, only through the first round of match-ups—The Reason is because we don’t want this episode to be 100 Years long. But Someday we’ll finish the bracket and pick Only One band that deserves A Praise Chorus.
