Baconsale

As season four of Baconsale draws to a close, we're taking a look back at all we did this year. We're giving out finger boops like candy as we discuss our favorite moments (Mom show!), the best episode art (did someone say teleportation fumes?), our biggest regrets (veggie burgers), how many babies were born (SPOILER ALERT: Kent is pregnant), behind-the-scenes stories (binge-watching Hitchcock) and goals for the next season (sibling show?). And as we wrap up another season of this podcast, you can rest assured that everything will end normally and nothing crazy will happen, right?

Baconsale is counting down to Christmas with an episode dedicated to Hallmark original films and other made-for-TV holiday rom-coms. Kent, Joel and Jacob left the big city and traveled to a quaint town where we watched some of your suggestions and we're now ready to review them. And after a musical montage where we decorate a tree and go ice skating, we take a Hallmark channel quiz and guess storylines based only on the title.

Look! It's snowing! Tell your quirky best friend it's time to press play!

'Twas the first Baconsale of this Christmas season.

Jacob has been talking to Baconsale about The Last Kingdom (Kingdom of Heaven?) for some time now in private, and we finally agreed to let him talk about The Last Kingdom (Fallen Kingdom?) on this BaconBit. He has watched the whole thing on Netflix and he's excited to pitch it to you, the listener. So excited, in fact, that he's willing to let Kent and Joel eat candy while on the air so they will shut up and let him speak.

Press play to see if your interest will be piqued by The Last Kingdom (Kingdom Hearts?).

Don't Worry, Be Happy, because Baconsale is finally going to Whip It and finish our 80s one-hit wonder tournament! At times We're Walking on Sunshine when we agree, but other choices will make Joel call Kent a Maniac. Nevertheless, we put our Heart and Soul into this Funkytown of new wave, pop and rock music from 1980s and The Promise is we'll declare an ultimate winner and finally end this NeverEnding Story.

Come On Eileen, don't be Too Shy. Press play!

Hey fellas! Since we did a Man Crush show earlier this year, we felt it was only fair to give the ladies equal time. So, on this episode Baconsale, we're going to talk about our favorite females. We also brought back Lindsay, a real-live woman, onto the show to keep us in check and make sure we don't cross any lines, such as Kent saying one of his picks has a "broken rodent face." Listen as we crown such categories as Girl Next Door, Classically Beautiful, Best Smile, Most Attractive Musician and Hottest Hero.

Press play to hear us try our best to not have Kate Beckinsale win almost every single category.

Join Kent, Joel and Jacob as we talk about Newt, Tina, other Jacob, Queenie, Credence, Leta, Theseus, Nagini, Yusuf, Abernathy, McGonagall, Bunty, Dumbledore, Grindelwald and every other character and storyline they crammed into this sequel to the spin-off of the Harry Potter franchise. Joel didn't feel the last Fantastic Beasts movie deserved to be part of the Wizarding World, but will this one change his mind? And were Kent and Jacob able to stay awake during the screening?

Ohhhhh yeeeeeah! Believe It or Not, Baconsale is Puttin' on the Ritz and doing an 80s one-hit wonder tournament. We've created a bracket of new wave, rock and pop tunes that'll make you want to Party All the Time, even if you don't remember who the artist is. It Takes Two votes to make a song Breakout to the next round. The tournaments may be our Obsession, but we're only advancing one round on this episode. We'll take a Buffalo Stance and declare an ultimate winner next time.

Relax. All I Need is for you to press play!

Casey Smith had an idea. He wanted to know if Kent and Joel could guess what movie he was thinking of through a simple game of 20 questions, so we invited him to join us on this episode to give it a shot. What we found out is that Jacob likes to pick obscure movies, Joel doesn't have a good poker face and Kent is fiercely competitive when his film cred is on the line.

We couldn't let this Halloween season pass without discussing one of the most talked about Netflix series of the year, The Haunting of Hill House. If you haven't heard about it, all you need to know is that it stars Carla Gugino and that kid from E.T., and apparently it's so scary that it makes people pass out. Kent, Joel and Jacob watched it, regained consciousness and now they're ready to talk about what they thought about this ghostly family drama. And if you haven't seen it, don't worry, the first 16 minutes are spoiler free.

Don't look now, but The Bent-Neck Lady is standing right behind you and she wants you to press play.
