It's just another Manic Monday, and Baconsale is ready to finish our new wave bracket! And while You Might Think that Sweet Dreams are made of these kinds of episodes and No One is to Blame, things still get pretty heated. In fact, Sometimes Joel will Shout and possibly has a Devil Inside him. But who will win this Once in a Lifetime 80s music tournament? Who Can It Be Now? Well, that's a Secret. Our Lips Are Sealed, so you'll have to listen to the episode.

We Just Can't Get Enough of these March-Madness-style music brackets, so Baconsale is going to Talk Talk and use our Weird Science to determine which 1980s new wave band is the best. Don't Get Me Wrong, you may say it's a Cruel Summer when your favorite bands are eliminated, but don't Panic, it's a Good Thing. As for declaring an ultimate winner. we Save It For Later because we only make it through the first round in this episode. But which artists will still be Alive and Kicking at the end?

Video game adaptations don't have a good track record, but can this latest Tomb Raider film break the stereotype? Kent and Joel saw it, and they're ready to give their review. Well, Joel would like to give his review. Kent just wants to talk about his crush on the polygons that made up Lara Croft in the 90s . . . and his current crush on Alicia Vikander.

Press play to see if Warner Bros. Pictures has finally uncovered the secret to a good video game movie. And don't worry, the first half the episode is spoiler-free.

Would you like fries with that? We don't. At least, not for a while, because for this episode we have eaten crinkle-cut, curly, shoestring and waffle fries from 22 different fast food restaurants, including McDonald's, In-N-Out Burger, Arby's and Chick-fil-A. Then we created a French fry matrix to scientifically compare each deep-fried & salted potato side, and are now ready to present to you our official Baconsale rankings.

Press play to hear how Jacob tried to sabotage our scoring, what kind of gross comparisons Kent can come up with for the fries he doesn't like, and Joel's history lesson on who invented fry sauce.

What? Two BaconBit episodes in one week? We must love you, listener. OR...Kent and Joel really, really wanted to talk about the new A Wrinkle in Time movie. But why? Did they feel like it was a beautiful adaptation of a beloved novel finally brought to the silver screen? Or did they find this film to be a huge mess of color, CGI and close-ups that is doomed to fail? Only Giant Space Oprah knows for sure.

Press play to tesser to the world of Baconsale!

Now that the 90th Academy Awards are over and done with, it's time for Kent and Joel to compare their answers and see who got the most right and who wins the coveted Caveman Burger. But wait! What's this? Jacob has submitted answers as well? And he had over a week and a half longer than the other two to prepare his ballot? Hmmmm, that seems a little shady…

Press play to hear us discuss the lowest-rated Oscars in broadcast history!

About 77 episodes ago we discussed some of the most overrated things on the planet. Now, however, Baconsale is going the opposite direction—we're talking about underrated things. No, Kent, we don't mean guilty pleasures and no, we don't want your hipster picks, either (he has a hard time with that). Our categories today include undervalued boy band members, sitcoms, disco songs, Disney sidekicks, kids TV shows and more!

And we hope you never underestimate how much we love it when you hit that play button!

Get excited! Baconsale is ready to try and muster up some enthusiasm for the 90th Academy Awards! Even though our brains aren't working (we can't read!), we're still going to make predictions about who is going to get an Oscar for acting, directing, writing, sound mixing and the rest of the 24 categories. And with a Caveman Burger on the line, the stakes have literally never been higher.

Press play to hear us struggle with how to keep the topic of "fish love" family friendly, reveal who loves Christopher Nolan more and debate how Willem Dafoe could whistle and smile at the same time.

After discovering differences between Kent and Joel's dating styles during last week's episode, Baconsale has decided to roll the dice and determine who is the better dater—or rather, who is the better Kent. Jacob has created another Choose-Your-Own-Adventure/Dungeons-&-Dragons-style story about meeting a girl and going on a first date, and he brought along Zack to keep score and help declare a winner.

Press play to hear Kent & Joel try to win, and try their best to not sing along to La La Land and Hamilton!

Wakanda forever! Or is it? Kent, Joel and Jacob are ready to review the first big movie of the year, Black Panther. But will Kent's deeply ingrained hate of Marvel bleed into his feelings for the world of T'Challa, vibranium and Martin Freeman? Will Jacob have clear feelings about his feelings for this film? And will Joel rate using letters or stars? All these questions and more will be answered on this BaconBit!

Oh, and don't worry, the first 15 minutes are spoiler free! Listen away!
