Baconsale

Prepare yourselves for a 90s sci-fi flashback on this episode of Baconsale! Kent teams up with the Scoobies and has chosen Buffy the Vampire Slayer as his champion. While Joel tries to open everyone's eyes to the truth that The X-Files is the superior television show, despite what the government might tell you.
Pick a side! It's vampires versus aliens, demons versus conspiracies and mini skirts versus pantsuits in this small screen showdown!

Look into the crystal ball. The boys of Baconsale will predict the future of pop culture for you. The results might be as foggy as a Magic 8 Ball, but you can always ask again later. 

We're back! And we're starting season two of Baconsale by discussing the best and worst movies of 2015. Kent, the traditionalist, limits his picks to movies that were actually released in theaters in 2015, whereas Joel, the loose cannon, allows any movie he watched for the first time in the past year on his list.
We're happy to have escaped the clutches of Krampus and we hope you enjoy this latest episode of Baconale!
WARNING: Joel spoils a movie from 1931, despite violent protests from Kent and Jacob.

In December of 2015, four podcasters disappeared in the area near the Wasatch Front while recording the season one finale of Baconsale, which is a review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Do you hear what I hear? Baconsale is talking about Christmas music! From the classic folk songs we all know by heart, to the modern holiday cash grabs we wish we could forget, Joel and Kent pick a winner for each festive category and then defend their choice. Plus, unlike most of our other episodes, we play actual songs instead of just singing them ourselves! You're welcome!
So warm up some hot cocoa, snuggle into your favorite blanket and just listen to the podcast roar, 'cause baby it's cold outside.

You'll find the Spotify playlist of songs & albums we discussed on this episode at Baconsale.com.

What's this? What's this?
A Baconsale debate?
It is!
Will Kent unleash his hate?

Oh there's no place like Baconsale for the holidays. And since we like to rank things (and tick off The Listener), we have decided to rank our top 10 holidays of the year. Can Kent find something he cares about? Does Joel find the true meaning of Christmas? Does Jake only know how to celebrate national holidays by blowing stuff up? Listen and let us know if you agree with Joel's list, with Kent's list or if we're wrong altogether. If you don't like it, you can make like Arbor Day and leave.

It's time to decide which bad guy will be left standing after the dust settles in our Tournament of Villains! In this episode, we finish what we started as we plow through three rounds of match-ups. You'll hear us debate The Joker vs. Lex Luthor, Magneto vs. Galactus and Darth Vader vs. Dark Helmet. And, if you listen very closely, you might hear the moment when Kent gets slightly agitated at one of the decisions. It's subtle, but it's there.

Heroes get all the glory, it's time for the villains to have some fun. In this episode, we pit the baddest of the bad guys against each other in a fight to the death (a la The Hunger Games) to see who comes out on top. When Kent and Joel agree (which does happen on occasion), the victorious villain automatically advances to the next round. Should they disagree, it's up to Jacob to decide who made the best argument. 
Part 1 includes such epic battles as Poison Ivy vs. The Shredder, T-1000 vs. Ultron and Darth Maul vs. the Balrog.
