    Chuck starts out by talking about the idea of "red flag movies," and how the very IDEA makes him see red (I'm sorry). We put that absurd idea to bed, then I tell Chuck about Wonder Woman '84 and my thoughts on that. Chuck tells me about the Ryan Reynolds movie Free Guy and how much he enjoyed it. I then surprise Chuck with a bonus recap of the early-80's film "Up The Creek." I am also surprised I watched it. We answer some listener emails about the Arcade 1-Up, our show recap, and watching a movie sans trailers. That provides a nice segue into a discussion about the trailer for the new Spider-Man film. After we clean up our laps, we talk about the new trailer for "Shredder's Revenge," then the just-release footage from the next Saints Row game. Once we clear out our pop culture brains, Chuck tells me about his trip to the Emergency Room last week and what the doctors discovered living inside him! (Surprisingly, not a Nerf dart!) - Chuck MP3 Download

    We kick things off with Chuck bragging about his cool new Nerf collection - am I foolish for thinking that if foam darts are rocketing toward my eyes, some glasses might be helpful? Chuck seems to think so! We then answer some listener emails including a big Would You Rather. From there, Chuck tells me about the Val Kilmer documentary "Val" on Prime Video and I agree to watch it soon. After that, he tells me all about his cool Rhode Island Day with TESD mainstay Frank Five and Mrs. Five. Finally, we talk about our recent gig at the Comedy Connection; all the work behind the scenes, everything that went wrong, so many jokes at Ray Harrington's expense, then winning the crowd over with the final bit. The show was a success.- Chuck MP3 Download
