• Episode 497: Directors Directing in the Wrong Direction

  Spielberg, Nolan, Bigelow, Kubrick, Cameron, Hitchcock—each of these directors are known for their well-crafted films and contributions to cinema. However, every car lot has a lemon and, on this episode of Baconsale, we’re taking a look at the lowest point of some of the highest-revered filmmakers. Joel, Kent, and Zack will be joined by our guest Jonathan to examine each director’s filmography and call out the weakest movie.   Does Netflix ruin directors? Has Kent lost his edge? How do you spell Scor-seysey? Press play to find out.

• Episode 496: 2025 Summer Movie Preview

  I Know What You Did Last Summer, you listened to our movie preview, right? Well, we’re not waiting until 28 Years Later to do that type of show again because, on this episode of Baconsale, we’re going to Bring Her Back and discuss the films that are coming out in the summer of 2025. Our (Fantastic Four) First Steps will be presenting the films we want to flop. And we don’t want to be The Bad Guys 2, so we’ll dance around some sensitive topics like a graceful Ballerina. Then, like a Clown in a Cornfield, we’ll rise up and The Final Reckoning of our conversation will be about the movies we think will be Super(man). Though our Friendship will be tested as we get closer to our Final Destination (Bloodlines) and our opinions differ.   Press play to initiate the latest live-action/computer-generated animation hybrid film remake.

• Episode 495: It’s a Soundtrack World

  It's an episode of laughter, an episode of tears, because Baconsale is talking about the music of Disneyland. Some of these soundtracks may even be more famous than the rides they come from. We’ll surprise each other (and repeat some answers) as we pick songs for such categories as Annoying Earworm, Bring it Back, Captures Disney Magic, Overrated, Pairs Perfectly with a Churro, Oddly Relaxing, and I’d Play this at My Wedding. Joel, Kent, and Zack will also share some fun facts about each attraction's soundtrack, which may include multiple references to Thurl Ravenscroft and/or Michael Giacchino.    Press play, me hearties, yo ho!   And visit Baconsale.com to find our Disneyland music playlist on YouTube.

• BaconBit: Team Listener vs. Team JK (2025)

  The battle to see who will be The Listener of Baconsale is over, but the pop culture war is just beginning. On this BaconBit, Scott, Taylor, and Kris will be put to the test as they represent Team Listener and take on the semi-undefeated Joel and Kent (a.k.a. Team JK). Zack has done away with the buzzers this time, so it’s not about who has the fastest reaction time, but rather who knows the most about Power Rangers, rappers, The Matrix, Full House, Ireland, rated-R movies, Taylor Swift, and more.   Press play to let the record show what the peanut gallery has on their whiteboards.

• Episode 494: Our 494th Episode!

  Happy anniversary, Baconsale! We’re celebrating 10 years of our podcast by bringing on some contestants and having them compete against each other to see who will be The Listener for the next year. Scott, Taylor, and Kris have proven their pop-culture prowess and picked their walk-up music, but only one will come out victorious. Zack will be quizzing them on such topics as Disneyland rides, mall food court menus, Lost trivia, trilogy truths, brand mascots, and background Baconsale knowledge. We’ll also have them play the Parents Guide Game, a few rounds of Jeopardy, and the game of Baconsale itself.   But who will be the GOAT this year? How will our competitors fare with imaginary buzzers? What kind of off-color, off-mic comments will Babs make? How big is the trophy for this year? Press play to find out!
