In honor of the release of the trailer for It: Chapter Two, I'm re-releasing the last episode of the original GBU podcast, featuring a special local guest and a lot of talk about clowns. I've been toying with the idea of which classic episodes to release, and in what order, and it looks like now I'll be releasing them in a curated, out-of-order way. So. I hope you're into that. Original description: NSFW! Spoiler-ish (come on, you know the plot of IT) This time...2019-05-101h 25The Good, The Bad And The UnwatchableThe RocketeerNSFW! Jon and Kayleigh stop in to have a chat about Disney's The Rocketeer and nobody leaves happy. We attain the first unified rating in GBU history, and possibly the longest secret sound ever released at the end of an episode. We accomplish little and sound sad doing it. This may be our finest hour! You can follow the show on Twitter @GBUpodcast and visit the website at http://candidpodcast.com/ for show notes and more extra content.

Out-of-town guest and former Johnny Depp fan fiction forum moderator Cea joins the show with her pick, Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, and we manage to spend some of the episode's runtime talking about it in spite of our proclivity to hang on Johnny Depp's career and personal life.

Jon and I got to see a Fandango early-access preview of Shazam! and we've got a thoroughly spoiler-heavy episode for you! If you haven't seen Shazam! yet, hold off on this episode and go see the film first. This is an adaptation of my childhood favorite superhero, so I've got a lot to say. Unfortunately, some of the details are off, as I messed up a bit while talking about the development and legal history of the Shazam! franchise.

Jon arrived in the Dayton Upstairs Recording Studio to talk about one of his all-time favorite films, Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, an adaptation of the William Makepeace Thackery novel. In the course of the episode, we discuss what it means to have a favorite film, and what sort of movie gets a full five stars. I'd love to explore both those topics more in the future. This is our first episode in almost two years with no real technical problems to speak of. Although there was something weird that happened with our microphone inputs, i...2019-03-151h 00The Good, The Bad And The UnwatchableThe Emperor's New GrooveNSFW! Jon and Kayleigh join me to celebrate Oscar Season 2019 by talking about a 19-year-old under-performing Disney comedy! We also do a little catching up, touching on Palm d'Or winner and Japanese entry for Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards "Shoplifters", Sony animated non-train-wreck "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", Kubrickian mega-masterwork Barry Lyndon, and more! We encountered some brief technical hiccups in the first few minutes of the show, and near the end I called Disney's "The Sword in the Stone" "The Sorcerer's Stone", and yet, this is still a great episode. Rate...2019-02-231h 44The Good, The Bad And The UnwatchableRomaNSFW! Jon and Kayleigh come back on the show to discuss Roma, the new film my Alfonso Cuarón, director of A Little Princess, Y Tu Mamá Tambien, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men, and Gravity. We also manage to squeeze in a surprising amount of discussion about Toy Story. If you haven't seen Roma yet, go watch it on Netflix, where it released last month! We had some more technical troubles, as ever, with some slight audio drop-out here and there, but we also got to try out our new sound da...2019-01-251h 28The Good, The Bad And The UnwatchableGBU Classic - Age of Ultron and 8½Wow, how far we've come, eh? This first, stumbling, tipsy attempt at recording a podcast is an embarrassingly endearing look back at how rough a project can begin. Recorded in June of 2015, sat on, and eventually re-edited to release at the beginning of 2016, this episode is made up of the first half of a nearly four hour recording. For more on this and every episode, you can visit the blog at http://candidpodcast.com/ and I invite you to follow the show on Twitter @candidpodcast, e-mail me at brian@candidpodcast.com with thoughts and suggestions, and to...2019-01-231h 52The Good, The Bad And The UnwatchableThe GrinchNSFW! Just before Christmas, faint rumblings were heard and a soft glow seen from the window of the Dayton Upstairs Recording Studio, where for over a year Candid Podcast hardware had sat still and silent. It was us! ...recording a new episode for you, just in time for Christmas, but surely not in time to recover the couple dozen loyal listeners we'd somehow managed to accrue over the first two years of operation. On this new episode, there is a fresh cast, with returning co-host Jon and new comer Kayleigh helping me to break down...2018-12-251h 12The Good, The Bad And The UnwatchableGBU Classic - Christmas Blowout Extravaganza 2016Originally published 24 December 2016 Original Description: NSFW!
