After The Credits

Now, say our name. Say our name! YumChunks. You’re gosh-dern right. Now let’s get cooking in a downright criminal episode of After the Credits. Closure and callbacks abound in a jam-packed round of Chunkfire Stories as the guys discuss childhood Zelda puzzles, gratification in finally learning After Effects, questing for a Japanese pre-school at church Nerf wars, and knowing how to properly say ‘goodbye’ at the Black Spire outpost in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. And then we take a drive with our old friend Jesse Pinkman, and discuss the storytelling, characters, time jumping, and errands of the Breaking Bad DLC film **El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie**. If you’re not sure how you’re going to be able to listen to all this content, maybe your best course is to tread lightly. * Chunkfire Stories - 02:45 * **El Camino** Summary - 43:53 * **El Camino** Discussion - 46:20

Put on a happy face! After the Credits returns after an excruciating two month absence. And boy do they got a gut-buster this week! Punchlines, stories, and shenannigans abound as the boys discuss the sexiness of Riverdale, the wonderful live experience of Lindsey Ellis and Smashmouth, a special PSA about the brilliance and importance of 17th century scientist and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, and more glamorous filmmaking adventures from Arkansas! But the headliner of course, is the crown prince of crime himself, the guys' take on the stand-alone origin story of the classic Batman nemesis, **Joker**. After this episode you'll realize that this podcast isn't a tragedy, it's a comedy! Even if it isn't all that funny! (But seriously, go look up Alexander von Humboldt.) * Chunkfire Stories - 01:54 * **Joker** Summary - 27:25 * **Joker** Discussion - 30:03
