\n\nChris and Andre are back to discuss one of the things they disagree about most: James Gunn and the appeal of his films and tv shows.
\n\nThis conversation was spurred on by a comment left by John Vincent Eugenio on the WHO SUCKS MORE? James Gunn vs. Zack Snyder video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0edF4CaMB4). James couldn't understand why Andre wasn't a fan of James Gunn's creations and left links to a few of HiTop Films' (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDmd40nGOGL3IxKNVeRb9-w) video essays that he felt made his case:
\n\n\n\nChris and Andre both watched the video essays and are back to see if anything has changed regarding their feelings on James Gunn.
\n\n(00:02:06) John Vincent Eugenio’s comment that sparked this conversation.
\n(00:07:04) The reason Andre didn’t like Guardians of the Galaxy
\n(00:10:13) Inaccuracies of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
\n(00:10:49) Issues with The Suicide Squad
\n(00:17:50) Chris’ problem with Chris Pratt
\n(00:22:40) The Abundance of “Bad Dads” in James Gunn’s projects
\n(00:33:00) Was James Gunn handcuffed to certain plot elements in the first Guardians of the Galaxy?
\n(00:35:41) Inconsistencies across other Marvel films
\n(00:38:00) Did the guys flip their opinions on James Gunn (and Zack Snyder)?
\n(00:39:45) Too much tuna…
What do you think of James Gunn's abilities as a director and storyteller? Are you excited for him to be leading DC Studios for Discover/Warner Bros?

\n\nIn this edition of THE BIG RANT, Chris and Andre focus in on the steady decline in news viewership and the seeming increase in the number of "info-tainment" shows designed to combine traditional news stories with humor.
\n\nAlong the way they discuss a recent Axios article highlighting the fall in cable news ratings, the shift from news anchors and traditional journalists to tv personalities as hosts of longstanding news programs, the supposed need for sensationalism in news coverage, "bad news fatigue," and the consolidation of news outlet ownership.
\n\nUltimately, the guys explain why they feel this is a bad trend for society as a whole and how this shift has led to people feeling that being aware is the same as being informed.

Next week it will have to be!","content_html":"In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, the guys fail miserably at avoiding the politics topic, so much so that it basically permeates every single other topic they DO try to cover, including some of the latest tech news and developments and a look at the business and economic landscape moving forward.
\n\n(00:02:10) Technology - Andre shares some aspects of his latest “Hackintosh” problems and potential solutions, the guys share their takes on desktops versus laptops in the modern computing era.
\n\n(00:09:28) Politics - The guys spend a WHOLE lotta time talking about Trump and the debacle that we have all been experiencing since the election, continue their conversation about the inevitable splintering of the Republican party, and do find time to talk a little bit about the capable people with which President-elect Joe Biden appears to be surrounding himself.
\n\n(00:38:55) Business - The guys discuss what they believe it will take to recover from the economic downturn the United States finds itself in, Chris asks if a move back towards local economies would be beneficial for some communities, Andre talks about how the remaining businesses can hope to survive another potential lockdown, the guys share their practices for supporting local businesses, which leads to an in-depth conversation about grocery store marketing practices.
\n\nChris condemns deceptive marketing practices, Andre says the natural selection of businesses will eliminate those who are deceptive, but Chris wants immediate results.
\n\n(01:10:52) Politics… again? - The guys get back onto the “Trump” topic to discuss just how disturbing some of his behavior has been and how he will be remembered in history, look back on Biden’s steady hand through the past several months despite all the chaos, Chris wants to know where Mike Pence has been hiding, Andre explains how it is that people like Mitch McConnell keep getting reelected, Chris talks about some of his favorite U.S. Presidents.
\n\n(01:46:30) Closing Thoughts - Even though they had no plans to talk politics, that’s almost all they did today, forcing them to skip one of their planned topics: sports. Oh well! Next week it will have to be!

The guys are talking politics, starting with Donald Trump’s abhorrent behavior cementing his legacy, including using a church and the Bible as a weapon, Andre shares stories from his past around racism in the south and warns of the problems that could arise should the upcoming trial go wrong. The guys discuss the deafening silence coming from the majority of Congress and the disconnect that exists between them and their constituents, chat about the swing voters impact in 2020, Donald Trump’s repeated attempts to overstep his authority with little-to-no pushback from Congress.
\n\n(01:04:24) Pop Culture - Andre longs for the days of local print newspapers, the guys talk about the lack of real journalism these days, Andre calls for more boycotts of companies that don’t follow-through on their diversity pledges and says Nike hedged their bets years ago with the Colin Kaepernick deal, Andre highlights two personal examples of blatant racism in corporate culture but cautions against focusing on the symptoms.

Seriously, this is worth a listen and a register.
\n\n(01:32:26) Social Media - The guys get back on the social media rant, this time focusing on marketers and influencers selling their philosophy, talk about the “woke” folks not getting it, slam platforms for marketing unity but selling information, Andre explains how a “cookie” works, the guys talk about the term “people of color,” Andre says he hates saying “white people” and explains why.
\n\n(01:43:23) That’s a wrap! - The guys are recording again today, so expect a new episode soon (assuming Chris doesn’t relax now that he’s finally caught up!).

\n\n(00:16:05) - The conversation starts to drift into sports (surprisingly…) and Andre teases Chris about his State allegiance. Chris talks about what Philip Rivers and Bradley Chubb each mean to NC State, Andre tries to bring the conversation back around to cord cutting, Chris is having none of that
\n\n(00:20:00) - The guys talk about the real futbol, but Andre admits he’s more interested in MLS and trying to figure out which team to support, Chris baits Andre with a Luca Doncic hype question while Andre preaches consistency, Andre clarifies support as buying someone’s jersey, Chris hopes Rivers gets a chance to close out his career with a ring
\n\n(00:27:22) - Jason Garrett out, Mike McCarthy in. Andre says OBJ was all New York media hype, calls out Victor Cruz, Andre wasn’t impressed by college basketball when he moved to NC
\n\n(00:32:28 ) - Vegan Recipes we’ve made lately: Philly Cheese Steak, Peruvian Lomo, Cashew Alfredo Sauce with Fettuccine and Roasted Vegetables, Lemon Garlic Orzo (also with roasted vegetables), Chris and Andre both feel like plant-based diets have reignited their passion in the kitchen, Andre doesn’t miss meat, Chris loves Dr. Praeger’s vegan burgers with beer braised onions (and he did make one, and it was delicious!), what will it take for American restaurants to offer more vegan options
\n\n(00:42:00) - Mellow Mushroom’s food is great…but is it worth the wait/service?, the guys share personal memories from their times at Mellow Mushroom and other restaurants along with their personal standards for the service industry (NOTE: we have both spent extensive time working in the service industry),
\n\n(00:46:25) - Chris had a less than stellar experience at a local hotel, Andre admits he’s a hotel snob and shares a story about his own bad hotel stay, Chris talks about an off-the-beaten-path hotel experience in Pompeii, experiences over things!
\n\n(00:58:00) - Food is at the center of most memories...
\n\n(00:59:56) - Culture in the Workplace can’t be manufactured and is more about the people than the company, Andre says it turns out millennials aren’t that bad and admits guilt for his part in creating snowflake generation, companies are marketing non-work things to the workforce, can companies scale while maintaining culture or are people mistaking environment for culture?
\n\n(01:12:41) - Andre asks Chris about the Economy, Chris provides a bs answer and Andre calls him on it then educates him, the guys talk about achieving success with a reduced workforce and the implications for the economy, the morality of economic trade-offs.
