Joel Radio #87: Prepare For The Worst
Jun 29th
Harry Artin (or whatever he’s calling himself these days) ruined this episode of Joel Radio. He wasn’t alone in this, as Corey Hall wasn’t there – his reason should make for a funny story whenever we get it – but most of the blame goes to Joel himself. Joel believed he could center the show around Harry’s hard luck stories of show business failure. He was doing pretty good with this theory until Harry got a phone call (apparently from a big-deal connection to his newest endeavor), got up and left the studio! Despite his saying it would be five minutes, Harry never returned! And Corey, who promised a review of the new Spider-Man movie, never checked in on the phone! Joel was left all alone, not having prepared for a solo show. Still, Joel got to do his top movies of 2012 (so far), gave a review to the surprisingly funny Ted, ran down a list of what worked in recent TV, and generally acted confused, unprepared and irritated. Still, some of you may be happy that you got less Harry than was planned! So to you guys, you’re welcome – and to everyone else – we’re sorry. We’re really, really sorry.

Joel Radio #86: Pod Busters
Jun 16th
After seeing enough bad reality television, including Gordon Ramsay telling you your restaurant or hotel sucks, Joel and Corey have a new idea for a reality show – fixing people’s podcasts! Of course, that would involve travelling to many cat urine-scented living rooms of losers all over America, so it’s probably not that fun a job. Instead, the guys decide it’s probably best to stay in their own cat urine-scented living room and continue on with Joel Radio! This week, the guys bemoan the lack of anything interesting out of last week’s E3 conference. They look at Nintendo’s about face on motion control and the impending doom of the Wii U. in the video game world, Joel is annoyed with RPGs in general, while Corey is really excited to get to the end of Mass Effect 3 – whenever they decide to write a good one. Also, Corey says the new film Rock of Ages makes 80s hair metal even less enjoyable than it was before – thanks Tom Cruise! Plus, House Hunters is fake, bollocks to Baggage Battles, and a giant, monster-sized Prometheus spoiler-cast at the end of the show. Really, the movie will be totally ruined if you listen to the last part of this show! You’ve been warned!
