Joel Radio #100: The Best and Worst Movies of 2012
Jan 25th
The review of 2012 is complete with Joel and Corey’s list of their most loved and loathed films of 2012. While it’s not completely harmonious, the guys largely agree on the best and the worst – Argo, Looper, The Queen of Versailles, The Dark Knight Rises, Jeff Who Lives at Home (not saying what category they fall in to) – there are a few spots of conflict. Prometheus is a hot spot with Joel admiring it as modern sci-fi monster movie and Corey thinking it’s a brain-dead retread. Joel, meanwhile, found Zero Dark Thirty a plodding version of the get Osama bin Laden story where Corey had it among his very best. They also each had a superhero flick in their top picks, but not the same one and Joel’s pick will surprise people. Plus, the worst list is always fun, featuring a comedy with “anti-humor”, non-actors acting, old people romancing, and indie movie ineptitude. And find out which director has the rare accomplishment of having two film mentioned, one each on Joel’s best-of and worst-of lists.

Joel Radio #99: Fill That Hard Drive
Jan 10th
It should have been a wonderful return for 2013, but somehow Joel screwed up the recording of this podcast. It’s not all bad though, just a few minutes lost from near the end. But every dated reference and bad pun that was lost is sure to infuriate Corey Hall, whose tales of snack foods past must be heard in their entirety. Or guest Rob Rose, who shares his thoughts on TV and the assholes of 2012 that featured on the last two shows. Still, you’ll hear about more plans for Yellowknife, the movie Joel doesn’t like that movie as much as he’s supposed to, Joe Biden and Brent Musburger getting pervy, and the new low for celebrity reality TV. Plus, the Douchebag Hotline get its a new name, how Michael Strahan is almost impossibly worse than Regis Philbin, and let’s all go to Ghana (they’re paying). Joel’s New Year’s resolution: always record a backup of the show!
