Joel Radio #109: This Is The Middle
The summer movie season brings some highly anticipated releases. For Joel, one was This Is The End with Seth Rogen and the Judd Apatow comedy all stars, and for Corey the Superman reboot, Man of Steel was on his shortlist. Well, both guys are disappointed as neither film lived up to their respective hypes, and that’s the focus of this week’s Joel Radio. Joel Thinks This Is The End and has a soft middle (just like him!), while Corey finds the super-human fistfights exhausting – and they’re both too long. A better watch is Showtime’s Richard Pryor: Omit The Logic, an eye opening look the the comedy legend, and Corey recommends Twenty Feet From Stardom, a doc about professional back-up singers who almost made it. Plus, Joel has two big announcements, the first involves his favorite band reuniting, and the second is even less dramatic, at least according to Corey, who reads Joel’s secret message and decides it’s not even worthy of mention, despite Joel’s protests. What the heck was it? Stay tuned! Joel Radio ends on cliffhanger!

My guess on the cliffhanger announcement- Joel is buying a PS4, not an XBOX ONE. I believe in brackets Joel might have wrote that he’ll change his mind if they drop the price of the XBOX. A lot of this guess is based on Corey’s reaction lol.

Remember how you guys said an average girl is automatically an 8 or 9 as soon as she puts on a Transformer shirt and goes to a comic convention? That’s Kevin Smith. He’s the celebrity version of that. I went to a comic/anime/b list celebrity convention where he was a guest and he headlined the whole show.

That’s a good analogy, I guess. But still, I don’t get it. The movies aren’t very good. He’s funny when he talks, but not THAT funny, like a great comic or anything. It’s probably a lot of “Hey, I’m one of you, so love me”. And that works for him. He wins over comic book fans and geeks and makes them his fans. He preaching to the choir, you could say. It’s a fascinating phenomenon anyway.
