Joel Radio #227: Jeopardy! For Dummies
Aug 29th
Joel Radio returns with news of comedians getting fired, as Michelle Wolf and Joel McHale lost their shows on Netflix. Joel (Fragomeni) explains why basic cable stars don’t translate to an on-demand service and why late-night TV died with the loss of Leno and Letterman. Corey Hall thinks Trevor Noah was a bad hire, too and feels like that genre is losing its punch overall. Two comics criticize those richer and more famous than them – what a show! Also, Joel visits Niagara Falls and drives the amazing Niagara Speedway while eating ice cream with white trash of all colors and trying not to get eaten by a tiger at a magic show – what a trip! Plus, Sharp Objects ends and Corey can tell you it sucked without seeing it (it didn’t), Magic for Humans is really great, Matt Groening’s Disenchantment is better than it should be, and The Package is the dumbest thing ever. RIP Aretha and McCain – we never met and wouldn’t have liked you if we did.

Joel Radio #226: The Popular Podcast Award
Aug 16th
Joel survives a credit card calamity and a water main break to bring you this show where he and Corey Hall discuss a new Academy Award for “popular picture”. This seems redundant at best and idiotic at worst. Is this just a way to award Black Panther but not really award Black Panther? The guys discuss all the possibilities, including how the Tonys handle stuff like this, how to make the show move faster and other things they maybe don’t care about but can talk about for days. Like which Designing Woman cast member would have liked to sleep with? It’s a 1980s TV and movie rabbit-hole involving Meshach Taylor, Meatballs sequels, The Facts of Life cast and an obscure actress from Major Dad. Get your image search ready! Plus, Corey gets a new Oreo flavor for his birthday, Eighth Grade gets reviewed again and doesn’t do as well, the movie Tully almost works completely except for the last three minutes, and what if people showed up to vote and there were no ballots? What would you do? Call Corey!

Joel Radio #225: Royal Woke
Aug 3rd
Do comedians regret their comedy bits? Sure. Sometimes. That is the finding of a New York Magazine article and that sentiment is shared by Joel and Corey Hall on this show. Not that the hosts object to what they’ve done on moral grounds – Joel just thinks it hurts the show sometimes. Hear what the famous comics had to say, Joel and Corey share the jokes they’ve dropped over the years, and why they think the PC culture of today makes so many subjects taboo. Also, gives a brief Juggalo Gathering report including the mainstream movie featuring ICP and the surprise star, Clownvis Presley. Plus, Every Day is one of the worst movies ever says Joel, the new Mission Impossible is more of the same, Corey’s “woke” movie minute, and Joel says Sharp Objects is must-see TV and HBO’s Succession is a unwatchable heap that all the cool kids like.

Every Day was a terrible movie. Needs more Juggalos
