Joel Radio #268: How To With Joel and Jason

Oct 29th

Posted by joel in Shows

After eight long months away, Jason Fylan-Mares returns to the show for the first time since Movie Mania 2020. Jason’s stayed busy producing his own comedy shows, performing, and doing something Joel has not dared to – going to the movies! Joel details how he voted this year, going against long-standing convictions with a specific goal in mind. He also skips tons of stuff on the ballot, too! Find out which races he can’t be bothered with and why the American Solidarity Party will have to wait another four years to (possibly) get Joel’s vote. Plus, tons of TV reviews, including the brilliant How To with John Wilson, Soulmates, The Undoing, the finale of Lovecraft Country, the very funny Intelligence, and the completely bizarre advertainment of John Bronco on Hulu. At the movies, Jason takes in Tenet, Joel says to skip Bill Murray’s On The Rocks, and The Opening Act is very true to the life of a stand-up comedian but still isn’t very good.

Hey Sofia Coppola! I fixed the title of your new movie – Joel

It looks like stand-up comedy is returning, even in a smaller, socially-distanced way, and Joel talks to the formerly retired comedian Ted Moss about what’s about to happen. Joel tells you about The Comedy Castle’s new procedures for the November re-opening and is proud to announce the return of the Advanced Comedy Class! Ted has already done some shows and has more coming up, when he’s not making episodes of his ever-growing podcast. Also, find out the beef between David Crosby and the recently deceased Eddie Van Halen, if a millennial can enjoy Airplane!, and the simple, according to Joel, mathematics of the stand-up comedy business. Plus tons of TV reviews including Ted Lasso, The Goes Wrong Show, A Wilderness of Error, and the most important movie of the year the coronavirus documentary Totally Under Control.
