Joel Radio #67: As Seen on CompuServe

Joel and Corey go back-to-back weeks for the first time in quite a while. And for no good reason either, as the guys sample the latest movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. While Corey is listed over there, what’s more interesting is the critics that don’t get with the critical mass, and the one guy who publishes his reviews on CompuServe. That’s right, CompuServe. If you can’t remember 1995, then fire up the Compuserve homepage, and take a trip back to the Clinton administration. Also, Joel is up sick and rediscovers the genius of D.C. Cab, and its star Charlie Barnett. That’s another time traveling trip – right back to 1983! Gary Busey! Bill Maher! Mr. T! Paul Rodriguez! Marsha Warfield! Irene Cara! Whitman Mayo! Awesome! Plus, The Change-Up makes a tired premise more tired, Rise of the Planet of the Apes sinks, Cowboys and Aliens coasts, and Joel will take Christina Applegate’s leftovers.

Charlie Barnett does his thing in Washington Square Park. Very funny. Dated, but funny.

    Some notes from the show:
    – Charlie Barnett actually died of AIDS, not an OD, though dirty needles were blamed for his infection
    – I saw similar and very comics in that very fountain in Washington Square Park. It was literally my front yard when I was at NYU.
    – The new website’s comment system requires me to approve new comments, unless you’ve had a previously approved comment on the site. Therefore, if you post now, you’ll be able to get future comments approved automatically – like next week when I’m at the Gathering without internet access
    – Feel free to also comment on any movie or TV show we reviewed on the show. It’s nice to know the audience likes and dislikes, too. D.C. Cab anyone?

    Keep the Jake jokes coming. Hilarious.

    It seems like there’s a little bit of Charlie Bennett in Tracy Morgan’s act too….

    My personal favorite old comic ads are the ones with hostess pies, in which Captain America stops the Red Skull by giving all his Nazi henchmen twinkies and what not….

    I totally agree with Joel that a man’s looks matter less to women looking to get laid in their thirties. I’m surprised this caught Corey so off guard. Isn’t there a joke that goes women are like dog poop because the older they get the easier they are to pick up? How did you guys not know that one!

    Hey Joel it gets real old saying you have no listeners. It’s insulting to the listeners you do have but I don’t even care about that. It’s just such an amateur thing to complain about. Every podcaster says it so much that it’s the oldest, lamest, tiredest podcast schtick out there.

    One funny part about this show was when you guys were all giggling trying to imagine what it would be like to be in each other’s bodies. It was during the bit about the body switching movies. It was also gay as hell but it was pretty funny.

    Your post-gathering shows are the best.
