Joel Radio #59: Charlie & Arthur
Apr 8th
More bombing in Detroit, and this time it’s not from Joel or Corey, as Charlie Sheen decided to launch a US “comedy” tour and found the Motor City less than welcoming. Actually, it was so bad Charlie probably wished he was “The Situation” at the Trump Roast. This week, Joel & Corey break down how and why Charlie cooked up a mega-bomb, the lack of planning and preparation, and why the opening act comic is not to blame. Also, the guys break down the state of morning television, Corey defends The Celebrity Apprentice and Joel is thisclose to being in a major comedy film. Plus, A movie round-up as Joel likes Hanna and Source Code, Corey is freaked out by Your Highness, and all people, animals and most houseplants absolutely hate the new Arthur.

Joel Radio #58: An Unfunny Situation
Mar 21st
Comedy ain’t easy. This show will be an example of that. That’s not a reference to Joel, co-host Corey Hall or the quality of this week’s show. Instead, it’s a reference to Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of MTV’s Jersey Shore, who appeared at last week’s Donald Trump Roast and laid a giant egg. You’ll hear the clips, the guys’ analysis, and decide for yourself if he’s really the unfunny douche on display – or if it was just a joke played on him by the producers of the show. Joel thinks the other comics are complicit in his bombing, but YOU decide! Also, Joel’s early favorites for Asshole of the Year 2011, the bully video that proves that white trash are even in Australia, a Celebrity Apprentice debate and more. Plus, it’s movie madness as Corey reviews Paul and Limitless, and Joel loves Win Win and great batch of new films on DVD and Blu-ray.

Joel Radio #57: Kirk Hit That
Mar 1st
Eschewing the normal Oscar pre-show predictions, Joel Fragomeni and Corey Hall return with a post-Oscars wrap-up. It was largely a snoozer, with first-time hosts actors James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosting and demonstrating a lack of experience, and an inability to tell a joke – who knew!?! But the night was saved, in the comedic sense, by 94-year-old Kirk Douglas, who hogged the mike, mumbled incoherently, and generally acted like drunken old Grandpa giving a Christmas toast. A highlight of 2011 that won’t soon be topped. Other low lights were Melissa Leo’s acceptance speech, Jennifer Hudson speaking a foreign language (English!), and Florence badly needing her Machine. Also, Corey goes nuclear – hilariously melting down during a character actor quiz & the best news anyone’s ever heard – unless you’re Oprah.

Joel Radio #56: Beware of the Green Tilt
Feb 17th
It was only five shows ago that Joel and Corey Hall discussed friend John Tenney‘s new show, Paranormal State: The New Class. On this show, John returns to the studio, and the show barely gets discussed! In fact, there’s more on John’s mind, like Robocop getting a statue in Detroit, a computer competing on Jeopardy!, and how he was disappointed in a recent comedy show he attended. He also gets Corey and Joel to fight over integrity, open mike politics, and why Joel – not Corey – is the more qualified to host the show. This is endlessly entertaining to John, and it’s all fueled by the guys’ consumption of the evil beverage Sparks, and it’s twice-as-powerful rival, Tilt, which is sampled in both the green and blue varieties. By the time the cans are tapped, John finally spills the details on the new shows plans, his new podcast, and the real truth behind his mysterious, ever-changing phone number.

Joel Radio #55: Hyper-Dimensional Mega Gay
Jan 27th
Just a note, halfway through this week’s show, Joel called it “the worst show ever”. He doesn’t feel that way now that it’s over. Maybe it was because Corey was bringing politics into a non-political discussion about Keith Olbermann. Maybe it’s because Joel’s grumpy after his fabulous mid-winter vacation. Not even the television departures of Regis Philbin and Larry King helped out Joel’s mood much. But, the mood was finally lightened by discussing the sanctimonious self-importance of the TV show Glee, including it’s creator calling out one of Joel’s favorite rock bands. Does Glee thinks it owns all popular music now? Is everything fodder for a gay, high-school glee club re-make? Joel thinks the show has become the Special Olympics, while Corey think it’s just too damn gay! Worst show ever? Listen and decide!

Joel Radio #54: America’s Next Top Critics
Jan 13th
If the guys hadn’t given you enough lists with the last two shows, this week’s show is dedicated to the best movies of 2010. Well, it’s Joel and Corey’s favorite movies of 2010, a detail that will be oft repeated throughout the show. Where Corey is largely in lock step with the critical mass, Joel’s list is more unusual and documentary heavy – although one film is described as being “middlebrow” by Corey, starting a furious debate. Corey also picks a curious #2 selection, a film that Joel sees as Corey’s ultimate fantasy life, and Corey agrees! Will your favorites make the list? Where can I see some of these obscure pics? How many films feature naked boobs? It’s a spirited 2+ hours full of fun viewing suggestions that film geeks, and even non-film geeks will enjoy.

Joel Radio #53: Assholes of the Year 2010
Dec 31st
As the calendar changes to 2011, its a great time to look back on the the biggest, and most accomplished, villains, scumbags, celebutards, and douche bags of 2010. Joel is helped in this by Corey Hall, and between the two of them, they know assholes – sometimes intimately. They’ve got assholes on speed dial. Anyway, enjoy 2+ hours of ball-busting goodness as the guys the guys rip politicians, self-serving celebs, egotistical athletes and more (including a dead guy!). This is must-listen radio, and without question some of the funniest stuff that only two actual assholes could create.

Joel Radio #52: Marty and the Widgets
Dec 17th
It’s a big week for movie lists as Joel and movie critic Corey Hall give you their lists of “Movies That People Like, That Actually Suck”. It’s quite a couple of lists, too. Oscar winning Best Pictures, legendary directors, Pixar – no one’s safe! It’s a wild and controversial discussion, so thank God the guys have the legendary director “Marty Scorcese” to weigh in on lists, too! This “Marty” is hilarious! Also, the guys get iced out of a free football game, Corey won’t watch The Walking Dead, iPads are are for assholes and one of Joel’s most satisfying bits ever – removing an annoying “friend” from his Facebook profile. After too many status updates, someone has to go – find out if it’s you!

Joel Radio #51: An Abberation
Dec 2nd
It finally happened, after years of one scheme after another, show friend John Tenney, finally cracked through to the mainstream on his own TV show. While Joel, and guest host Corey Hall, are happy for John, the actual show – as you’ll hear in clips – leaves something to be desired. Hear clips of “actual” ghost hunting research, turgid voice overs and scared hillbillies. It’s typical basic cable fare, and not extraordinary basic cable fare like Joel’s favorite new show IRT: Deadliest Roads. That show reinforces a point that must be repeated here: White people – stay out of India! Plus, 127 Hours rocks, Leslie Nielsen croaks, and Corey vs. Joel in Buzz Quiz TV on PS3. It’s the ultimate interactive trivia game show, can you guess who wins?
