The guys also clash over the notion that new comedians have a “blueprint” of who they’d like to be in the business. Joel says almost everyone does, while Ted (unbelievably) thinks that’s idiotic.

Joel Radio #145: Movie Mania 2015
Jan 29th
It’s time for the annual review of the best and worst movies of last year. Joel saw all the Oscar-nominated films (except the ones that nobody can see), and did his very best to put together his list. Corey also saw a ton of movies, but his more cavalier approach led to a major oversight in his best-of list, even though the guys surprisingly agreed on what was the year’s very best film. Hear what the best dramas, comedies, animated films and documentaries were, find out the one movie all year that made Joel cry, and why so many movies on the lists were not even released traditionally in theaters. There’s also the worst movies, which include a few Oscar-nom acting performances, the much talked about The Interview, and the perennial appearance of an Adam Sandler movie. If you are looking for some good movies to watch, then this is the show for you. Brought to you by two guys who felt Interstellar was too long, and yet talked for three hours about The Babadook. Enjoy!

As this collage demonstrates, 2014 was a weird year at the cinema
Joel Radio #77: The Best and Worst Movies of 2011
Jan 20th
Joel and Corey have completed their 2011 re-cap shows with a list of the best (or more accurately, their favorite) films of 2011. While Joel admits his list isn’t comprehensive, he manages to throw in a few oddball documentaries from cable, while Corey’s likes are in tune with the critical mass for the most part. There’s a few exceptions that won’t get spoiled here, like a British comedian’s vanity project that Corey loved and Joel’s affection for CGI primates that isn’t shared by his co-host. Still, there’s a lot they agreed on, both foreign, domestic, documentary and occasionally weird, so this is turns out to be a pleasant Netflix queue-filling discussion from a couple of film-loving nerds. Of course, there’s hate, too, as Corey still wants Adam Sandler dead, and Joel thinks someone should’ve stopped Conan O’Brien. There’s also no love for Smurfs, Chipmunks, Idiot Brothers or Russell Brand And only one host picked a comic book movie as one of his faves. Wanna guess? Wrong.
