Joel Radio #223: No Stingers

Jul 11th

Posted by joel in Shows

Joel hasn’t always enjoyed the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he still goes to the movies and the most recent one, Ant-Man and The Wasp, was OK. But making people wait for the post-credit sequences has become a frustrating, ridiculous ritual that should probably end. Joel and Corey Hall review the new film, discuss the “stinger” phenomenon and why the last scene in Ant-Man was an absolute waste of time for everyone. And yes, you’ll have to wait for the end of the show for this discussion – it’s better than an ant playing drums! Also, comedian Bill Bushart calls in to promote his TV project, shares tales of travelling to Amsterdam, and promotes his comedy classes. Plus, GLOW returns to Netflix and it’s a bore, Joel tells you of a fantastic “real” wrestling show that you should watch, pinball in the digital age frustrates Corey, and the comedy special that everyone’s talking about except Joel who won’t watch comedy specials. The guys also have reviews of The Staircase, Wild Wild Country and Derren Brown’s Miracles for your Netflix binging needs.

This is the “stinger” from Ant-Man and The Wasp. It’s stupid, lame, not funny, and not worth waiting for. It’s in the trailer, too, so it’s not a spoiler! FU Marvel!

Joel Radio #91: From Paris to Wrigley

It’s been a long time and a lot has happened to our intrepid podcasters since the last show. Corey got married and jetted over to Europe for the honeymoon, where he and his new bride indulged in sightseeing, museum touring and french fry eating. Joel, meanwhile, took his prize to see Bruce Springsteen in Chicago at Wrigley Field. Again, a fine trip, with the exception of the pouring rain during the show, the sea of humanity on the Red Line train and the ass-rape prices for everything including a near $100 trip to the aquarium. Hear about Corey making jam for the wedding guests, why he almost missed his flight, and why Amsterdam’s red-light district didn’t entertain the missus. While Joel’s GF enjoyed the concert, especially the special guests, but not Eddie Vedder as much as that “other guy” whom she never heard of. Plus, it’s a historic candy crossover at Costco, the real difference between Snickers and Milky Way (it’s not just peanuts!), and Corey’s pessimism about the new TV season is summed up in one new show.
