Joel Radio #161: The Manifesto
Dec 10th
You can’t say you’re not a nerd when you write a page and a half written diatribe about the Star Wars saga – a review of the previous films and a preview of the new one coming out. That’s exactly what head nerd Joel did for this week’s podcast, sharing his thoughts with fellow geek Corey Hall, dissecting what they love, hate and everything else about Star Wars. From the excellence of the original trilogy’s design to the awful acting of the prequels, hear the good and the bad, like which two characters ruin the overarching plot of the series, why Darth Vader ceases to be a bad guy in Jedi and why everyone became a lizard after a certain point. The guys also make predictions about the Force Awakens including what review score they’d be happy with, the various characters that will or won’t appear, and the awesome plans they’ve made for a screening and podcast review. Also, Joel’s scary Charlie Sheen update, “experts” say Bernie Sanders will become president, see ya Scott Weiland, and a Big Bird documentary that will make you cry. Plus, Bill Murray’s holiday special falls flat. Find out how big stars, good musicians, and a ton of hype made for this year’s great entertainment disappointment – until, perhaps, The Force Awakens.

Joel Radio #160: Composite Friends
Nov 18th
It took a an awful, tragic event to bring Corey Hall back to the show. We’re not talking about Paris either, instead an 89-year-old comedian went viral with a stand-up set that was too good to be true. Turns out it was, as most of his jokes were stolen from the internet to a shameless degree. Hear the old codger’s performance, the internet sources for said jokes and Joel and Corey’s analysis of him and the various mistakes that rookie comedians make and why a comedy class setting shouldn’t have allowed this to happen. Also, to the surprise of no one, Charlie Sheen is HIV+ and Joel may or may not have been in contact with him within weeks or months of his diagnosis. Can you get HIV from a microphone? And there was a terror attack this week, as Corey shares his memories of visits to France and Joel wonders if Eagles of Death Metal’s support of Israel played in to the attacks. Plus, Star Wars won’t screen for critics, Back to the Future gets really annoying, Tiny Tim’s debut album is genius (says Joel), Marlon Brando’s dark new documentary, and Aziz Ansari’s Master of None gets the guys thinking about who they’d be in each others’ semi-autobiographical single-camera sitcom.

Joel Radio #68: Two and a Half Juggalos
Sep 1st
After being returning from the Gathering of the Juggalos and being sick for a week, Joel Radio returns, largely bolstered by stories of Joel meeting people who became famous twenty to forty years ago. Including Charlie Sheen, who Joel met, attempted to write jokes for, and ultimately failed to help get over to a hostile crowd. Things went better with the legendary MC Hammer, as he and Joel’s mutual admiration ended with pictures and Twitter shoutouts! Corey can’t believe all he’s hearing, including that Vanilla Ice is a nice guy, That Jimmy “J.J.” Walker was funny, or that the Kottonmouth Kings rap about marijuana (OK, he actually believes the last one). Also from the Gathering, Joel makes the press, Ron Jeremy bears gifts, Brian Posehn falls off the wagon and the Iron Sheik lost his mojo. Plus, Corey hates the summer movies, Cedar Point is a time suck, and Joel feeds a buffalo – but not at The Gathering.

With MC Hammer and Nuke-Leah. Try as I must, I can’t look better than Hammer.
Jimmy “J.J.” Walker, Upchuck tha Clown and Ron Jeremy and the weirdest looking threesome ever.
A gift from Ron Jeremy! The price tag was his idea. It’s priceless, this 3/4 empty bottle of rum. Priceless I say!
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.
