Joel Radio #153: Goodnight Dusty
Jun 17th
Losing a legendary figure who inspired and entertained America is always a tough thing. When it’s an overweight, slurring, ugly professional wrestler you wouldn’t think that would qualify for any kind of tribute, but you’d be wrong. Dusty Rhodes, died this week and Joel and Corey share their memories of one of the great talkers and unique personalities of all time. From his legendary “Hard Times” promo, to unveiling his gorilla, to his incredible TV commentary, Dusty was always entertaining and will certainly be missed. There’s tons of other stuff on this show, too, as Joel sees Craig Ferguson live, Jurassic World makes a couple of bucks more than Entourage, and Billy Crystal’s new show is about as funny as you’d expect. Plus, Corey on the Game of Thrones finale, the history of white people wanting to be black, and Netflix’s new show, Grace and Frankie, looks terrible but is still better than Orange Is the New Black.

Joel Radio #150: The New Comedy Boom or Bust
Apr 21st
Is comedy having a new boom? According to a recent article, comedy’s future will be performed in the back of a comic book store, to other comedians, and without punch lines – hooray! Actually, Joel is pretty troubled by the recent alt-comedy scene, feeling that so much of it’s charming qualities will fail to transfer to a bigger stage and that audiences will ultimately expect a standard of professionalism once the “boom” translates into people paying top-dollar for their entertainment. Corey seems more optimistic about this new future as podcasts (!) are seen as the new, best way of comedians promoting themselves. Either way, this show has some rock-solid advice for aspiring comedy superstars and a look into the future of comedy and why it may end up looking more like comedy’s past than most people realize. Also, the internet goes crazy for movie trailers as the guys look at the upcoming offerings from Star Wars, The Terminator, Jurassic World, and Batman vs Superman. Plus, Joel goes to Florida and has the scars to prove it, Corey is bored by Sinatra, a new voice says Jimmy Fallon sucks, and does Yahoo! have TV’s best new comedy show?
