Joel Radio #254: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review
Dec 20th
Joel attends opening night of the new Star Wars movie and reviews it along with comedians Kevin Kramis and Josh Bowab. Turn out the guys liked it overall, even if they weren’t all that hyped to see it. The review is *spoiler free* for the first 18 minutes or so – you’ve been warned! Joel rips Kevin for peeing at THE most inopportune time, the guys try to figure out the geography of the Star Wars universe, and why Lando was hitting on that one chick. Joel thinks its a fine Star Wars film with plenty of cute stuff, some questionable CGI, and a bit of fan-service that is 42 years too late. Nothing to get upset about like Last Jedi, anyway. It’s one of the least-disappointing films this holiday season. Go see it!
Here’s Babu. The breakout star of this film. The Babu/Baby Yoda buddy film can’t be far away
Joel Radio #251: Shorter Than a Marathon
Oct 25th
Joel is joined by Bill Hildebrandt, and returning fellow comic, Kevin Kramis on this week’s show. Kevin is fresh off running a marathon, a half-marathon anyway, and he tells us all about running and how the recent marathon record isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Also, a discussion about hair plugs, rugs and how newer techniques to restore hair must really suck -and they don’t fool anybody. Plus, why some tribute bands are better than others, Zombieland: Double Tap is a good follow-up, the Pavarotti documentary is recommended, Watchmen on HBO reviewed, and Joel gets completely ridiculed for saying the Biggest Little Farm is one of the year’s best films.

Joel Radio #211: Kung Fu Fighting
Jan 25th
A crazy fight between a comic an an audience member was all over the news this week. On this show reminisces about the near-fights and audience flare-ups he’s been a part of in his comedy career. This includes a giant Asian man jumping on a bar, and actually being spit on by a lady (maybe “lady” is more appropriate). He’s joined this week by veteran funnyman Kevin Kramis who shares what he’s seen, and the guys why these things happen at clubs and how, as a comedian, to avoid them. Corey Hall phones the show to talk about how he had to become “security” one night recently with a drunken lady at the Comedy Castle – no mike stands, stools, or furry middle-aged comics got hurt in that one. Also, Joel attempts storytelling to a live audience with mixed results. Find out his approach, and why a comedian must fight his own instincts to thing he’s being successful in that format. Plus, The Oscar nominations come out and Joel discusses the nominees, the snubs and tells good movies to see like The Florida Project, Columbus, and Lady Bird – you can skip Call Me Be Your Name. On the TV front, Crashing returns to HBO, Star Wars toys on Netflix and neither Kevin nor Joel has much interest in the NFL anymore.

This fight was worse than anything the guys have ever seen at club. And they’re happy about that
Joel Radio #188: Stars Sleep In The Garage
Feb 1st
Joel Radio presents a contrast in comedy careers as Kevin Kramis, a veteran comedian, sports announcer and the former voice of the Michigan State Fair shares road stories and dispenses advice to Joel and Sophia Spagnuolo, a young comic with only a handful of shows and some improv experience under her belt. Kevin shares how he got started in the business, how he became the voice of the fair, and how comics are often stuck staying in the “comedy condo” or in the club owner’s garage! Sophia tells of her burning desire to do comedy and how she met Joel in the most Millennial way ever – on a podcast. It’s a fun conversation that should inspire up-and-coming comedians and inspire others to never, ever even attempt a career in comedy. Also, Joel explains why Trump hysteria flies in the face of our system of government, why it seems like there’s so much bad news today, and how American politics has turned into College Gameday. Plus, Joel gears up for the Oscars by watching the awful Martin Scorcese-directed Silence, the overrated Moonlight, the dull-as-dust Loving, and has half-dozen other depressing, no-fun movies to watch in the next month. This is a good, fun, long listen which should kill some time as you wait for your immigration papers to clear.
