Joel Radio #33: Jaw Dropping
Mar 4th
It’s a huge week at JoelRadio, so let’s bring back a (ahem) huge guest in Corey Hall. There’s so much to talk about as the Winter Olympics wrap-up, Alice in Wonderland debuts, Jay Leno returns to late-night, and the Oscar race concludes. But the biggest news of the week was the appearance of legendary movie critic Roger Ebert on the Oprah Winfrey show this week. Surviving cancer has left Roger unable to eat, drink or speak, with no lower jaw, lower mouth or tongue. It’s a sight more graphic than anything in The Crazies (reviewed this week!), yet sad and inspirational at the same time. In fact, some brainiacs figured out they build Roger a “voice” from his previous DVD commentaries and TV appearances. Thankfully, Corey and Joel’s years of podcasting should have them covered in such a tragic event, so whatever genius listening to this (Nils!), get working on it! Also, The Marriage Ref debuts, does Seinfeld strike out? Plus, Shutter Island sucks, the history of Mountain Dew, and the funniest thing ever – the secret life of gay Siskel and Ebert (not true, but really funny).

Joel Radio #23: No Thanks
Nov 26th
This week, Joel gives thanks for the big announcement that Oprah Winfrey is ending her talk show in 2011. While the popular spin is that she’s making the move to cable, Joel believes there’s more to the story than the “Queen of Daytime” is letting on. Go inside the numbers to uncover huge ratings drops, outrageous syndication fees and a backfiring political agenda – are any of these the real reason she’s leaving? Either way, she still weighs more than Joel! Also, the V remake is really good, the best sitcom on TV, and Black Friday is finally explained. Plus, the guys’ UFC picks undergo statistical analysis. Who’s the genius now?
