Joel Radio #100: The Best and Worst Movies of 2012
Jan 25th
The review of 2012 is complete with Joel and Corey’s list of their most loved and loathed films of 2012. While it’s not completely harmonious, the guys largely agree on the best and the worst – Argo, Looper, The Queen of Versailles, The Dark Knight Rises, Jeff Who Lives at Home (not saying what category they fall in to) – there are a few spots of conflict. Prometheus is a hot spot with Joel admiring it as modern sci-fi monster movie and Corey thinking it’s a brain-dead retread. Joel, meanwhile, found Zero Dark Thirty a plodding version of the get Osama bin Laden story where Corey had it among his very best. They also each had a superhero flick in their top picks, but not the same one and Joel’s pick will surprise people. Plus, the worst list is always fun, featuring a comedy with “anti-humor”, non-actors acting, old people romancing, and indie movie ineptitude. And find out which director has the rare accomplishment of having two film mentioned, one each on Joel’s best-of and worst-of lists.

Joel Radio #61: One Hit Wonder
May 5th
It’s party time! With Osama bin Laden dead, it’s time for everyone to get along and love each other. Of course that won’t happen and nor will Joel and Corey ever really agree on anything. While Joel thinks you can draw a straight line from waterboarding to the capture, Corey thinks the Bush-era policies are still outdated and give our current Prez all the credit. They both, however, want the “death photos” released, and gleefully look at the leaked pics of the dead Osama associates – drop the squirt gun! Also, Thor is alright, Joel’s Oprah insider isn’t all that, and gays and blacks have a long way to go. Plus, Joel’s secret film nerd crushes revealed – Kubrick, Scorsese, Peckinpah and 80’s pro-wrestling.
