Joel Radio #121: Movie Mania
Jan 21st
In their final look back at 2013, Joel and Corey Hall look back at the best and worst films of 2013. The guys review over 70 movies in this marathon show, include their personal favorite fifteen films of the year, their honorable mentions, and Joel’s personal list of thirteen documentaries to see. There’s some disputes, of course, most notably about American Hustle, which is either inventive and fun or a bad ’70s-themed cocktail party, depending on who you choose to believe. Also, hear why Philomena is actually not a movie for old ladies, how Nebraska director Alexander Payne made a great movie despite the presence of MacGruber, and the totally obvious reasons why a three-hour foreign lesbian romance is one of the year’s best. Plus, Joel tries to not ruin a film’s shocking twist, Sylvester Stallone needs a new soundtrack, and, even though they told you before, Room 237 still sucks.

Joel Radio #107: Room 227
May 16th
Paranormal investigator John E.L. Tenney has investigated many things that remain unknown. Like why Corey and Joel can’t keep on topic. This episode is exhibit A in the elusive and rarely recorded podcasters-babblling-on-about-nothing phenomenon – but it’s a fun one! John joins the guys to look into the mysteries of Marc Maron’s new IFC series, Maron, and what the possibilities would be for the series Fragomeni or the more likely hilarious Tenney, the adventures a middle-aged ghost hunter. The also break down Inside Amy Schumer and the awesome Ginger Baker documentary Beware of Mr. Baker. Most of the show’s vitriol, however is saved for Room 237, a glorified YouTube documentary about Stanley Kubrick’s film The Shining. Joel especially hates this conspiratorial bullshit, and despite recently speaking at the Stanley Hotel, John denies that his bullshit in no way overlaps with the bullshit in the film. Also, Joel loves obscure comedian Fred Stoller, high school reunions are for suckers, and John’s ex-girlfriends are coming to an art gallery near you.
