Joel Radio #212: No Halftime Show

Feb 7th

Posted by joel in Shows

Another Super Bowl has come and gone, and while neither Joel nor Corey Hall really cared who won, the game was entertaining and what happened afterwards in Philadelphia was insane. The fans partied, rioted and acted exactly as you would have expected considering Philly’s reputation. Hear the undoubtedly incomplete list of crazy shit the fans did in celebration the team’s victory on this show. The guys also talk about the lukewarm halftime show, the commercials, (including a new Star Wars trailer), what the guys ate during the game, and how TV’s biggest goat on Sunday will now be the head coach of the Detroit Lions. Also, Quentin Tarantino is starting to look really bad in regards to how he treated Uma Thurman, Molly’s Game gets reviewed, more on The Shape of Water, Columbus and The Florida Project, Joel sees some Oscar-worthy, but surprising documentaries, and how to learn everything you ever wanted to know about Star Wars toys. Plus, Mark E. Smith of The Fall has died and Joel has a tribute to great music made a legendarily cantankerous asshole.

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.
