Joel Radio #183: Return of the Beast
Nov 29th
After nine years away, Joel welcomes back Mac Kelly, aka TV horror host Wolfman Mac, to the show. Mac was just beginning his climb to national fame when he last appeared and now he’s looking for his next move. Hear about how his show evolved to get national clearances, the financial challenges of doing a show yourself, and the risks and rewards of following your passion. Joel has some new ideas for Wolfman Mac going forward, details his own challenges with this podcast, and tries to find out what happened to Mac’s other trade – commercial radio. It’s a fun, frank discussion about chasing your dreams and the reality that inevitably catches up with them. Also, a big TV and movie round-up sees the Top Gear guys return on The Grand Tour, Joel gets Oscar-baited at Nocturnal Animals, Search Party isn’t a good as Joel wants it to be, and Green Room is the most terrifying, must-see movie of the year. Plus, the new Oasis documentary takes Joel back to England in the summer of 1994. It’s a good watch, but what happened to the drummer? Does anyone know where the drummer is? It’s a baffling change to what was an almost authoritative, compelling film.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #142: Howl with the Wolfman
Oct 18th
It’s an early Halloween treat, as Corey and Joel welcome public access TV Star Wolfman Mac to the show. See, Mac Kelly is a mild-mannered former radio DJ, until the night falls and he becomes Wolfman Mac, star of Nightmare Sinema, the finest public-domain schlock cinema show we know. Turns out Mac was inspired by cult legends The Ghoul and Sir Graves Ghastly, so this unusual profession is a home-grown labor or love (and prosthetics). Mac tells his story of becoming the Wolfman, his show’s unusual history and how it takes 90+ minutes in the make-up chair. If this sounds silly, remember that Mac was once a DJ named Tad Pole on K-Frog and also hosted a radio station’s polka hour. Also, Halloween mania, college vs pro football, bad podcasters, and psychics – real or not?
