Hobo Radio 293 – Sadness and decay

Academy Awards, Featured, Harold Ramis, Hobo Radio, Kevin Spacey, Philip Seymour Hoffman

The Hobo Madness Tournament heats up this week as Joel Murphy and Lars have a lengthy debate over which film should advance to the final four – Groundhog Day or Caddyshack. And that’s just one of four difficult match ups. They also pick winners for Almost Famous vs. Boogie Nights, The Master vs. Mission: Impossible III and Animal House vs. Ghostbusters.

They also discuss the Academy Awards, including the rise of Kevin Spacey, the goofiness of Matthew McConaughey and the possibility that The Wolf of Wall Street is just as important sociologically as 12 Years a Slave.

Who will win in Caddyshack vs. Groundhog Day? Why did we stop using the term “homely”? What surprise does Joel have for Lars? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Did You See What God Did to Us?” by Dr. Rage and the Uppercuts
