Hobo Radio 416 – Do you really want to know?

Featured, Game of Thrones, Hobo Radio, Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton, The Walking Dead, Westworld

After months of fan speculation, The Walking Dead finally revealed which cast member(s) met a grizzly end. Without spoiling the episode (that neither of them watched), Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk about the distinction between showrunners misdirecting fans and openly lying to them at panels.

They also talk about a new kiosk that allows you to scan your face and make your own personalized Star Wars and Marvel action figures and they pay tribute to Michael Crichton, the man who created Jurassic Park and Westworld.

Is it ever okay to lie to your fans? Would you spend $60 to put your face on an Iron Man action figure? How many stories about theme parks going haywire is too many? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “El Fuego” by Polyrhythmics

PREMATURE BURIAL
To die is natural; but the living death
Of those who waken into consciousness,
Though for a moment only, ay, or less,
To find a coffin stifling their last breath,
Surpasses every horror underneath
The sun of Heaven, and should surely check
Haste in the living to remove the wreck
Of what was just before, the soul’s fair sheath,
How many have been smothered in their shroud!
How many have sustained this awful woe!
Humanity would shudder could we know
How many have cried to God in anguish loud,
Accusing those whose haste a wrong had wrought
Beyond the worst that ever devil thought.
