Hobo Radio 587 – The Oscars aren’t good, everybody: HoboTrashcan’s Guide to the 2021 Academy Awards

Academy Awards, Featured, Hobo Radio, Oscars, Podcasts

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined once again by Molly Regan to share their thoughts on every major category in the 93rd annual Academy Awards ceremony (including all of the ones they definitely aren’t qualified to discuss, like cinematography).

It’s been a strange year for movies. With studios holding back on releasing their biggest films, there is a field full of unlikely contenders this time around. Will Hollywood take some chances and reward people they’d normally overlook? Probably not. But you’re going to watch anyway, so you might as well hype yourself up by listening to this extra-long episode.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “This Ain’t Hollywood” by Silence Is Sexy

Hobo Radio 586 – X always gave it to ya

DMX, Featured, Hobo Radio, Netflix, Podcasts

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle remember the life of the truly one of a kind rap icon DMX.

DMX has come up a number of times before on the show, so they also revisit two of those times – 1.) Hobo Radio 332, where they discussed the phrase “Twice as butt” from “Where The Hood At?” and 2.) Joel’s interview with Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, where they explained how getting the rights to “X Got’ Give It To Ya” was like an episode of Law and Order.

They also vent their frustrations with Netflix canceling shows prematurely and the Arclight Theaters closing.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “X Gon’ Give It To Ya/No Diggity (Acoustic Mash-Up)” by Steven Smith

Elizabeth Ito has spent more than 15 years working in animation on shows like Adventure Time and her award-winning Cartoon Network short Welcome to My Life.

Her new Netflix show, City of Ghosts, is about a team of adorable young ghost hunters who travel around LA interviewing spirits and learning about the rich history of the city and its eclectic inhabitants. After a rough few years, it is essential comfort viewing.

We interviewed Ito about her career in animation, the development and execution of City of Ghosts and her anxiety about the child actors aging out of their parts.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar
