Hobo Radio 426 – Cultural salad

Academy Awards, Blazing Saddles, Featured, Hobo Radio, Mel Brooks, Star Wars, The Last Jedi

This past Friday, Joel Murphy was able to cross an item off of his bucket list – seeing Mel Brooks live. He talks about the Blazing Saddles screening and Q&A with Brooks that he attended as part of Riot LA and shares a few of Mel’s stories.

Murphy and Lars Periwinkle also talk about sports (for some reason), Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s provocative title and this year’s Academy Award nominees.

Have you seen La La Land? Why do audience members feel the need to make live events about them? What are the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field?

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “The Factory” by Eggs Over Easy

Blazing-Saddles

Hobo Radio 337 – Everything isn’t awesome

Academy Awards, Featured, Hobo Radio

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle discuss this year’s Academy Award nominations (and, in a very meta preamble, they discuss the pointlessness of these awards). They share their thoughts on those films and people nominated and talk about the most notable snubs – including the brilliant Lego Movie.

They also drink Christopher Scarborough’s cider, talk about a service that sends your enemies glitter and do another MadLibs.

What New Year’s Resolutions does Lars have for Joel? Why won’t Sony just make a deal with Disney to coproduce Spider-man movies? How many ciders will Joel have? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:
