Hobo Radio Interview – Carol Kane

AUDIO VERSION:

Carol Kane has had a legendary career forming on-screen comedy duos with the likes of Bill Murray, Billy Crystal and Jack Nicholson. She’s back doing it once again in Between the Temples, where she stars opposite Jason Schwartzman in what feels like a lost 1970s Hal Ashby film.

We talk to Kane about beating up Bill Murray with her wings in Scrooged, working with John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands in a play and her bucket list dream of working with Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro.

This week’s music:

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

Hobo Radio Interview – Chris Grace

After facing backlash over being cast as an Asian character in Ghost in the Shell and a trans man in Rub & Tug, Scarlett Johansson stated in an interview that “as an actor I should be able to play any person, or any tree, or any animal.”

In response, Asian actor Chris Grace decided that he should play Scarlett Johansson. His one-person show, Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson features him in a number of absurd wigs discussing Johansson’s career and Hollywood’s long history of whitewashing.

We talk to Grace about this hilarious and poignant show, which is now available to stream on Dropout.

Hobo Radio Interviews – Kneecap & Writer/Director Rich Peppiatt

The members of the Belfast hip hop group Kneecap had every reason to be skeptical in 2019 when they were approached by someone claiming to be a filmmaker who wanted to tell their story.

Luckily, over many, many pints of Guinness, writer/director Rich Peppiatt was able to talk Moglaí Bap, Mo Chara and DJ Provaí into telling their story in a kinetic, entertaining biopic that hits theaters tomorrow.

We chatted with the band and writer/director about the film, the fight to get Irish recognized as a language in the north of Ireland and the chaotic decision to release a new album and movie simultaneously.

Hobo Radio Interview – Jacob Reed, Our Frasier Remake

Next Thursday, Paramount+ will launch a reboot of the acclaimed sitcom Frasier. One day before its release, another reimagining of Frasier will drop; an unsanctioned one made by a ragtag group of animators and filmmakers who love the show.

Our Frasier Remake is the brainchild of Jacob Reed. It’s a collaboration between over 100 artists who each took a short clip from the season one episode “My Coffee With Niles” and reinterpreted it however they saw fit. The result is a mix of animation, puppets and live action clips pieced together into one chaotic episode.

Joel Murphy and Molly Regan participated in the project. And now Joel sits down with Jacob Reed to discuss this massive undertaking in detail.
