July 15, 2015Batman, Comic Con, Deadpool, Featured, Hobo Radio, Star Wars, Steven MoffatHoboTrashcan

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle recap this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, including the surprise Star Wars concert, Vulture’s unfair attack on Steven Moffat and Fox’s second attempt at a Deadpool movie. They also try to figure out why you can’t simply stream all of the Comic-Con panels and trailers online.

They also explain the correct way to eat Mama Celeste pizzas, the brilliance of 90s superhero cartoons and the key to good improv.

Why won’t movie studios take our money? What schadenfreude happened to Kevin Smith? Who is Korean Jesus? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

Intro – “Back to Me” by Tahuna Breaks
End – “Wondering Why (Featuring Nate Mezmer and Janice Bailon)” by ETHX

Hobo Radio 353 – Fast food mascot slash fiction

June 17, 2015Batman, Courtney Love, Featured, Game of Thrones, Hambur, Hobo Radio, Joel Schumacher, Jurassic World, The Hamburglar, The NoidHoboTrashcan

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle wonder aloud if The Hamburglar and The Noid were actually heroes, trying to save us all from subpar fast food. They also wonder if the two ever found love … perhaps even in one another.

Murphy and Periwinkle also share their thoughts on Jurassic World, Game of Thrones and the never-produced third Joel Schumacher Batman film that would have starred Courtney Love as Harley Quinn.

What horrible traits has Big Vinegar picked up this week? Who would have played the Scarecrow in Schumacher’s film? Can Game of Thrones keep a certain character’s resurrection a secret if it comes to pass? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
End – “Home” by December

Hobo Radio 338 – Not quite Batman

January 29, 2015American Sniper, Batman, David Tennant, Featured, Hobo Radio, NetflixHoboTrashcan

Last year, David Tennant received Joel Murphy’s endorsement to be Batman … which is not an easy thing to get. And clearly that seal of approval has paid off, since Marvel has announced that Tennant will be playing a villain named Zebediah Killgrave in their Netflix show A.K.A. Jessica Jones. It’s not quite Batman, but it is his first foray into the superhero genre.

Murphy and his co-host Lars Periwinkle discuss Tennant’s role as the pheromone-wielding Purple Man. They also discuss their Burns’ Supper with the guys from The Curioso, the recent criticism of American Sniper and James Patterson’s exploding novel Private Vegas.

Did Lars keep it together at the Burns’ Supper? What does Lars’ apartment look like? Why are the guys doing British accents? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks

Hobo Radio 321 – An innocent looking pegging

October 3, 2014AILBS, Baltimore, Batman, dragons, Featured, Gotham, Hobo RadioHoboTrashcan

Like many of you, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle were sad to see the award-winning An Innocent Looking Bookstore podcast come to an end. That’s why they’ve organized a mini-AILB reunion on the show, inviting Bob Rose and John DeCampos onto the show.

The four men discuss terrible Baltimore-themed company names, Lars’ adult website and dragon sex. And they do another MadLibs.

Who is on the show with Joel and Lars? What’s worse than a dragon burning and eating you? How does JD feel about Gotham? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Hobo Radio 311 – It’s kind of food

July 23, 2014Batman, Featured, Guardians of the Galaxy, Hobo Radio, Marvel, The SimpsonsHoboTrashcan

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars fix advertising on television and on streaming video sites. They offer ways to have product placement that isn’t obnoxious and ways to cut down on repetitive ads. They also come up with a new tagline for Subway: “It’s kind of food.”

The dynamic duo also discuss Guardians of the Galaxy, the new Simpsons World app (which will give viewers access to every single episode of The Simpsons) and Fargo season two.

What other shows would you want unlimited access to? Why did Joel get emotional at the Guardians of the Galaxy screening? Is there anything better than Batman Mad Libs? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
