Hobo Radio 436 – Don’t put too much salt in it

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk about the sustainability of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the lost art of captivating movie posters and the importance of moisturizing. Joel also inadvertently coins a new phrase.

Will the MCU end with a bang or a whimper? What is Joel and Lars’ pitch for a standalone Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars anthology film? What was Joel even trying to say? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Everything Must Change” by Nazneen Rahman

Hobo Radio 431 – There is an idea of Emma Watson

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle discuss Richard Donner’s lazy original ending for Superman 2 and how he and Tim Burton had no appreciation of the source material when making their big budget superhero movies.

They also discuss Emma Watson’s beauty regimen, which feels oddly reminiscent of a certain Christian Bale character’s. And Lars breaks out his (work-in-progress) Jesse Ventura impression.

Why did Superman’s chest logo turn into a net? Why is Disney creating live action remakes of all of its classic cartoons? Is John Cena the Poochie of the WWE? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “L’amour élastique” by Arnaud Le Gouëfflec meets Jorge Bernstein & the Pioupioufuckers

Hobo Radio 298 – John Wayne Gacy’s garage sale

Joel Murphy had every intention of starting this week’s show by paying tribute to one of his favorite comedians, John Pinette, but when he saw the creepy painting hanging above Lars’ bed, he had no choice but to stop the show and address it. He tries to figure out what would possess a grown man to buy such a painting, a painting that screams, “Keep your children far, far away from my house.”

They do eventually discuss Pinette, along with the Ultimate Warrior and Mickey Rooney. They also discuss female superhero movies, getting older and why it’s okay to make fun of Gwyneth Paltrow.

Is Mickey Rourke still alive? Which will happen first, a Black Widow movie or a Wonder Woman movie? Have you ever wanted to grab a cop’s gun? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “I Wish You Well” by Tony James Shevlin

Hobo Radio 291 – A six-percent absorption threshold

With the Winter Olympics currently underway in Sochi, we’ve been hearing a lot of horror stories coming out of Russia. But one thing you may not have heard about is their recent ban on lace panties. Joining together with Kazakhstan and Belarus, Russia is seeking to clear its shelves of any undergarments that fall below a six-percent absorption threshold.

In addition to this confounding new law, Joel Murphy and Lars discuss The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer and Marvel’s current film superiority over DC.

Why are men so insistent on telling women what to wear? Can Lars name 10 DC comic superheroes? What exactly is a six-percent absorption threshold? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Dr. Goodfoot” by Hulon
