Hobo Radio 416 – Do you really want to know?

Featured, Game of Thrones, Hobo Radio, Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton, The Walking Dead, Westworld

After months of fan speculation, The Walking Dead finally revealed which cast member(s) met a grizzly end. Without spoiling the episode (that neither of them watched), Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk about the distinction between showrunners misdirecting fans and openly lying to them at panels.

They also talk about a new kiosk that allows you to scan your face and make your own personalized Star Wars and Marvel action figures and they pay tribute to Michael Crichton, the man who created Jurassic Park and Westworld.

Is it ever okay to lie to your fans? Would you spend $60 to put your face on an Iron Man action figure? How many stories about theme parks going haywire is too many? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “El Fuego” by Polyrhythmics

Hobo Radio 373 – Everything is terrible, the world sucks, but we’re going to talk about pop culture

Christmas, Featured, Game of Thrones, Hobo Radio, Kurt Sutter, The Leftovers, The Walking Dead

As a brief tribute to Paris, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk briefly about all the French have given us.

They also try to figure out why it’s so tough for Hollywood to release movies at seasonally-appropriate times (the latest examples being Victor Frankenstein and The Night Before), discuss the cancellation of Kurt Sutter’s Bastard Executioner and look at the recent string of dead-but-presumed-still-alive TV show protagonists.

Are dramas like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and The Leftovers in danger of making death meaningless on their shows? Was Kurt Sutter really the one who pulled the plug on his own show? Why is Lars no longer wearing deodorant? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Into the Ether” by Psychadelik Pedestrian

Hobo Radio 353 – Fast food mascot slash fiction

Batman, Courtney Love, Featured, Game of Thrones, Hambur, Hobo Radio, Joel Schumacher, Jurassic World, The Hamburglar, The Noid

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 352 – Farts and boobs and stuff

Avenue Q, Big Trouble in Little China, Book of Mormon, Featured, Game of Thrones, Hobo Radio, John Carpenter, Little Shop of Horrors, musicals, New York, The Rock

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk about, surprisingly, Broadway musicals. Joel’s recent trip to New York to see Book of Mormon sparks a conversation about musical soundtracks, Josh Gad’s “Josh Gad”-ness and the uncomfortable portrayal of Jewish people in Little Shop of Horrors.

They also talk about The Rock’s cinematic renaissance, the lack of insane 80’s-style weirdness in modern films and Sunday’s amazing episode of Game of Thrones.

Why does anyone go to Times Square? What’s on Lars’ iPod? Can Big Vinegar remember his own catch phrase? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Bounce Dat” by Boom Boom & G.U.G.G.
