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 Interview – Vincent Rodriguez III from Crazy Ex–Girlfriend

Audio Interviews, Celebrity Interviews, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Featured, Hobo Radio, Marc Webb, Rachel Bloom, Vincent Rodriguez III

On Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, protagonist Rebecca Bunch abruptly packs up her life and moves from New York to West Covina, California in hopes of recapturing the happiness she found with her summer camp boyfriend Josh Chan. She makes the move after the universe gives her a series of signs, including a collection of butter ads, that West Covina is where she belongs.

Like Bunch, veteran Broadway actor Vincent Rodriguez III, who plays Josh Chan, seems to have had the universe conspiring to cast him on the show. His years of experience singing and dancing, as well as his warmth and positivity, made him the perfect guy to play Chan.

We recently talked to Rodriguez about his struggles to convince his father that acting was a “real job,” his use of Tupac’s “Thugz Mansion” in his audition for Chan and his thoughts on whether or not Rebecca and Josh should be together.

This week’s music:

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

Hobo Radio 415 – What has that got to do with it?

28 Days Later, Betty Curse, Featured, Ghostbusters, Gladiator, Hobo Radio, Ken Bone

Lars Periwinkle is a bit concerned about his good buddy Joel Murphy. It seems he recently got a text from Joel that he was watching Gladiator, a movie they both have mocked endlessly for its inexplicable Best Picture win.

They also talk about the rise of debate superstar Ken Bone, Joel takes some time to nitpick one actor’s performance in Ghostbusters and Lars updates us on the surprising career turn for one of the actors in 28 Days Later.

Why did Joel watch Gladiator in its entirety? Is Betty Curse a pun? What has that got to do with it? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Saturday” by Maxwell Powers
