Hobo Radio 312 – Matter was antimatter’s Joshua Tree

Black Widow, Bronies, Disney, Featured, hipsters, Hobo Radio, Marvel, Star Wars

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars take hipsterdom to the extreme and explain how the world was cool before the Big Bang.

They also discuss Bronies, Disney’s new Star Wars theme park and Joel’s pitch for a dinosaur holocaust movie. And they try to figure out what is keeping Marvel from making a Black Widow movie.

What other movie franchises would you like to see turned into theme parks? What did Spielberg’s dad do to him? Can you ride a centaur? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Spartan and Free” by Son of Dov

Hobo Radio 311 – It’s kind of food

Batman, Featured, Guardians of the Galaxy, Hobo Radio, Marvel, The Simpsons

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.

  • End – “The Last Day of Fighting” by Tim Carr

Hobo Radio 298 – John Wayne Gacy’s garage sale

Black Widow, DC, Featured, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hobo Radio, John Pinette, Marvel, Wonder Woman

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.

This week’s music:

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

Hobo Radio 291 – A six-percent absorption threshold

comics, DC, Featured, Hobo Radio, Marvel, panties, Russia

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.

  • End – “Dr. Goodfoot” by Hulon
