Hobo Radio 338 – Not quite Batman

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.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Hold On” by Aly Jados

When you are young, Halloween is all about fun costumes and copious amounts of candy. But for two curmudgeons in their 30s like Joel Murphy and Lars, today is all about good movies and bad puns. They share their picks for the best Halloween films and also share their most groan-inducing holiday puns.

This week also has the return of the Netflix Game, complete with three Halloween-themed films. Baltimore Joe and Mr. Periwinkle also discuss the Redskins controversial name, the tragic beauty of horror films and the all-new premium Hot Pockets.

What movies should you be watching tonight? Did Jack and Sally really have Halloween on Christmas? What do Irish ghosts drink? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

American history, Comic Con, Hobo Radio, Netflix, Winnie the Pooh

Over the past 263 shows, Joel Murphy and Lars have learned a trick to make the podcasts entertaining: don’t make ‘em special.

This week, it’s another run of the mill Hobo Radio chat covering a wide range of topics. The boys discuss Christopher Robin’s various psychoses on display in Winnie the Pooh, the unreliability of historical records and the misuse of the phrase “based on a true story.” If that wasn’t enough, they also play another round of the Netflix game and come up with a genius solution for how to make Comic-Con accessible to everyone.

Should Christopher Robin be in a mental facility? Is Bubblegum Samurai a real movie? What is Lars’ new catchphrase? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
