Hobo Radio 486 – Meryl Streep is overrated

Al Pacino, Black Widow, Hobo Radio, Mama Mia, Meryl Streep, Patrick Stewart, Star Trek

Joel Murphy makes a bold declaration; one that could change the course of Hobo Radio forever. According to him, universally-praised actor Meryl Streep is, a bit, overrated. Lars Periwinkle strongly disagrees.

They also discuss Patrick Stewart’s return to Star Trek, how real-life Russian spy Maria Butina stole Black Widow’s thunder and the rumor that Walt Disney’s last words were “Kurt Russell.”

Is Meryl Streep Al Pacino? Did Pacino and De Niro really never film any scenes together in the movie Heat? Is David Cross there with you? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Kohe Yanneda” by Niranjala Sarojini

The monsters have been split into two categories – sci-fi and horror – and the match ups have been randomly drawn out of a hat. They are also randomly drawing the location of these battles, using four possible locales – Desert, Snowy Mountain, Island Jungle and Bustling Metropolis.

Does King Kong dream? Does the Predator recognize Arnold Schwarzenegger? Is Jason an unstoppable killing machine? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.
