Hobo Radio 588 – Shouldn’t it be Revenge of the Sixth?

Featured, Hobo Radio, Mad Men, Podcasts, Star Wars, The Sopranos

May the 4th has become a Star Wars celebration day. So Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle spend May the 6th looking at the state of Star Wars films. They question Disney’s decision to fire Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from Solo, considering how well they did with Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse and The Mitchells vs. The Machines, and wonder if Disney is too afraid to do anything original with the franchise.

They also weigh in on Joyce Carol Oates’ criticism of Mad Men and share some thoughts on The Sopranos.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “No Time” by Bronson Scott

Hobo Radio 273 – This is the end?

Breaking Bad, Hobo Radio, Lost, The Sopranos

Breaking Bad came to a close this past Sunday, racking up record-high ratings for its finale. While the majority of fans were satisfied with the finale, some critics complained that it was “too neat” and others went full-on conspiracy theory, claiming that the finale actually took place inside Walter White’s head.

Joel Murphy and Lars talk about the Breaking Bad finale (in vague terms, since Lars hasn’t actually seen it). They also discuss finales in general and their ability to retroactively change the way people feel about a TV show as a whole. They include the polarizing finales of The Sopranos and Lost in their discussion.

Is it time to cut Damon Lindelof a break? Why can’t people in Hollywood write good female characters? What’s the point of making an American remake of a British TV show if you are just going to hire the same British actor to play the part? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Hobo Radio 258 – They’re single, ladies

bad dates, cheese, eating better, Game of Thrones, Hobo Radio, lists, love, Six Feet Under, The Daily Show, The Sopranos, The Wire



If you have ever found yourself wondering why Joel Murphy and Lars are still single, no show has epitomized why the dynamic duo continue to live the bachelor life more than this week’s. They start by talking about their struggles with dating and their need to lose weight, then spend the rest of the time kvetching about the Writer’s Guild of America’s Top 101 Television Shows.

From skipping multivitamins to eating crap food, they continue to make bad choices with what they put into their bodies. And they continue to make bad choices in their romantic lives. But none of their choices are as bad as the WGAs television show rankings.

What’s the worst date Joel has ever been on? How does Lars really feel about Six Feet Under? Why does The Wire continue to be undervalued? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
