Hobo Radio 371 – Tina Belcher is my spirit animal

Featured, Halloween, Hobo Radio, Madlibs, Star Wars, The Leftovers, The Walking Dead

As you can see below, this year for Halloween, Lars Periwinkle went as Tina Belcher. And he quickly found he wasn’t the only Tina in town.

Joel Murphy and Lars both recap their Halloweens. They also discuss our obsession with bleak television shows like The Leftovers and The Walking Dead, spotlight a character actor you should know and question Star Wars’ decision to have officially-licensed apples. They also do another MadLib.

What’s the point of a never-ending zombie apocalypse? Does slapping Darth Vader on apples help sales? Are the guys capable of doing “adult” MadLibs? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “We Were the Stars” by The British IBM

Hobo Radio 326 – Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.

Audio Interviews, Celebrity Interviews, Featured, Hobo Radio, improv, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., The Walking Dead, The Wire

Bob from The Walking Dead and D’Angelo Barksdale from The Wire may not seem that similar on paper, but both characters have a vulnerability and a tragic quality that gets you instantly invested in them, even as you fear for the worst. That’s because they are both played by the charming and talented Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.

Gilliard joins Joel Murphy and Lars to discuss acting, producing his own shows and his newfound passion, improv.

What was it like for the accomplished actor to take an Intro to Improv class? How does it feel to see The Wire finally get the recognition it always deserved? Will Gilliard ever get to finish his sandwich? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “The Ring” and “Butterfly Lament” by Peacock Ball
  • End – “Re: Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton

Hobo Radio 324 – If they’re not funny, at least hopefully it’ll be sexy

dystopian futures, Ernie Hudson, Featured, Ghostbusters, Hobo Radio, Paul Feig, The Walking Dead

Ernie Hudson has been getting criticized lately for comments about the all-female Ghostbusters reboot that many saw as misogynistic. This week, Joel Murphy and Lars analyze those comments in context to see just how bad they actually are.

They also discuss the season premiere of The Walking Dead, Jimmy Buffet concerts and a scary new piece of police equipment that Joel witnessed firsthand.

Who would the boys cast in the new Ghostbusters? What’s whiter than Jimmy Buffet name dropping Dave Matthews? Who is Phil? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Creepy Doll” by Jonathan Coulton
