Hobo Radio: A Pop Culture Podcast

When Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle started doing Hobo Radio together in 2008, they devoted the bulk of the time their first month together to discussing The Dark Knight.

They’ve been somewhat more reluctant to discuss The Batman, which audiences have seemed to love, but they have been more lukewarm on. But today, Julia Hershey joins them to finally have a detailed, spoiler-filled discussion about the film.

Niki Lindroth von Bahr makes intricate stop-motion animation films with anthropomorphic animal characters trapped in mundane existences. She uses these characters and worlds to explore deeper themes like loneliness and existentialism while making very silly visual jokes along the way. Her films really resonate in these bleak times we find ourselves in.

We recently spoke to Niki about the process of making these highly-detailed films and how they have been received across the globe.
