It’s another week of lockdown and Joel has watched a million different movies and TV shows and checks in with reviews. Actually, there some things even he, or phone-in guest Corey Hall, refuse to watch, including a new David Spade film on Netflix that looks like the worst thing ever. He’s pushing sixty years old, and Spade still hes acting like a teenager, being too good for the 20-years-his-junior woman that is by any standard attractive. Speaking of attractiveness, Joel details the real crime being done to actresses in Dead To Me Season 2 , and he knows he sounds like a dick doing it. Also, girlfriend Layla, sits in to review Upload, Magic For Humans, Normal People, Hollywood, a belated watch of The Morning Show, and much more. Plus, movie reviews of an 80s classic no one wanted, and the incredible My Dad Is a Heel Wrestler. It’s the best! Plus, Joel talks on Zoom here and here. How’s his background?

The world is so weird right now, and as a guy who likes to tell the truth Joel is here to say nobody knows anything. Not the doctors, the scientists, especially not the politicians. Everybody’s guessing, and Joel is, too. He chats with comedian Kevin Kramis who “won” the right to mow his, and other’s, lawns. Kevin says why he stopped live streaming comedy, how he’s being taken care by unemployment and his new hobby to fill the time. Later, girlfriend and viewing companion, Layla joins Corey Hall and Joel to discuss good the things to watch during the lockdown, which may include, Bad Education on HBO, My Spy, Banana Split, Little Fires Everywhere, After Life, Fleabag and more. It’s getting so bad – Corey actually enjoyed Little Caesar’s Pizza. Let’s all pray for this to end.

Another week in lockdown has Joel calling up his friends. He starts with Ted Moss, who isn’t buying into all the stay at home restrictions and just wants to paint his house, or go out on a boat or whatever else they tell him he can’t do. Ted has also returned from a big podcasting conference and will soon be famous with his own YouTube channel and other podcast gimmicks that all cost him money. Later, Corey halls joins Joel and his girlfriend Layla to discuss what to watch while you’re doing nothing. They recommend HBO’s Run, Crip Camp on Netflix, the great comedy doc It Started as a Joke, and pan The Gentlemen, Birds of Prey, and Like a Boss. Also, Modern Family ends as they’ve probably all died of old age by now.

It’s actually not illegal to paint your house but Ted is angry about it anyway

Joel checks in during the pandemic to interview journalist Steve Miller about coronavirus, America’s response to the crisis and taking guesses at when it all might end. Steve’s also been doing a bunch of reporting on a sensational Florida murder-for-hire case, but he still hasn’t seen Tiger King. Also, comedian Derek Richards checks in from Las Vegas on the state of Vegas, and why comics might actually get a raise out of unemployment. Plus, Joel’s quarantine-mate Layla check in on how they’re staying sane and all the stuff they’ve been watching like McMillions, Tiger King, The Office, Girls, and so much more. You’ll also hear Layla describe giving her first haircut, which might a true-crime case in the future.

Which is worst? Joel’s quarantine haircut or Joe Exotic’s mullet?

Comedian and all-around curmudgeon Bill Hildebrandt returns to chat about how the corporate comedy show is done wrong, the effect of coronavirus on the business and why comedy agents are weasels. It’s an inside comedy talk for sure, but it’s hard to disagree with him – unless you’re an agent or a corporation looking for fun-but-misguided way to entertain your employees. Also, Joel takes Rob Schneider out for breakfast, Atlanta traffic sucks, what happens when a big store closes, and movie production issues that drive Bill nuts. Plus, a TV and movie rundown with The Invisible Man, The Impractical Jokers Movie, The Outsider on HBO, Hunters on Amazon Prime, Breeders on FX and more.
