Joel hasn’t always enjoyed the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he still goes to the movies and the most recent one, Ant-Man and The Wasp, was OK. But making people wait for the post-credit sequences has become a frustrating, ridiculous ritual that should probably end. Joel and Corey Hall review the new film, discuss the “stinger”…

This podcast is known for going off on tangents and taking forever to get to the point, but when comedian Tom McCarthy sat in with Joel and Corey for this week’s show, he had no idea what he was in for. Tom has been a staple of the Detroit comedy scene for fifteen years or…

The world seems crazier than ever, as Trump meets a Korean dictator, IHOp changes its name, Anthony Bourdain dies, and the NBA is the most important thing in the world – to some people. Stuff got weird this week. Really weird. Also, Corey Hall meets a big celebrity in Detroit, but it wasn’t a great…

The Jedi Council re-convenes for a review of the latest Star Wars movie: Solo: A Star Wars Story. Joel, Corey Hall, Josh Bowab and new member Paul, an artist and lifelong Star Wars fan, break down the latest film which was a plagued production with a director switch and a rush to release. It’s actually…

It’s so sad to say goodbye to friend and comedian Mike Lundy, a frequent guest on this podcast, who passed away recently. Joel and Corey share their memories of Mike, play some clips of Mike from the show and remember the great talent he was. Joel tried to assemble the best of his previous appearances…

Kanye West went crazy this past week, but Joel think that’s another day for him. Corey Hall disagrees and solicits the aid of comedian Jeff Horste, who calls in to tell us what he thinks as he grew up in Southfield, an ethnically mixed neighborhood, with a bad mustache. Jeff shares his thoughts on the hip-hop legend and shares stories of his newfound success working with Kevin Hart and filming a Comedy Central special in Los Angeles. Also, Jeff tells us about having a sex toy thrown at him onstage last week – you’ve made it now, Jeff! Plus, Mitzi Shore’s belated obituary, Avengers: Infinity War gets reviewed and find out which Marvel films you should really see first, Joel reviews Blockers and The Greatest Showman, Conan goes to thirty minutes, and the White House Correspondents Dinner should probably go away for good.

So many celebrities died in the last two weeks that it inspired Joel to come up with a new game to cover all the obituaries – The Hat of Death. Joel Corey Hall, and comedian Sal Demilio pull names of dead celebrities out of a hat and give instant, improvised, non-researched eulogies to the likes of R. Lee Ermy, Barbara Bush and Harry Anderson. And not to give him short-shrift, Mini-Me Verne Troyer died, too, giving delight to this podcast’s hosts and listeners alike. The guys also mourn the loss of Bruno Sammartino, try to figure out who Avicii was, and wonder who was the most bangable First Lady in US history. Also, the Elvis Presley documentary on HBO is good, but seems incomplete, Andre the Giant’s documentary is also fun and you’ll hear Joel’s memory of seeing Andre wrestle live. Plus the classic episode of the week takes us back to November 2006, for no good reason whatsoever.

Joel Radio welcomes back comedian Derek Richards who was recently mentioned by Joel as one of the funniest comedians offstage. He lives up to that billing on this show, sharing hilarious road stories, tales of really bad gigs, descriptions of life in Florida and Las Vegas and much more. Corey Hall had some bad gigs too, including some small-town excuses for low turnout that you won’t believe. It’s been almost thirteen years since Derek joined us on the show, and it was long overdue! Also, the guys review The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling on HBO, a overly-long, but wonderful portrait of a comedic genius. Plus, HBO’s Barry is worth a look, Joel and Corey drop some quarters into Ready Player One, Corey goes to the Isle of Dogs and much more stupidity.
