Week 117 Spotlight: Southern accents and butt jokes
Last week, the brilliant Chris Kirkman was on the show sharing his theories on the new season of Lost (and bossing our dynamic duo around). This week, Joel Murphy and Lars are sans Kirkman, so they are back to their old shenanigans, which include funny accents and “blue” humor.
They are also back to doing what they do best – arguing about movies. They have two movie lists to break down – Moviefone’s top 25 action films and Empire Online’s list of the 50 worst films of all time. It should come as no surprise that they completely disagree with the rankings in both lists and aren’t shy about sharing their opinions.
Will they ever stop talking about how great Die Hard is? What is Lars’ new hilarious impression? Is Vivid really making a Batman porn? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week, we are shaking things up a bit. In honor of Lost’s impending final season, Joel Murphy and Lars have invited Chris Kirkman, HoboTrashcan’s resident Lost expert, on to discuss the show. Ben Linus himself, Michael Emerson, described Kirkman’s recaps as “one of the smartest articles I’ve ever read about what goes on on our show,” so needless to say, the guy knows what he’s talking about.
Joel and Lars, of course, do not. But much like Hurley on the show, they are here this week to represent the common man and to interject with their amusing comments. And to get plastered.
You see, like he does every week in his recaps, Kirkman is providing us all with a show-inspired drink recipe:
THE DO-OVER
Bourbon
Ginger brandy
Sweet & Sour mix (or a real citrus mix)
Ice
Combine equal parts bourbon and ginger brandy (or ginger beer, or even ginger ale, if you’re hard up – something with a bite), half as much sour mix, all over ice. The recipe can be tweaked, with ginger beer substituted, or with vodka instead of bourbon if you want more ginger flavor. Also, a good variation is using hot ginger tea, combine that with the brandy, add bourbon to taste.
So pour a nice tall one and enjoy the show.

As Avatar continues to break box office records, it encourages other films to incorporate 3D visual effects in order to capitalize on this latest trend. And since George Lucas never met a dollar he didn’t like, he is already on record saying that James Cameron’s revolutionary film is “a new impetus” to rerelease his original Star Wars films in 3D.
Since Joel Murphy and Lars hate 3D effects and are tired of Lucas’ greed, you can imagine how nonplussed they are about Hollywood’s obsession with the third-dimension. They also aren’t too pleased with Noodles and Company and criminals posing as Batman.
What would Joel and Lars do with a million dollars? Is Noodles and Company a fast food establishment or a restaurant? Why does Hayden Christensen sound like James Earl Jones when inside the Darth Vader suit? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

With the incompetence of NBC and the evilness of Jay Leno once again dominating entertainment headlines, Joel Murphy and Lars cheer themselves up by focusing their attention on creating a high class Avatar porn.
It’s the type of sophisticated and intellectual conversation you’ve come to expect from our dynamic duo. They break down the script, the costumes and even offer a spot in the film to you lucky listeners. Somehow, they also find the time to discuss the latest in the Jay Leno/Conan O’Brien debacle and the future of the Spider-man movie franchise.
Why do Joel and Lars need vans and mustaches? Do blue cat people order pizzas? What color are Smurfs’ nipples? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
