This week, Joel Murphy and Lars decide to shake thing up. Bucking tradition, Lars does the intro to the show and he does it in a mellow NPR style. His sophisticated introduction classes up this week’s special podcast, which in true NPR style is brought to you by a grant from the HGFA.
While the show may sound a bit classier this week, the guys are still discussing the same lowbrow stuff. This week, the dynamic duo discuss movie twist endings, Olivia Wilde’s CGI nipples in The Change-Up and Hulk Hogan’s new reality wrestling show featuring little people.
What letter does “job” start with? How many movie endings can Joel and Lars spoil? What separates a regular leg drop from a Big Leg Drop? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Sometimes a story is so entertaining it just simply has to be read aloud. Joel Murphy came across one such story on the Huffington Post this week. The headline was as follows: “Hitler Gave Nazi Soldiers Blow Up Sex Dolls To Combat Syphilis: Book.”
After discussing Nazi blowup dolls, they dynamic duo turn to a story sent in by a reader: actor James Franco has created a “Museum of Non-Visible Art” and one of his artists recently sold a piece. The piece didn’t actually exist, it was just an idea. Joel and Lars can’t help but think this is the definition of an “Emperor’s New Clothes” situation.
Why does Hollywood insist on retelling comic book origin stories? What was the non-existent piece of art that sold and how much did it sell for? Why should you know Leslie Bibb? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
Bastille Day has Lars speaking French. It also has him pining for lesbians and questioning his own sexuality. You see, Lars has had a few close encounters with homosexuality, but try as he might, he’s never had a gay experience.
In addition to Lars’ over-sharing, the dynamic duo also discuss Google+, this year’s Emmy nominations and Hollywood’s plans to remake The Evil Dead. Also, in honor of Bastille Day, Joel Murphy and Lars share their preferred method of execution.
How would Joel and Lars like to be killed? How off the mark are this year’s Emmy nominations? Is Lars gay? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
There are weeks when these podcasts are meticulously planned out with detailed show notes covering all of the topics Joel Murphy and Lars will be discussing. This is not one of these weeks.
Instead, in their first show in person since Joel relocated to Baltimore, the dynamic duo decide to just wing it and have a fun, free-flowing conversation. As a result, they touch on a wide variety of subjects, including the schemes of 80s cartoon villains, the advantages of being tall and what life is like when you are a younger sibling.
Is being the youngest in the family really like being in prison? What planet do the Transformers come from? Is Shia LeBeouf a virgin? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
