Hobo Radio: A Pop Culture Podcast: Recent Episodes
Joel Murphy
HoboTrashcan editor Joel Murphy and his longtime friend Lars Periwinkle discuss the latest in pop culture and their lives. With a slew of celebrity interviews under his belt and his access to television and movie screeners, Joel offers a knowledgeable perspective on pop culture while Lars is the voice of the people ... provided that the people are really into Batman, Doctor Who and Star Wars.
The lines between Kestrin Pantera’s real life and the life of her character Kat Ben Atar in Backseat Drivers have become quite blurred.
Both Kestrin and Kat are cello-playing moms with rockstar last names who have strong feelings about the high expectations teachers set for the science fair projects at their daughters’ fancy new schools. And both find themselves regularly interacting with Weird Al Yankovic, David Wain, Jackie Tohn and Tia Carrere in this new life they’ve built for themselves.
This is, of course, no coincidence. As the writer and director of Backseat Drivers, Pantera has decided to incorporate her real-life struggles and write parts for the collaborators she’s been working alongside since joining Wain’s Middle Aged Dad Jam Band.
We talk to Pantera about this new film, finding a healthy balance between fear and inspiration and why she believes Matthew Macfadyen is the superior Mr. Darcy.

When Kate Freund was a child, she wanted to learn how to fight. But her mother signed her up for dance classes instead.
However, the dance lessons didn’t supplant her desire to kick ass. Freund instead combined these two passions into Pretty Lethal; a screenplay about a group of ballerinas who must battle their way out of a bar full of criminals.
The film took over a decade to see the light of day. After many starts and stops, it was released earlier this year on Amazon Prime with a stacked cast that includes Uma Thurman, Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Avantika and Iris Apatow.
We talk to Freund about her journey to get Pretty Lethal on-screen.

Whether you’re watching Showgirls, Face/Off, Bound or one of her countless other films, one thing you can be sure of is that when Gina Gershon shows up on a movie screen, she’s not taking any crap from anyone.
It’s no surprise then that she also doesn’t suffer fools in her personal life. And her new memoir, AlphaPussy, offers stories and advice to guide others on how to navigate the world as she does.
We talk to Gershon about the book, working with Robert Altman on The Player and her battles with Paul Verhoeven while filming Showgirls. And we also get to see the AlphaPussy in action as she lets us know how frustrated she got attempting to sign into our video chat.

AUDIO VERSION:Any devoted Lumon employee hopes to hear the voice of Kier speaking to them. And while they may be prepared for him to speak in mysterious ways, it’s safe to say that they don’t expect to hear him via a Kier statue that’s doing bad comedy alongside Seth Milchick.
But that’s exactly what Mark and Helly got in the season two finale of Severance.
We talk to Marc Geller, who plays Kier on the show, about his unusual role, his desire to film a Kier flashback episode and what it was like working with Eric Andre on the Eric Andre Show.

The members of the Belfast hip hop group Kneecap had every reason to be skeptical in 2019 when they were approached by someone claiming to be a filmmaker who wanted to tell their story.

We chatted with the band and writer/director about the film, the fight to get Irish recognized as a language in the north of Ireland and the chaotic decision to release a new album and movie simultaneously.

Next Thursday, Paramount+ will launch a reboot of the acclaimed sitcom Frasier. One day before its release, another reimagining of Frasier will drop; an unsanctioned one made by a ragtag group of animators and filmmakers who love the show.
Our Frasier Remake is the brainchild of Jacob Reed. It’s a collaboration between over 100 artists who each took a short clip from the season one episode “My Coffee With Niles” and reinterpreted it however they saw fit. The result is a mix of animation, puppets and live action clips pieced together into one chaotic episode.
Joel Murphy and Molly Regan participated in the project. And now Joel sits down with Jacob Reed to discuss this massive undertaking in detail.
