Hobo Radio 538 – We’re talking about Joker again and I’m so sorry

This year’s Academy Award nominations are out and they are once again so white and so baffling. In a surprise move, Joker receives the most nominations of any film and it joins Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, JoJo Rabbit, Little Women, Marriage Story, 1917, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood and Parasite on the list of Best Picture nominees.
Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle share their thoughts on all of the nominations. They also discuss Hollywood’s love of remakes and the new Birds of Prey trailer.
This week’s music:
- Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
- End – “When Jokers Attack” by Brian Jonestown Massacre
