A new episode! Why? Joe and Brian and a special guest (kind of) get together to discuss the Wonder Woman sequel, the comedy wars, comedy venues closing, and the downfall of comic books. It's the year end wrap up you've been waiting for and also a great way to start the new year. So forget that the country is on fire and let us distract with our barely coherent rantings. 

Comedy Sucks!

Warning: Spoilers Behind

Joe and Brian are back! Tom Kelly joins us to discuss the death and possible rebirth of New York. A praying mantis nearly derails the show and we attack Governor Cuomo as well as the comedy scene. Joe and Tom talk about their bonding experience in Florida back in 2006. Also Tom bought Instagram followers and used to do warmup for "The View' making him one of our most famous guests. 

Episode 56: This Is His Vegas

We are finally back and holy crap what a loaded episode. We talk about the lockdown, the death and rebirth of stand up comedy, all the gigs that Joe did before everything went to hell, social media, movies, and barbers? We recorded this episode outside so enjoy the background noise of birds and helicopters. 

Episode 55: Brian Hogan Likes This

Joe and the gang (Brian) are back mainly to discuss the latest Star Wars movie. But also since we took such a long hiatus we also touch on the Joker movie, the comedy civil war, and Joe's America's Got Talent audition. 2019 year in review! 

Episode 54: The Dark Skywalker Rises

This episode is kind of a throwback where *gasps* we actually discuss comedy for a full hour. Neil Charles, originally from New York and now living in Los Angeles sits down with Joe minus Brian Hogan who is with us in spirit.  We discuss auditioning for TV shows, bringer shows, Eddie Murphy's return to comedy, comics visiting other cities, and comedians who give each other unwanted notes. 

Episode 53: I'm From LA

Joe and Brian are reunited and it's only mildly exciting. We jump right into the comedy chaos that went down online over the weekend which has us wondering, where does it end?  Joe tries to prove he's a nice guy and explains how he feels reinvigorated while performing recently. We also discuss the early days of the Long Island comedy scene, our shared hatred of Impractical Jokers and give a spoiler-y review of Spider-man: Far From Home. Get ready to cancel us! 

Episode 52: Cancel This Podcast

This week Joe Pontillo absorbs the power of the Dark Phoenix and decides to fly solo so he can not only give you a review of the movie but also close the book on 19 years of X-Men movies. Holy crap, where did my life go? It's a fun 30 minutes of X-Men talk and then Joe finishes it off with a quick rundown of some comedy news and pet peeves. Brian Hogan is of course there in spirit. 

Episode 51: Bought By Disney

It's our 50th episode, that we don't really celebrate. We also finally discuss Avengers: Endgame which has been ruining both Joe and Brian's lives for several weeks.  We don't really do a review though we just kind of make a bunch of ridiculous statements and Joe points out all the things that ultimately bothered him about the movie. Major spoilers! Also, duh. In addition to Endgame, we also discuss the 20th anniversary of The Sopranos and the finale of Game of Thrones a show which Joe has never actually watched. 

Episode 50: YouTube Recommends

Took a while but we're back and on this episode Joe gives his long awaited (by no one) review of Captain Marvel. Bad news for the internet, Joe liked it but he took a lot of time to try and understand your hatred of the character, the actress, and possibly your general displeasure with Hollywood.  Oh yeah ***SPOILER-Y REVIEW*** Also Joe talks about how he fell off the wagon and did another roast battle and has once again retired from the circuit. 

Episode 49: Crashing Marvel

Oh no, we're back again and this time we have Mike Calcagno on to discuss some recent gigs he and Joe did together and find out why he's doing comedy. We also talk about the Oscar's, Joe sort of reviews Aquaman and then we have a real breakthrough in the last five minutes of the show, so stick around! 

Episode 48: Pod Rescue

We are back for some reason with a kind of end of the year wrap up that's sort of a big mess. We attempted to discuss all of the big comedy news of 2018 and then fail miserably. Joe finally saw Black Panther and also shares his thoughts on Venom. Brian tells a story that goes nowhere and Joe tells a story that almost goes somewhere but not quite.  

Episode 47: Comedian In Hell

Tell the world, we are back with an absolutely insane episode. We end up covering two months of comedy and entertainment news. Joe has a meltdown about a bad review and discusses his current feelings about doing comedy. We diss some other people's podcast and attempt to dissect the Eminem-Machine Gun Kelly feud while also catching up with all the apparent outrage we missed after the Captain Marvel trailer dropped. Stick around until almost the end to listen to us react to it in real time. Also YouTube drama and Henry Cavill out as Superman? Lol WTF Omg ROTFL!? 

Episode 46: Disscast

After a savage cold open where Joe has an emotional breakdown about losing not one but two joke books, we dive into all the comedy and entertainment news that we can remember. We of course discuss the James Gunn situation and how everyone should delete their old tweets whether they're offensive or not.  We also briefly discuss Ant-Man and The Wasp (Spoilers) and Joe desperately tries to give away Brian's new TV. And if that isn't all we all go on a nerd rage about Fortnite. This is one episode you will probably want to miss!

Episode 45: Lost Joke Books

We're back and we have a sponsor this month. Just like a real show! Check out www.Hempworx.com for more info. On the episode, Joe and Brian attempt to discuss Solo and explain how Star Wars fans are the most terrifying people on the planet. We talk about Roseanne and Samntha Bee, oh and also Robert DeNiro. And if that wasn't enough, Joe tragically waxes poetic about the current state of his career.  Make sure to check the schedule and let us know when you're ready to listen to this episode! 

Episode 44: Solo - A Comedy Story

A lot going on in this week's episode as we discuss Michelle Wolf and the White House Correspondent's Dinner and all the absurdity that followed. We also discuss some random twitter comedy news, an incident at a NYC comedy club and our much awaited semi-review of Avengers: Infinity War. This is an episode you probably shouldn't miss. 

Episode 43: We're Gonna Do Big Things

Joe Pontillo hosts this show which focuses on the all the terrible things that revolve around stand up comedy. Each week we talk about a different aspect of the business and each week we get insanely angry about it. Joe will also take you on a journey through his comedy career and talk to some equally angry guests. Lots of stories, lots of hate!
