Joey and Landon

62 episodes

1 week ago

Two lifelong best friends, two greatly different tastes in music. What could go wrong? Each week, comedians Joey Loboda and Landon Sheetz take turns choosing a favorite album for the other to listen to. They dive deep into the artist, why they were chosen, then do a track-by-track review. Will they inspire newfound fandom in each other, or just fight about what genre an album is for an hour? Each episode ends with the other person's pick for next week, so you can listen along with the guys. You just might find some new favorite music yourself!

Interview: Justin Beahm (Phantom Lightkeeper, Reverend Entertainment)

The Buds spend some time with horror industry staple Justin Beahm to talk about his new music project, Phantom Lightkeeper, and how it came to be! They discuss his origins in the film industry, his creative process, how his album "Shore Ghosts" came to be, and everything else that led him to sit in the honorary 3rd chair at Ear Buds HQ!

Then they discuss a bit about what they like to listen to around the Halloween Holidays to get in the mood for spooky - nay, spoopy - season.

EYE BUDS BONUS: Weapons (2025)

A special EYE BUDS review! The Buds deep dive into the HIT cinematic sensation "WEAPONS" from director Zach Cregger. They talk expectations, Cregger's previous work, etc. and then dive DEEEP into the kaleidoscopic world of Weapons, how it plays on expectations, subverts and capitalizes on genre tropes, ties expertly the crafts of comedy and horror in a web of vignetting explorations of loss and trauma, becoming the definitive horror film of the moment. OR maybe they hated it!let us know what you thought of the movie!

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Spoiler Review

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: listen to this 3+ hour DEEP DIVE into the FINAL RECKONING of the decades-spanning spy series that consistently puts Tom Cruise in danger, and audiences in utter delight.

You're used to the Ear Buds deep diving into an album for too long?? Well hear this! They do it for movies now too sometimes!

First they go through all the things that led them to Mission, and all the Missions that led to this 8th installment. Then, they go plot point by plot point through the latest Cruise/McQ set-piece stunt show extravaganza and really get into the nitty gritty. Does the patented Mission style of "build the movie as you go" still work? Is there too much exposition and table setting when there was already a whole other movie to do all of that? Is this podcast episode guilty of all the same stuff, and maybe that's why these movies resonate so much with our lovable Team of Two? Find out!

Let us know what you thought of the movie too!
