    ANYBODY WANT A PEANUT? THE FUNNIEST SON I KNOW WITH DEVIN BARTLETT

    A new year, a new episode, and a new season, which we are kicking off in Grand Style with a GREAT guest, one of the single funniest people on the planet.  He possesses wisdom, kindness, and an encyclopedic knowledge of all things funny, whether they be film, TV, or stand-up, and is prone to drop quotes from any of the above in casual conversation as deftly as a concert pianist playing a concerto.  He’s definitely the kind of guy with whom you’d want to hang out, have a beer, and talk movies.  As a film fan, his list of favorites is truly representative of him as they are COMPLETELY original, unique, and eclectic, and he includes NONE of the movies that have been mentioned so far.  He knows his faves by heart because that’s the location where he keeps them.  And, as if that wasn’t enough of a reason to listen, he just so happens to be the Middle Child of The Robio’s four sons.  (You could insert ‘The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree’ cliche here, but, truth be told, he’s much funnier.).  A rather enjoyable less-than-an-hour.  The PERFECT commute companion.    Sidebar:  If you want to be a Genuine Podcast Celebrity, send us your Five Favorite Funny Films list (with the reasons why you chose them and your favorite scenes/lines of dialogue) to RobioRadioComedyHour@gmail.com .   We will give you a shoutout on the program and, if you are deemed interesting, amusing and/or knowledgable enough,you just might find yourself as a future guest!   What are you waiting for?  Internet Fame Awaits!

    FFFF-Pulling the Rug Out From Under Your MInd with Mike Grief & John Ferrentino

    BONUS!  From the 'Five Favorite Funny Films' Podcast! The Robio welcomes TWO Special Guests, one, an old friend with whom he started out doing comedy at Richard M. Dixon's White House Inn back in 1978, and the other, a VERY funny comedian and comic character actor; both hosts of 'The Big Bad Broadcast', (available wherever you got this particular podcast).   Double the flicks, double the stories, double the fun!  Their lists range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and John ignores the assignment and takes the liberty of adding a sixth title to his. It's a movie one would not normally consider to be a comedy but he pleads a pretty good case for its inclusion.

  4. Time Travel With Mark Bacino

    Time Travel With Mark Bacino

    Our special guest this week is Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Producer, Recording Artist, Teacher, Columnist, and Indy Pop Legend Mark Bacino. His music looms large in the Soundtrack of the Life of Robio.   His Five Fave Funny Films choices are...well, choice, and they also chat about many related and unrelated things, not the least of which is how movies, (and music, by the way) serve as our current method for Time Travel. Along the way, there are some amusing musings concerning the Maturation of Artists, the Heartbreaking Life of the American Teenager, Manhattan as a movie character, and an almost obsessive appreciation of a classic New York Local TV Show, which includes a nostalgic playing of its theme song. His new album, ‘Top of the World,’ is AMAZING and available everywhere.  Plus, at the end of the ‘cast, you get to hear the record’s first single, ‘Kaylee Hughes.’   (You're welcome) A GREAT episode!   If you haven't done so already...subscribe to Five Favorite Funny Films.  Available where you got this Comedic Masterpiece.  And, if you don't mind, give us a five star review.  You know, just so we can entice a sponsor or two.  It's expensive to manage all these talented guests.

    This past June, the world lost a great talent, one of our most favorite guests on the Five Favorite Funny Films Podcast, comedian, actor, and ‘Truly Charming Guy,’ Mr. Hiram Kasten.   In honor of the Celebration of his Life that was held in L.A. on Sunday, August 18th, and with enormous gratitude to his wife Diana for the incredibly dedicated, selfless, and loving care she provided him throughout his long battle with Crohn’s Disease and Prostate Cancer, we offer this special tribute to our dear friend.

    ROBIO RADIO BONUS- FIVE FAVORITE FILMS with Pixie Esmond

    A Racehorse, a Pig, a Cow, and a Bunch of British Catholic Schoolgirls  Sounds like the beginning of a great dirty joke, but they're actually all characters from the Five Favorite Funny Flicks of The Robio's old friend and Renaissance Woman,  Pixie Esmonde: Stand Up Comedian, Actor AND, once the Evil Wardrobe Mistress for KISS! (Spoiler Alert: Her Gene Simmons story is a classic!). She's partial to the British and a huge fan of  NSFW, Outrageously Inappropriate, Horrifyingly Over the Top,  Politcally Incorrect humor.  (Sidebar to PETA- She really doesn't believe that dogs dying is amusing, but she absolutely LOVES  Animal Lover Michael Palin's reaction when he kills several). A GREAT list, Hilarious Stories, and witty banter make for a rather entertaining 46 minutes!
