One of my favorite comfort movies, incidentally.

[@ezekielhughes2224]

It is an incredibly comforting film. If I were to try to apply Joe's own expert rating system in order to more eruditely express my feelings about it in a concise and simple way, I suppose I would have to give it Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok.

[@matts719]

My favorite comfort movie wasn’t a movie, it was your show Joe. Thank you for this.

this is a podcast for real hobbitheads who appreciate great films like the hobbit: an unexpected journey (2012, 169 mins), and even participate in write-in campaigns for films as great as this. so glad there is now a podcast for film buffs like us

I am so thrilled to hear Joe's voice once again as it's been too long since the sad abrupt ending of his show.

[@elgringoperdido.]

I made lentil soup tonight for dinner and now I am laying under warm blankets listening to Joe :)

[@elgringoperdido.]

@@matthewnienkirchen8083 good idea :)

[@amystrajnar6462]

By sheer coincidence (???) this video appeared just as I was sitting down to eat the soup I'd just made! It's a Thai tom kha, so perhaps too spicy and exotic to accompany a Joe Pera podcast; I think a cream of potato and cauliflower with lots of melted cheddar would have been more appropriate. Joe Pera is like a warm bowl of soup in human form. Jo could be the little packet of oyster crackers that comes on the side. 🥣❤ Jo shouldn't feel too bad: I once gave myself food poisoning with a miso soup I made. It was the fresh shiitakes (very aptly named. Haha.)

[@lgd4247]

Lol! I've soup on the stove, too! Sat down and behold, Joe Pera talking soup.

Jo Firestone talking about Moonstruck is what America needs

[@maxducks2001]

I played this when I went to bed, and I literally fell asleep within the first four minutes. Not only that, it put me to sleep so hard, that I woke up with a 5.5 hour history podcast episode about Vikings that had autoplayed and finished as soon as I woke up. I can personally attest to the power of this podcast. Joe, you’ve made magic. I can’t wait to hear you next first Sunday of the month, and I’ll be sure to give this a proper listen on my way to work today.

[@chinookvalley]

Instead of regular egg noodles, I tried some rice vermicelli that came from the food bank. I mixed it with some left over chicken and broth, fresh sliced zucchini, summer squash, chopped onion and bell pepper that I had let cook until transparent, then added the vermicelli. What a treat. Stay warm. Thanks Joe and Jo.

[@timopheim5479]

Rice+soup is always tasty

Just finished. I don't mind calling myself a true Joe Pera content junkie. And I feel like that was my first fix in a lonnnng time. Superb. Now is it too much to ask for hourly installments with daily compilations... looped for 8 hours with no ads for a good night's sleep?? Ok sorry I love you
