Ep 49 - Escape from Virtual Island / More Bedtime Stories for Cynics / Heads Will Roll

55m · Published 03 May 05:01

This month we’re doing something a little different. Not only are we discussing three books instead of one, we’re discussing three free books that come with an Audible subscription. The first is Escape from Virtual Island by John Lutz and read by Paul Rudd, Jack McBrayer, Jane Krakowski and a top notch cast. When a guest goes missing in the virtual simulation, a group of employees has to go in and try to track him down. The second is More Bedtime Stories for Cynics by several authors and read by Nick Offerman, Sir Patrick Stewart, Jane Lynch and more top notch celebrities. What happens when you strip out all of the kid friendly parts of a bedtime story? You are left with extremely weird, adult humor. Finally we discuss Heads Will Roll by Kate McKinnon & Emily Lynne and read by Kate McKinnon, Emily Lynne, Tim Gunn, Peter Dinklage and even more awesome people. An evil queen has to scheme to keep control of her kingdom when the peasants start talking about something called an “election.” Next month we are reading Greenlights by Matthew McConaughy.

Ep 46 - Ready Player Two

1h 17m · Published 01 Feb 06:01

Sequels are hard. Well, a great sequel is hard, sequels are really easy if the current book, movie, TV and video game market are considered. Ready Player One was a break out hit for Ernest Cline and even scored a movie version produced by Steven Spielberg! So when a sequel was announced everyone was energized to see how well it would hold up to the original, to include the members of this show. This month, we discuss our thoughts on our return to The Oasis as we catch up with old friends and see what has become of Wade and his friends. February’s book will be The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman.
