Customer Reviews
Approachable and Fun — Every Time!
STBAMMP is an excellent mix of witty discussion and clever connections between the source material (the book) and the visual adaptation (the movie). With the adorable chemistry between the two hosts (hello, they’re married for a reason) and added bonus of an occasional vocal cat meow, it doesn’t matter if you’ve read or seen the subject matter, you’ll be listening and laughing anyways.
