The Book Report Joel Dean & Stephen Reece

Today we discuss lesbian pocket universes, intricate stonework forest wall THAT DONT EXIST IN THE TV UNIVERSE, and beautiful scenes in the 6th episode of Amazon's Wheel of Time adaptation. The Flame of Tar Valon

Stephen is Back! 

We cover the 6th episode of the Wheel Of Time Blood Calls Blood. If you stay after the credits we will go on a tangent about the Expanse books and other probably much better Amazon show!

We got to the good episodes!!!! 

Today we cover the 4th episode in Amazon's Wheel of Time, the first episode that strays far, faaar afield of the books and also the first good pretty much all the way through epiosed. 

Stephen couldn't be on this episode he was busy watching the epic new Spiderman movie... Then Joel couldn't get it edited very fast because he was busy helping people move and doing holiday stuff. buuuut all that doesn't matter because we have the best guest host we could have asked for Jacob Dale, who not only re-watched the episode right before recording but came with pages of notes and instantly became perhaps the best prepared voice you've ever heard on this podcast.



Thanks 1 million to Jacob and we will see you next week with episode 5!

Tune in for our coverage of episodes 2 & 3 of Amazon's Wheel of Time. 

Fair warning we had technical issues, a lot of spoilers, a little to drink and a guest on the episode! 

Thanks again to Joel's BF Dylan Bales for joining us to give the perspective of someone who hasn't read any of the books on the first 3 episodes of season 1. 

We're Back!!!

So Joel has been finally reading the Epic Fantasy series Wheel Of Time, and Amazon is now making it into a show. Stephen and Joel are going to follow along and tell you what they changed from the books, what we wished they would have done and what we thought of each episode. 

Along the way, we're going to have guests with different levels of exposure to the source material come on and give their opinions. 

This week we are taking on the first of what sorta works like a three-parter episode Leavetaking which serves as everyone's... sub-optimal at best live-action introduction to the Wheel of Time universe. 

What's the book about that guy hallucinating all night? or the one where a husband and wife are separated for a long time and totally wink wink didn't cheat on each other? 

Play along as we try to stump each other with badly explained plots. Can you guess them faster than we can? Do you have a badly explained plot you think will stump us we'd love to hear from you email us at BookreportPod@gmail.com
