    Discussing A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore (Part 1)

    Discussing A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore (Part 1)

    Ben and Nate decide to take a look at a book they read 15 years ago to see if it still holds up. That was a mistake. In Part 1 of our two part discussion of A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore we examine the characters and tone of the book and ask ourselves an important question: Have we grown up?

    Discussing One of Us Is Lying (On the Ground, Choking to Death) by Karen M McManus

    Discussing One of Us Is Lying (On the Ground, Choking to Death) by Karen M McManus

    This week we have another mystery! That we both solved almost immediately. We're not trying to do more mysteries it just happens to be that way. 5 students enter detention. 5 of them leave. Except one of them leaves TO A HOSPITAL! And then he leaves that hospital. IN A BODY BAG!

    The Words About Books boys discuss the mystery of Simon The DeadGuy (I forgot his last name). Who could have killed him? Was it The Jock? The Popular Girl? The Nerd? Or the Bad Boy Criminal? It's The Breakfast Club meets Agatha Christie and the most important question of all has yet to be answered: Which one of them is lying?!

    Lacero: A Ready Player One Canon Fanfiction by Andy Weir

    Lacero: A Ready Player One Canon Fanfiction by Andy Weir

    What? Read that title again. Yes this is Lacero. A fanfic that became canon. Why did it become canon? Listen to a few minutes of the podcast and it all becomes crystal clear. How was a 6 page short story stretched into a 47 minute podcast? Because we're goddamn professionals, that's how.

    Especially Nate.
