Episodes
Episode 71: Insurance Won’t Cover THAT
Since today is the Autumnal Equinox, I thought we’d go spooky with one of the truly seminal works of horror, The House on the Borderland.
Episode 70: Drama is Always Center Stage
Sense and Sensibility might be my second favorite Jane Austen work. I love the book, but hey, the movie hits it out of the park too!
Episode 69: Heads Will Roll in…OZ???
L. Frank Baum wrote the first American fairy tale with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It’s a surprising book that no movie has yet lived up to.
Episode 68: Blue Men Do It Better
I make a case for Valmiki’s culturally important epic poem, The Ramayana. There might be a flying monkey and a blue guy, but this is a SERIOUS work!
Episode 67: Movies Better Than Books? Blasphemy!
It’s another bonus episode, but it’s a fun one where I lay down my movie adaptation-hating mantle and allow that sometimes, not only do movies get it right, they do it better. Sometimes.
Episode 66: Illogical Diagnoses of Madness
Let’s talk circular logic and a war book that is just plain fun with Joseph Heller’s classic, Catch-22.
Episode 65: Bonus Dante’s Inferno
It’s another bonus episode from my Patreon days and it’s a funny one about details from Dante’s Inferno that I originally left out of the main show for fear of offending a listener. Oh well!
Episode 64: With a Name Like Ambrose, It Has to be Good!
Ambrose Bierce was a short story writer with an influence that is far-reaching. And he was a notorious grouch with an amazing name.
Episode 63: You Know What Bugs Me?
I’m talking about Franz Kafka’s amazing (and short) work, The Metamorphosis! You need a BIG can of Raid for this one.
