Ep 83 - The Kaiju Preservation Society

Kaiju are giant, monstrous creatures, like Godzilla, best known for destroying cities and wreaking havoc on the planet. But what if they needed our help to stay safe? If there was a place where kaiju could live without harming our world, and could be potentially hunted or harvested for financial gain, you better believe people would try to take advantage of them! This month we explore that idea in The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

Ep 82 - Starter Villain

A lot of people dream about a mysterious uncle dying and leaving them money; so much so its a trope in most media. But what if a mysterious uncle did you leave money. And not just a little, millions, billions, even trillions of dollars? That would be awesome! except for the fact its all tied up in his business that you now have to run. The business of being a villain. Oh and your cat has been spying on you for years and was sent by your uncle to do so. That’s exactly what happens to Charlie in this month’s book, Starter Villain by John Scalzi.

Ep 46 - Ready Player Two

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.

Ep 3 - Ready Player One

If you are a child of the 80's like most of here on the site, you probably have fond memories of that decade. The music, the movies, the TV, the games, everything had a distinct feel. And while we have seen a resurgence of 80's culture because everything old is new again, it's not like everyone is reliving that decade. But what if we did... in order to win a game... for control of the world? Ready Player One by Ernest Cline proposes that exact thing. Imagine spending most of your time in a virtual world dedicated to the 80's! This month we dissect this love letter to the "Big" decade and share our feelings and love for it as well.

Ep 2 - The Martian

What would you do if you were stranded and left for dead in a remote location? Would you fight to survive even if the odds were heavily stacked against you? Image that scenario, but on Mars. This month we discuss The Martian by Andy Weir. We walk through the major plot points as well as our personal thoughts on the characters, story, differences between the book and movie and what we would do in that situation. Make sure to stay until the end for the next book we're reading.
