The "five people you meet in heaven" was covered by Worst Bestsellers today. I guess one of the people I meet is a blue guy who I get killed? Edit: This sounds like a slog of a book. Eddie is racking up a kill count too. Edit 2: How was this a book??? RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 02:55 on May 21, 2019 |

The debut is solid, when they were underdogs and still a band instead of a toy franchise.

Speaking of, now everything that I personally know about gene simmons comes from the radio call-in that chris linked in the show notes; it's absolutely bonkers, a huge recommend. I'm glad I listened to it at home by myself instead of out in public somewhere due to the range of facial expressions I unconsciously made in response to itRandomPauI posted:I don't know why I listen to this podcast when so many of the books they review are painful to listen about.

Whenever the book at hand is an action/thriller starring Tough White Male Variant I've gotten to the point of just skipping them, they're all samey and I just kind of drift off and stop paying attention

They just aren't interesting enough even in bad way to make for good riffing.

I would be fine if there were just Music biographies. This is why I started to listen to And Introducing..., which covers just these and music in general. J.W. Friedman was on the Sebastian Bach episode.

Teen Creeps just did the first Joanne Fluke cookie baking mystery for an Outside Genre and it was my favorite episode of theirs in months.

Semi-related I liked Teen Creeps while they were going through all the Fear Street and RL Stein I remembered avidly reading as a teen, but stopped listening when it went all modern-ish YA. Is there a good book podcast that focuses on trashy TSR fantasy books? One of my favourite IDEOAT was "Dragons of Autumn Twilight" and I'd love more stuff like that.

I used to love the podcast but I haven't listened to a new episode since around when they started doing the cozy mysteries.

Cozy mysteries are much less interesting than dick-swinging early 20th century adventure novels, and there has been too much of both lately. Give me another goddamn reality show lady book. Give me another video game book. Give me another Pregnesia. (Which Smart Bitches, Trashy Books covered yeeeears ago, tbh.) GIVE ME MODELLAND, YOU AWESOME GENTLEMEN.

The best podcast about Modelland wasn't even a book podcast, it was just drunk Sydnee McElroy explaining the plot to her increasingly baffled husband. It was 2013 or something so good luck digging that one up.

I sent them several pages of an incredible Scruples-y Hollywood trash book ages ago and still haven't seen any sign of it. They (kinda) took me up on my Joan Collins recommendation, so I don't know what the deal is. Edit: Might as well share a bit.

I don't care what book they do, I just want them to have guests again. The episodes with guests are consistently and significantly better than the episodes where it's just the two of them, and they almost never have them any more.

Parts two and three for your convenience: http://satellitedish.libsyn.com/a-satellite-dish-special-modeland-part-2 http://satellitedish.libsyn.com/a-satellite-dish-special-modelland-part-3 Listened to this at work. I had gotten used to the weird fantasy world and its Metalocalypse-esque obsession with a single activity. The part that broke me was the lesson of the first major test at the academy. I thought the hallucinations of their faces melting off was going to give some trite lesson about identity, so “Don’t share makeup. That’s unsanitary,” hit me like a truck.

Youth Decay posted:I refuse to believe that Skillset Magazine is not satire. This was the best episode in a long time, it turns out you don't have to have a bunch of forced games and activities to fill time when the thing you're talking about is actually interesting enough to support an episode on its own. Honestly like a lot of people in this thread I've been losing a lot of interest in the show and it feels like the recent focus on cozy mysteries and disposable manly adventure books is them coping with running out of actually interesting or provacative titles by choosing books that are quick and easy to read because they have to get through something for the show. I would be happy if the show expanded its breadth to include things other than books or they moved on to a different project rather than getting diminishing returns out of some sense of inertia or obligation.

All their patreon episodes are in this vein, just playing fast & loose with something strange or goofy, and a lot of the time it makes for far better listening imo. They did an old High Times, an Air Guitar handbook, f-ing Cool Cat Saves the Kids, a bunch of great stuff. I ended all my patreon pledges a year ago when money was tight and never resubbed to IDEOTV because I'd lost a lot of interest in the main show. If they split their 2 episodes a month between one book and one "book-like object" such as Skillset they'd be less stressed for time and possibly put out a better product, but then I dunno what special sauce they'd do for patreon people. Right now a lot of their funniest content is paywalled :/

New episode about Pokémon: Detective Pikachu: The Story of the Movie featuring Kotaku’s Gita Jackson. Surprisingly, the guest’s Plot in 60 Seconds is very good even if she runs way over, and it’s fun hearing her and J geek out for Pokémon.
