  • SBBC: Murderbot (Season 1 Ep 3) - "Risk Assessment"
    May 25 2025

    Kate, Matt, and Rachel discuss the third episode of the Murderbot series, "Risk Assessment". As always, we are trying our best to use "it" for Murderbot and I think we improved immensely. Shooting to be even better about "it" next time!

  • SBBC: Murderbot (Season 1 Ep 1&2) - "FreeCommerce" and "Eye Contact"
    May 16 2025

    Surprise! We're chatting Murderbot today and every Friday while new episodes are airing! As you know, we've already covered these books with Kate back in 2023(?) - A long time ago... so there are bound to be some spoilers although we are going to try and keep it to the show relevant information for anyone who hasn't read the books.

    These are fun, lightly edited episodes because we are literally just too excited about this show to not talk about it (I had it in my calender app Ya'll, that's serious). So there may be asides, coughs, chit chat, etc. Enjoy this little bit of extra ASMR and YES we know that Murderbot is "It" and we are going to do our best to get the hang of "it", we promise!

  • "Black River Orchard" by Chuck Wendig
    Mar 7 2025

    Contains Spoilers! Also, we are moving! So there will be no book episode in April or probably May but then you get to hear all about how we moved to an abandoned motel in a remote lake side town in the far, far north. Which sounds like a book premise but it isnt!

    Matt and Rachel discuss the book, "Black River Orchard" by Chuck Wendig. Did we love it? Did we get the same joy out of this horror novel as we did out of Double Dead? Why has Chuck disavowed Double Dead (seemingly)? Let's get into it.

  • Repost - "David Lynch's Dune (1984)" - Part epic adventure, part fever dream, and all Lynch.
    Jan 17 2025

    In honor of the late, great, David Lynch. Here's a repost of our episode on his absolutely bananas adaptation of Dune. Would he be glad to be remembered for this movie? No. Do we love him for it anyways? Also yes.
