  • The Devil’s Candy by Julie Salamon
    Jul 1 2024

    Wrong way: read books about making good movies.
    Right way: read books about making a bad movie, and then don’t do that.
    This book tells the story of a historic box office flop,
    Bonfire of the Vanities. (It is historic in the sense that someone wrote a book about it.) Hear us make fun of the people who made it! Even though they seem very talented!

  • Swan Song, by Robert R. McCammon
    Jun 18 2024

    A magic girl (barely), a sociopath boy who thinks he's a knight, a strong guy who got fired from wrestling, and a bad guy with a mouth where his ear should be but only sometimes, I know this sounds made up . . . and it is, it's all made up in this book. Also there's an apocalypse, but that was probably obvious.

Laugh and Learn then Laugh Again

Kellen Erskine was funny enough already but adding a David makes everything better...except the writing in this review.

I've read most of the books they talk about but never laughed like this while reading (most of) them. Plus, they actually DO go through the main points of the books in a very clear and helpful way.

The episodes are safe to listen to with children too. ALL of them. Even the scary-sounding episode 69...once they record that one in this timeline. What if they number the episodes like hotels number floors and there's no 13, no 69, no 666?

Laughter Assault…. ????

The high school geek inside me cheers every time I share that David Vance’s high school band’s name was “Pangea” Its to brilliant to be said and not get a laugh. Eventually everyone I share it with laughs….. I repeat it and define it until they do!!!! Hmmmm… maybe that’s laughter assault? Hmmmmm…

Two comedians reviewing books-what could go wrong?

Everything...in the best ways possible.

Kellen is my favorite comic and I enjoy the chemistry he and David have.

Overflowing sadness

I started listening to the podcast a few weeks ago and couldn't stop. I'm nearing the end of the episodes and don't know how I'm going to handle only listening to one episode a week. Never thought books could be so much fun and love the witty banter between Dave and Kellen (or should I say Kellen and Dave). Every episode is comedy gold. Also, as overwhelmingly positive as I've tried to make the review, I'm sure Kellen will find a way to twist it into something less than complimentary. P.S. Please roast "The Crave Series." Your listeners will love it.

This podcast is great.

These guys are funny and their concept is very educational. I am surprised it's not much more popular.
