The Book Was Better Classics: High school Musical

This is the last classic episode before we return to the first new episodes of 2016, and what a classic it is! This one is the distant Episode 4 and it's all about our favourite hoops doggies as we read the all dancing/dunking novelization of High School Musical! Jessica McLeod and I learn all about American high school in the book that launched two sequels -and another two episodes for us! Then see you next week for Superman Returns!

The Book Was Better Podcast Episode 56: High School Musical 3 (with Jessica McLeod!)

What’s up my Hoops Doggies? This week we finally finish what we started as we put a cap on the epic High School Musical trilogy by reading the flimsy novelization of High School Musical 3! And there is no other possible way to do this than to bring back on-hiatus co-host, our beloved Jessica McLeod! Will there finally be a victor in the bloody war between basketball and theatre? Is it conceivable that a teenager can be good at more than one thing? And will Troy and Gabriella do the forbidden horizontal dance? We have all your vapid, teenage closure right here!

The Book Was Better Podcast Episode 31: High School Musical 2!

The Book Was Better is the podcast where Jessica and I subject ourselves to the hastily written tie-in novelisations of loved/loathed movies for your listening entertainment! Try to explain this concept to an older relative or coworker and thrill at their blank looks of disdainful bewilderment!

This week we return to East High to check in on our pals Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Sharpay and Screech in the novelisation of High School Musical 2! A book which features no music, no lyrics, and has only a handful of pages set in a school. This preposterous piece of teen melodrama fluff is guaranteed to make you feel 20 years older than you actually are!
