The Book Was Better Episode 150: Annual Novelization Challenge - Elf Man!

It's that time of year! Welcome to the annual Book Was Better Novelization Challenge! The tables have turned when WE write the novelization instead of making fun of it! The hard-working Tim the Stats Man has gifted us a transcript of 2012's obscure movie Elf Man (starring Wee Man from Jackass!) and a team of us have banded together Exquisite Corpse style to adapt it into our very own, original festive novelization! Unlike our regular episodes this one is a full audio book (running a whopping 2 1/2 hours!) and featuring: Jessica, Lizzy Unpronounceable, Courtney Coulson, Suzanne, Jacinta, Paris and work from Hector Weenis, Kenney, and Zach! By far our biggest episode ever and what better way to celebrate our 150th!

The Book Was Better Podcast Episode 42: New York Minute (with guest host McNally!)

The Book Was Better is the podcast where we inexplicably read the often terrible tie-in novelisation of your loved/loathed films and then discuss, debate, and make fun of it.

Episode 42 is our long-awaited, all-mighty, massive globe-spanning, star-spangled extravaganza! After many, many months of poking fun at the culture of our American friends, a real-life American listener, the indomitable McNally, joins me over skype to read the All-American favourite New York Minute, based on the movie starring twin spider monkeys Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen! A bald eagle cries! A dingo howls! It’s the U.S. versus Australia in perhaps our most significant episode yet! Miss this and you’re a communist!

The Book Was Better Podcast Episode 36: Star Trek Generations (With Guest Host John Robertson!)

The Book Was Better is the podcast where we debate/discuss/demolish the (usually) ridiculous tie-in novelization of famous (and infamous films!).

In the epic Episode 36 guest host, the mighty John Robertson, and I set phasers to “kill” for Star Trek Generations, the awkward book of the awkward film that took Captain Kirk and Captain Picard and hideously mashed them together!

John is a comedian, writer, performer, MC, and general gad-about-town who knows infinitely more about Star Trek than I do. So if you’re a fan of Star Trek you’re going to love this, and if you’re not then you’re about to learn about it in one of the most entertaining ways possible!
