In this episode we get recommendations for two great books, plus a movie you might have missed, and a book that hasn’t even been released yet. We start our show with a quick discussion of deep fried hamburgers and other delicious, wacky food, with producer Gary Lucy, then quickly jump into a discussion of the film “Janeane From Des Moines”, which I loved and highly recommend. Next, we talk to writer/comedian Adam Gropman about the terrific one person show “A Carlin Home Companion” by Kelly Carlin, which we both enjoyed immensely and will soon be released as a book. Then, we get to the books, and we’ve got two great ones, “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble” by Zac Bissonnette, a fascinating non-fiction account of the craze that swept the nation and the insane financial bubble that formed within the collectors market. Finally, we discuss a really interesting work of modern fiction, “Then We Came To The End” by Joshua Ferris, a highly acclaimed debut novel that tells a fairly common story in an very uncommon style.
