What happens when Star Wars creator/destroyer George Lucas hires X-Men writer Chris Claremont to make a trilogy in the style of Lord of the Rings? An incomprehensible, sodden mess, as it turns out. A gritty reimagineering of slash sequel to a schlocky, shticky, slapsticky non-hit children’s movie called Willow, Shadow Moon nearly brings J., Collision, […]
Read more "039 — Shadow Moon (w/ Tricia Ellis)"Today J. and Collision are getting high — attic high! With mondo-special guests Centa and Amanda, the IDEOTV team tackles the oft-requested quasi-gothic super-creepy best-seller and rite of passage Flowers in the Attic. This one really goes there, people, so if whipped children and brothers licking sisters’ nipples isn’t your thing, you might want to […]
Read more "038 — Flowers in the Attic (w/ Centa Schumacher & Amanda Brand)"Hey, kids! Do you like playing Video Games? Do you like watching other people play video games? Do you like people telling you about playing video games? Do you like people telling you the story of a video game as though the story had happened to them, omitting no detail, not even one, for 250 […]
Read more "037 — DOOM: Knee-Deep in the Dead (w/ Poncho Martinez)"Recommended by major dude and friend of the show Tom Keiser, it’s time for J and Collision to endure the long lines and longer speeches of… Airport, Arthur Hailey’s 1968 ode to MEN and their DECISIONS and their FEELINGS. You need to know, though: this ain’t the summer of love. Also, you can pack your […]
Read more "036 — Airport"This episode will rock you to your foundations, as J. and Collision tune up the band and take a hot shot of Slash’s memoir Slash. That’s right, the guitar player from Guns & Roses wrote a book (sorta) and we read it (bigtime). Rarely has a book about sex, drugs, and rock & roll been […]
Read more "035 – Slash"Saddle up! J and Collision run roughshod over Ernest Cline’s new reference deployment device, Armada. Is Cline a one-trick pony, or is this book a dead horse, beaten? The answer is inside! Plus, some extra-good letters, a seriously exciting announcement, and our most appropriate recommendations yet!
Read more "034 — Armada"Collision and J welcome tart-tongued guest Lemon from the F Plus to lay bare the non-magic and total lack of mystery of Diablo Cody’s valentine to herself, “Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper”. Take a peek behind the curtain and behold a book in which everybody talks exactly like… Diablo […]
Read more "033 — Candy Girl (w/ Lemon)"A lot of old-school fun this time around, as Chris and J discuss Lee Child’s strangely tame thriller/exploration of male fantasy “Killing Floor”. Chris drinks way too much delicious Bicycle coffee (roasted in Oakland! Delivered by bicycle!) and gets super-squirrelly. J ponders a minor rebrand for IDEOTVPOD. New segments get new songs and there is […]
Read more "032 — Killing Floor (A Jack Reacher Novel)"They can’t all be winners, and Frank G. Slaughter’s “The Curse of Jezebel” definitely proves that axiom. Join us and semi-regular guest Centa Schumacher as we discuss a book that can probably be best described as “biblical fan-fiction”. Really boring biblical fan-fiction.
Read more "031 — The Curse of Jezebel (w/ Centa Schumacher)"Well then. Here’s a book that probably blew your dad’s mind back in the day. Sorry about your dad’s mind, really and truly. Join our unnamed narrator and a cast of characters including our unnamed narrator’s secret personality, his son, and a bunch of people who don’t really matter, as they travel across the country […]
