bad blogger

This blog has fallen down a little lately! One of the reasons for that is that I've been devoting a lot of my creative energy to my podcast, The Book Was Better. This is a humour podcast in which funnyman Luke Milton and I discuss novelizations and read hilarious passages from terrible books. If that sounds good to you, go check it out! We've recently done episodes on Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium (puke) and The Smurfs (what an unbelievable bucket of garbage). This week's episode is on Stargate, which I consider to be a pretty decent movie but the book is AWFUL.

Hooray!

the book was better episode 11: alien

Oh my lord. This book was really painful to get through, so please listen to the podcast and make it all worth while!

the boook was better episode 10: back to the future

Oh my lord, we messed with time travel and now we're all doomed. There's a new episode of my podcast The Book Was Better out, go listen to it!

the boook was better episode 9: flubber

Oh my LORD this is a crazy book. I am pretty sure this is a funny episode although I have not had the stomach to go back and listen to any of the episodes we have recorded because I do not enjoy WRITHING WITH SHAME. I am a bit worried I come off as racist at one point but hopefully you can tell I am joking? Now that is a good motivation to listen.

the boook was better episode 8: crossroads

After taking December off, and then missing our return date because I was disgustingly sick, my podcast (with Luke Milton) is BACK with a blistering look at the novelisation of the 2002 Britney Spears movie Crossroads! Learn about love, friendship and other totally girly stuff over at The Book Was Better.

the book was better episode 5: species

Yes, for our Halloween episode Luke and I read the novelisation of Species. And it was every bit as bad as you'd think. Listen to us bitch about it! We're hilarious!

You can also subscribe on iTunes and get episodes delivered piping hot and fresh to your hard drive every fortnight. Get to it!

the book was better episode 4: high school musical

 

Did you know that I have a podcast, and it's really funny? All my friends think so, anyway. At least, that's what they tell me. Oh man, what if they're just trying not to hurt my feelings? WHAT IF MY PODCAST IS AWFUL?

That's it, you have to listen to it and tell me what you think! In this episode we talk about the novelisation of the High School Musical movie. It's as terrible as it sounds! Also we get really dirty for some reason. You'll love it!

the boook was better episode 2: the dark knight

The second episode of our fortnightly podcast The Book Was Better has dropped! In this one Luke Milton and I discuss The Dark Knight Junior Novel. If you like Batman, onomatopoeia, laughing or swearing you'll like this. We're also on iTunes, so subscribe and make sure you never miss an episode!

oh no i have a podcast

I have a podcast you guys!

I'm getting sleepy so here is the lowdown I just wrote for the blog:

Do you like to read? Do you like to watch movies? Well, get ready for both things to be ruined by The Book Was Better!

You see, there are these books called novelizations. They're 'the book of the movie', those cheap, shoddy things you see sitting on op-shop shelves, unloved and abandoned. And for good reason! Most of the time, they turnout to be either unreadable or insane. Or both!

That's why Jessica McLeod and Luke Milton are reading them for you, and picking out the best bits. Get ready for hamfisted dialogue, clunky exposition, nonsensical metaphors and confusing action. Every second Tuesday, we'll be bringing you all this as well as our unnecessarily complicated theories about these books and their authors.

Let's go to the movies read a book listen to a podcast!!!

I really hope you like it! If you're here for the eyeshadow talk then it might not be your cup of tea, but if you share my sense of humour then you might give it a go.

Eek!
