Spooky month has ended (though it will always be spooky month in my heart). Now, Nate has the reigns and things are going to get truly dark as we discuss Hulk Hogan's autobiography. podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... #books #hulkhogan #wrestling

I've appointed Gretchen as special prosecutor to look into Russian interference in Elton's judgement.

We're talking about an iconic, highly quotable movie that satirizes a genre while being a perfect example of that genre! New episode out today 💙📽️ #Filmsky #Scream #ThePrincessBride open.spotify.com/episode/0sty...

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... In 1973, possibly-alien bigfoots invaded Western Pennsylvania. The police were unable to help. It fell on the citizen-scientists of the WCUFOSG to investigate and the citizen-yinzers of PA to try to take the beasts down.

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... More Words About Books Side projects! We're starting off easy, with a book that no one should take seriously: The History of Spiritualism by Arthur Conan Doyle. #occult #book #podcast

Everyone told me to pursue a practical career rather than chase less marketable dreams. "Do that on the side." I took that advice. Honestly, it worked out well. But now those same people are shocked that I've let my career stall at a comfortable level to focus on side projects. #thoughts

I've crafted a playlist of my favorite occult rock songs. Perfect to listen to after you've listened to our episodes on The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. open.spotify.com/playlist/4hn...

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... Discovered my co-host didn't know anything about Christianity, so we had to do a little crash course prior to discussing The Exorcist. I'm sure no one will be offended by my off-the-cuff summary of 4000 years of religious tradition.

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... It's BHBS on Words About Books and we kick it off not with a bang but with a whimper as we read the very over-written Jeff the Killer Reboot Sequel #JeffTheKiller #creepypasta #podcast

The one in which the Nuzzle Gang befriends a dog. open.spotify.com/episode/2w5v... @nuzzlehouse.bsky.social #DungeonsAndDragons #ActualPlay #Podcast

This from the files of WTF did we just watch… Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder in Hell (2012) And ZARDOZ (1974) Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder in Hell was surprisingly entertaining it was a love letter to the Evil Dead And ZARDOZ was… definitely something. Episodes soon to come

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS This week we're talking about the poem that inspired Disney's Mulan! There was a poem? Heck yeah there was. It's from 5th or 6th century China, and way more concise than either of us was expecting. 💙📚 open.spotify.com/episode/0551...

I think the age of mega-celebrity stand-up comics is over.

Our hero has a secret. Who will accept her for all her inner demons and who will leave her out in the cold? We talked about KPop Demon Hunters and Frozen! open.spotify.com/episode/5ApH...

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... Y'all wanna hear some weird shit? #books #podcast #weirdshit

My cat has a ritual when laying next to me on the bed. He will jump up and meow until I pet him. Then he will start kneading his blanket into shape, and if you even think about trying to interact with him before he's done, he will meow with such sass that I know it is meant as an expletive.

My buddy @traviswanteat.bsky.social just released his newest book, Carapace! And holy shit folks it is one of the creepiest, freakiest body horror novels I've read in years. It packs more weirdness into its short length than many longer books could dream of. Highly, highly recommend. a.co/d/fzkygf1

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... I sat down with @johnbierce.bsky.social to discuss overpopulation fiction.

Man, I'm so out of the loop on this rapture. I must have built a healthier social media bubble over the last few years.

Schismatrix has ruined normal books for me. I now need everything to be this weird. podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... #cyberpunk #booksky #podsky #schismatrix

You know...I really do enjoy sitting down with a cup of coffee and editing a podcast. I think I'm getting old. #podcasting

I've been spending a lot of time with @nuzzlehouse.bsky.social. Join us as we try to figure out our audio settings while saving the world! open.spotify.com/episode/2w5v...

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... A lot of people like Sanderson. A lot of people hate Sanderson. I want hating us to be the common ground those people find. #sanderlanche

After two and a half years, we finally have part 2 of our songs-as-English-lit-poems episode! Thank you so much @jedwardcooper.bsky.social for the request, made long, long ago before we had a deadline to check off our to-do list 💙📚 open.spotify.com/episode/6YG2...

Nate is still talking about Mass Effect, and I think this is going to be a while... podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... #podcast #podsky #masseffect #books?

I am the Ken Jennings of Two Books One Cup

I've been without air-conditioning for 5 days. I'm not thriving in this environment.

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... This week we're talking about a Mass Effect book. #booksky

Damn...we were this close to beating Oprah...

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... In this episode, Nate struggles to retain any information.

Talking About Tolkien has fallen behind this week. Work has been a bit crazy. The episode will be up this weekend for patrons. 8/20 for everyone else.

Got a new shirt. Thought of @uncitedpod.bsky.social

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... With Saruman's army obliterated at Helm's Deep, it is now time to go have a word with the man himself. #podsky #booksky #tolkien

I heard that Youtube was rolling out data-based age verification and I was afraid I might be flagged as a young person, despite using phrases like "young person." So I went into my Google ad demographic data to see what they thought of me. Bite me, Google.

Did we opt to spend the summer talking about World War I? We sure did because it's one of Amy's favourite trilogies! Kicking it off with Regeneration by Pat Barker 💙📚 open.spotify.com/episode/32Q1...

Nate didn't like Man in the High Castle. Ben was never particularly interested in it, either. This is somehow one of our most controversial episodes of all time, I guess. podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... #booksky #podsky

This week's Talking About Tolkien is delayed. My schedule got away from me and I wasn't able to carve out the editing time. We'll be back on track next week.

open.spotify.com/episode/1BME... I'm over on @nuzzlehouse.bsky.social defending the honor of the Squonk! You won't believe one happens on this episode of Two Books One Cup

Everyone's talking about The Late Show, but I'll never forgive those COWARDS at CBS for putting Friends over Murder She Wrote.

This, this, so much this. Some folks will use any excuse to take a shortcut, but the only way you get good at writing, at any skill, is by doing the hard work, by building solid foundations and then working from there. Shortcuts only cheat yourself.

Imagine going to a Cold Play concert and that still isn't the worst thing that happened to you that night.

podcast.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/796577/episo... I'm going to talk about Beowulf, and frankly, I don't care how boring or shoe-horned in you find it to be. #podsky #booksky #tolkien
