Leighton Night with Brian Wecht

Get Brian's new album here: https://treymagnifique.bandcamp.com/album/bebop-cowboyWe're back with another MOVIE CLUB! This time we're discussing a film heralded as the worst sequel of all time: John Boorman's Exorcist II: The Heretic. Is it really as bad as everyone says? Does it contain hidden depths? Did they seriously make a 17 year old Linda Blair do all that? Listen and find out! Brian talks about the new documentary on the making of the film Boorman and the Devil, and Jory was only ten minutes late. We'll be covering Exorcist III next week, so do your homework for context.

GUNTERS. WE RETURN. It's part two of our coverage of Ready Player Two with special guest Chris Grace (@chrisgracecomedy), and this is the episode where we get into the real nitty gritty of what makes this book so particularly egregious by reading out loud some of the worst it has to offer. Judge for yourself. It's a blast, please check it out, and whatever you do: don't read this book.Do you hate ads but love this show?

WHAT'S UP GUNTERS! We're joined by one of our favorite guests, Chris Grace (ig: @chrisgracecomedy), to discuss the absolute disaster that is Ready Player Two. This first episode is an overview of the various existential and character issues present in the novel, and we'll get into the dramatic reading of quotes next week. For today, just marvel at the fact that somehow Cline managed to write something even worse than Ready Player One. Don't miss this one!Do you hate ads but love this show?
