It's disaffected middle class white boy problems as Brenna and Joe tackle Walter Kirn's 1999 novel Thumbsucker and Mike Mills' directorial debut from 2005.While the book took some time to get into, we're both big fans of the third part which explores converting to Mormonism. The film, however, completely omits that section, favouring Garden State musical montages that feel so 2000s.Plus: child abuse, Holden Caulfield comparisons, handy js, the film's stuntcasting, and arguably one of the worst father characters we've ever encountered!Wanna connect with the show?

It's time for another book club and we have three listeners (Tea, Books, and Chocolate, Victoria, and Addie) who contributed their thoughts on Eric Gansworth's 2020 memoir in verse, Apple: Skin to the Core.We discuss why this is a memoir and not a collection of poetry, how Gansworth hooks readers and uses pop culture subversions, its depiction of queerness, and the materiality of the physical tome.Wanna connect with the show?

Well, the 101,201st Emperor needed some levies to build a huge statue of himself, so he said, “Okay, all of my recently subjugated peoples: If you've got at least two sons, you need to give me your first-born. But don't worry, I'll give him back, assuming he can survive ten years of lifting these big heavy stones.” In some places, people weren't happy about this. The city of Yashar revolted, and in response the Emperor's legions killed the men, castrated the boys, and sold all the survivors into slavery. | Copyright 2018 by Rahul Kanakia.

I thought when they handed over a kid there'd be some complex system of interlocking safeguards, like they use to transport a nuclear warhead across the country, but her mom just plopped the girl into my car. I asked if I needed to register her with someone, and my ex looked at me like I was crazy, so I hopped on I-80 and drove west, out into the desert. Abby was six years old, a mini-person, and she could talk in full sentences and everything. | Copyright 2016 by Rahul Kanakia. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Learn more about your ad choices.

I am a spaceship. My insides are oozy, and my outsides are metal. If you were to cut me open with a laser-gun, then it would not precisely hurt, but it certainly wouldn't be a nice thing to do. | Copyright 2015 by Rahul Kanakia. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
