I think Tara might have used a thesaurus for that one, though so I'm willing to give her points for that.

Hot Topic was never called "Hot Issue"-- I believe our author just Dan Brown'd us.

Bryan Olive

I believe you were going to post the complete Bertie Wooster fanfic, sirs? Please?

This book is so terrible. I don't know why I hate this book more than Gritty Reboot Willow or Sean Penn Has Anger Management Problems but I do. I guess because the narrator is so damned BORING. I mean, yeah, the White Worm people were stuck in a lack luster slow motion horror where the events seems to just happen, and the Mister is a series of vignettes based around two idiots longing to bone each other and get even more boring when they do. But this is actively irritating.

I've listened to the 2006 Dark Web Tom Bombadil recordings three times, and as someone who has read LOTR 6 or 7 times, and the Silmarillion 1/256 of a time, I think Tolkien, the Oxford scholar who spend his life studying linguistics and etymology would approve of flammin tht betch 4 been a toadl posr an prolly a kloset prep and stuff.

I truly love this. The adverbs, especially, are tops. (I must find a way to work "eyebrowingly" into conversation) Thanks, David; great job!

I'm on Team It's All a Giant Troll. We've had some really rotten books on the podcast, but it's just not humanly possible to write this rottenly. (I hope.) Oh, and Mike, that name you were looking for, F. Scott Fitzgerald's editor, is Max Perkins. He's sort of an editorial hero of mine (no, I am NOT a gigantic nerd, why do you ask?), and I read his biography a few years ago.

Ugh. The Raven saga is so much more interesting that the framing story of House of Leaves.

We should suggest that as a cut-line on the print version: "I've thrown it across the room less often than Shadow Moon!"

Mike Truman

I felt the first episode featured a sincere, if deeply flawed writer, whereas this episode was all troll. If there's a theory that suggests the original writer stormed off and quit and then was replaced by someone parodying her style for maximum humor, I'd be in support of it.

Justin Cicconi

This book is unequivocally wretched, but I’ve still thrown it across the room less often than Shadow Moon. Of course, it is also a lot shorter than Shadow Moon.

Need Dumbledore to recreate Merlin's "ta da ta da, ta da ta da, ta da ta da,ta da ta da"

Wow, kudos to Tara for the Deep CUT (get it cuz she's, etc)

Rick Drake

This book reminds me of House of Leaves. Primarily because of the equally weird second narrative in the footnotes.

Thomas Shaw

That Tom Bombadil voice actor sounds an awful lot like the Mexican Santa Claus

Eric Andrews

The despondency and sad tears in poor Mike’s voice...................................................It was Conor with a manuscript of “My Immortal!”

Christopher Dazey

After hearing you guys try and plow through some of these sentences out loud, the two of you doing a reading of even just a few chapters would be amazing.

You mean of course the dark web recreaters from 2006 or so...?

Tyler Nagel

I thoroughly enjoyed Mike’s Tom Bombadil

Urstoff

also, I just realized that the main character's last name is Way because of Gerard Way, so maybe I'm kinda dumb

St. Mungo’s is the Wizard Hospital.

Sorry to be that lady, but Professor Sinistra is in the HARRY POTTER books - she’s the Astronomy teacher. She has one line and barely exists.

So, here is a bit of fandom lore for you guys. In the mid aughts, "sporking" a fanfic was synonymous to "MSTing" it. My best friend and I used to do this on Livejournal back in our salad days, to some acclaim. We would find the worst, most egregious Mary Sue fics in the Harry Potter fandom, and we would tear them apart, quite in the same mean comedic spirit as you guys. Those were the days...

Bryan Olive

A superpower requires an origin story and I really want to hear this one.

Moviegique

All I have to say about this episode is RING-A-DING-DILLO you posr prepz!

Here's what that Boulevard of Broken Dreams cover probably sounded like: https://fontonascreen.tumblr.com/post/156380437757/discosbackfrogbait-astoundingbeyondbelief#notes Also, the reason Green Day gets thrown into the emo/goth pile is 100% Billie Joe's eyeliner and the fact that Boulevard and Wake Me Up When September Ends are sort of sad.
