That's right, this week the cupcake-eating super-stoned crew of highly... uh high, dudes review the phenomenal movie "Smiley Face" 2007 starring the one and only Anna Faris!

It's a stoner comedy and that's just perfect for us this week because I think everyone was getting tired of Andy movie picks...

Welcome to another Wednesday Night Book Club, this week I discuss the book "Stranger in a Strange Land" 1961 by Robert A. Heinlein (recommended by Austin from acclaimed "Fried Rice Podcast" fame...)

Our resident old man, Mike, told me he read this in high school as a required reading.... So, basically, Austin chose homework for me, thanks Austin...

Luckily, this is actually quite an interesting book with a lot of complex themes, most of which I probably didn't understand or ignored to focus on all the fun Jubel Herschaw shenanigans. Plus, I was high 90% of the time I was listening to this audiobook, so I might not have even a 1970's high schooler's grasp on what I was supposed to get from the book other than enjoyment.

Next week's book(s): "The Chocolate War" 1974 by Robert Cormier, AAAAAANND the underrated sequel "Beyond the Chocolate War" 1985 by Robert Cormier ---------- High School secret societies, kids going door to door selling chocolate and a freaking guillotine, what could go wrong? One of my all-time favorites! (Plus it's routinely on the banned books list for the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books)

Welcome to another Wednesday Night Book Club, this week I discuss the book "Lovecraft Country" 2016 by Matt Ruff.

I thought to myself, after barely covering domestic violence in probably a more nonchalant way than I intended, let's cover systemic racism! That's right, let's go on an adventure through the Jim Crow era South and see all the atrocities committed by people with hate in their hearts... plus sci-fi and horror! I honestly don't know how the author manages to take such serious subject matter and make a book that I want to read again and again.

Well, let's get into it!

Next week's book: "Stranger in a Strange Land" 1961 by Robert A. Heinlein

This week the twins of each of our precocious little potheads get together and discuss the underrated cult classic "Southland Tales" 2006 -Directed by Richard Kelly (The guy that made Donnie Darko!)

It's weird, Andy chose it as the pick this week, and not everybody was happy about it... But fuck them, make your own decision on how this movie makes you feel.

Hello, and welcome to the first "Wednesday Night Book Club" with your host, Andy Rice.

Of all the books I could have chosen to start this series off with, I chose a book about domestic violence... Oh well, it just happened to be the one I finished this week. Rose Madder 1995 by Stephen King is a book about a woman trying to escape her abusive husband who is way more of a monster than his heroics as a police officer would have you believe.

Since this is a prototype episode of "WNBC" I didn't do a full deep dive, and there are a few things I'll do differently next week, such as.... announcing the next book... stupid Andy....

Next Week's Book is.... "Lovecraft Country" 2016 by Matt Ruff (and maybe "The Destroyer of Worlds: A Return To Lovecraft Country" 2023 by Matt Ruff because I didn't know there was a sequel until right now and that's the only reason I'm re-reading the first book, so there is no likelihood I'm going to wait another week to read this.)

See you all next week, don't forget to bring your books!
