Leighton Night with Brian Wecht

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.

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!

In preparation for our Bad Book Club with Chris Grace on Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline and our dissection of Ernest's Crimes, we're re-airing our Ready Player One episodes! Get caught up on everything you missed, because it's really important that you get all the lore before RP2. We also want to give people a chance to read Ready Player Two before the discussion, but do so at your own peril.

As a special treat for those on the public feed/heathens who aren't on our Patreon, we're ALSO releasing the video versions of these episodes for free on Youtube. Go here to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vhFpWbH4sk

Today we're joined once again by our wonderful friends Paul and Eli from CheapShow (ig: @cheapshowpod)! If you're not already on our Patreon, this is one you absolutely want to see the video episode for due to an unprecedented amount of visual gags, one of which makes Brian cry a little bit. We discuss very normal stuff about wolves, movies, a bunch of random old man stuff that I, as a zoomer, blessedly don't understand, and more! It's a treat, don't miss this one!

It's a short and sweet solo! We spend a lot of time classifying a new taxonomy of mediocre-but-good movies, and talk about some video games and stuff. Once again I ask: does anyone read these descriptions? Is it really going to sway whether you listen to this episode or not? How can a loving god cause such pain?
