Put your brain on hold because we're getting dumb with one of the worst books we've ever covered on the show, as well as a surprisingly good film whose last act is very frustrating!

Is Ryan's book poorly written, judge-y and lacking in both critique AND YA thrills? Yes!

Is the film, whose stars Emma Roberts and Dave Franco have great chemistry and depicts social media (but NOT hacking or the deep web) in a realistic way, a ton of fun? Yes! Plus: Netflix connections, thrilling stunts and Sherlock?

This is 50% a vent-y episode and 50% a soft plea to go watch the film. Enjoy!
