Really True Fiction episodes
- Ep.29 - Oh Say Can You Believe - (American Gods)
In this episode we are talking about the Gaiman novel only as neither of us have seen the TV show. This one is jam packed with meaningful topics; hope you enjoy!
Additional Spoilers:
Die Hard 1:29:05
*Correction*
The Japanese author's name is Haruki Murakami, not Hiroshi Murakami.
2 hr 28 min - Ep. 28 - Really Crude Fiction - (Superbad)
Here we go into a film that was a comedic culmination of an era. Be forewarned that this episode contains so many bad words, and so many crude observations. If this is not your jam, really make sure you don't bring any toast.
Additional Spoilers:
Stand By Me 1:23:50
Pulp Fiction 1:32:05
Wizard Of Oz 1:35:53
1 hr 41 min - Ep. 27 - Curiosity Cultivated The Human - (David Copperfield)
Finally we hit the Dickens! Charles Dickens is one of my all time favorite authors and it is always a treat to spend some time with him. David Copperfield is a kind of autobiography of Dickens himself; though with many components of the book being different from his own life. This isn't a book you necessarily have to read in order to enjoy the podcast, but I would still highly recommend you read it sometime for the pure joy of Dickens prose and insights.
2 hr 2 min - Ep. 26 - Eternal Echoes - (Gladiator)
His giant is with him wherever he goes. We had a lot of fun re-visiting this one and we hope you do as well. Strength and Honor.
*Correction*
I (Luke) make a point in this episode that Mother Theresa took money from the Duvalier family in Haiti, and that should count against her. I actually don't know that to be true (I mis-remembered during the recording something Hitchens said about her), though she was supportive of them. Since that is germane to the point I was making, please take my (Luke) arguments on that topic with a grain of salt*
2 hr 4 min - Ep. 25 - Laughing Matters - (Disney's Robin Hood)
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally, golly what a day.
David and I go full on nostalgia for this one. Hope you were as charmed by this movie as we were. Cheers!

1 hr 58 min - Ep. 22 - Make Gatsby Great Again - (The Great Gatsby)
We talk about the classic novel and movie in this episode. I'm really grateful for this one as I felt David nicely helped me understand the point of the book more. Thanks buddy!
