August 06, 2014TMTYR Episode #10: Day of the Torrence (Day of the Triffids)In Episode #10, the Pavement Pounders discuss the influential and criminally under-read (at least in the U.S.) The Day of the Triffids, by John Wyndham. The 1962 British film adaptation as well as the 1981 and 2009 BBC mini-series adaptations are also discussed. We’re considering this the end of Season One of Take Me To Your Reader, … Continue reading TMTYR Episode #10: Day of the Torrence (Day of the Triffids) →...more1h 51minPlay
July 06, 2014TMTYR Episode #9: Groundhog D-Day (Edge of Tomorrow)In Episode #9, the Pounders discuss Edge of Tomorrow, adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s much more interestingly-titled light novel All You Need is Kill. In a twist that’s perhaps ironic and perhaps moronic, Seth didn’t notice his mic was unplugged until the discussion was well underway. Fortunately, he’d been splattered with Alpha blood and was able to time … Continue reading TMTYR Episode #9: Groundhog D-Day (Edge of Tomorrow) →...more1h 25minPlay
June 21, 2014TMTYR Episode #8: The Tranny-saurus and the Philosoraptor (Jurassic Park)In Episode #8, the Pavement Pounders discuss Jurassic Park, both the 1993 film and 1990 book, and as might be expected, The Malcolm Effect rears its ugly head.

May 16, 2014TMTYR Episode #6: Quantum Physics Means Never Having To Explain Yourself (Timeline)In Episode #6, the Pavement Pounders take up a listener suggestion and read Michael Crichton’s Timeline and check out the 2003 film based on it. Along the way, we find out that Seth has read a lot of Crichton books and has gripes about swords making a zing sound when drawn. And James takes offense to comparisons to Paul … Continue reading TMTYR Episode #6: Quantum Physics Means Never Having To Explain Yourself (Timeline) →...more1h 14minPlay
