Brian has the pleasure of being a guest on The Brad Bogner Show to talk movies (Red State, Drive), books (Bossypants, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, Shakespeare), and other assorted topics.

As I happily move forward into an e-book future, five short love-notes to my bound-paper friends.
Brian and Spencer discuss albums by Sleigh Bells, The National, and The Black Keys, and the novels Matterhorn and A Game of Thrones (Song of Ice & Fire vol 1). Also, the shows they’re keeping busy with this summer (Avatar: The Last Airbender and Daria) and the stupid movies they’re not seeing.
Brian and Spencer discuss The Damned United, new albums by The New Pornographers, Broken Bells, Titus Andronicus, and seeing Pavement live. Plus, the friendship-crippling online game Neptune’s Pride and the questionable behavior of Steve Jobs.

Brian and Spencer discuss Battlefield 1943, The Flaming Lips, Netherland, The Big Rewind, World War Z, Orphan, In The Loop and online Netflix parties. It’s good to be back.
