BCSC: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Part 2

By virtue of Educational Decree Number 666 (eesh), we're back this week to talk about the second part of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!  Umbridge is stumping around like she owns the joint, Dumbledore still isn't making eye contact, and Harry is feeling urges he doesn't quite understand.  It's way more dramatic than that makes it sound.  Listen up! The next time we talk about the book will be after we finish it up, so read straight on through to the end and be ready in 2 weeks o...

BCSC: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Part 1

This week on our Extracurriculars episode we're talking about when narrators insert themselves into the story- particularly when a narrator we're all too familiar with inserted himself into a story we would have been familiar with had we not dropped it like a hot potato.  Take a listen! And we'll be back next Thursday, May 15 to talk about the first 13 chapters (up to page 297 or 32% on an e-reader) of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, so get moving on that if you haven't already. ...

BCSC: The Gunslinger Part 2

Well folks, looks like us weary ol' gunslingers are at the end of our journey.  Or is it the end of the beginning?  Let's find out!  This week we finish up The Gunslinger by Stephen King, and do some real (and justified) mean girl-ing, get into some existential universe talk, and learn some new words.  Join us! Next book up is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and we're dividing this one into thirds because it's humongous.  So read up to Chapter 14, which is page 278 or at 32% on a...

Hello, magical boys and girls!  I hope you're being careful, there's a madman on the loose...or is there?  Join us this week as we discuss Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  We get into some deep Harry Potter canon shit by discussing different magical animal breeds and whether The Amazing Johnathan is a wizard.

BCSC: Psycho

Greetings, nutjobs.  You're going to feel right at home this week with Psycho!  Will and I are talking about the book behind the movie, the differences between the two (actually the three, counting the 1998 remake crapfest), and our own darkest fears and nightmares (they're mostly dumb.)  Check it out! Next time we'll be back on the Harry Potter bandwagon with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban- just read it straight through so you'll be ready to listen to Will and I talk it up on Thu...

BCSC: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Greetings, squibs!  Welcome to our discussion of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second book in the Harry Potter series.  This week we talk about the sadistic sides of the series, different perspectives we'd like to see the story from, a little bit of book vs. movie stuff and how Will and I have been set in our ways from birth- Will can't shut the hell up and I love to stretch out.  Check it out and let us know what you think! Next up we'll be reading Psycho by Robert Bloch, w...

BCSC: Life After Life Part 1

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN! [audio http://traffic.libsyn.com/shmookclub/BCSC_-_Life_After_Life_Part_1.mp3] Hello Shmooks, and welcome to Part One of our reading of Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson!   As described by the book's jacket and various sellers, Life After Life is the story of Ursula Todd, a woman who has died many times, yet paradoxically lives on. The people around her are unaware of what is happening to her, as each "new life" of hers is apparently an opportunity for Ursula to lea...

BCSC: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Hey you squibs, Will and I are back and this episode, we're talking about the first book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!   If you don't know about this book, I don't know what sorcerer's stone you've been living under (little stone humor there.)  Will and I are a couple of regular Potternuts and we really enjoyed revisiting the first book but there were also some things we enjoyed "oof"ing at.  Check it out!  And keep it on past the goodbyes at the end fo...
