#219: Books We Want To See Turned Into Movies

The government has decided to pay us not to work and instead focus on our art! Or at least that's the scenario we discuss in today's cold open. What would you do with your free time if you received a universal basic income and no longer had to work a day job?

After that, and on the back of Andy Weir's hit book turned movie, Project Hail Mary, we learn about plans for a new sci-fi flick adapted from a popular book series. This leads us to a conversation about what books, sci-fi and others, that we would like to see adapted into a movie or TV series.

#218: Talking About Pulp Novels Again

In today's cold open, we discuss the nonsense that is Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It's about rockets and man boners. That's probably all you need to know. 

After that, we settle in and talk about famous literary novels that started off as pulp. Or so we're told! There's a lot of goofiness packed into this one.

#215: Getting Blasphemous With David Scott Hay

In today's episode, we sit down with author David Scott Hay and discuss how one goes about killing Jesus. More specifically, we have a long conversation about his new book, The Butcher of Nazareth, in which our protagonist has been given that very task to prevent the apocalypse. We also talk about giant disgusting goats! 

David also breaks down his writing style, the unusual origin of this book (you'll never guess what it was originally supposed to be about), the book's amazing cover, and the grueling nature of putting together a period piece.

DBS #135: Ranting And Raving Writers

Today's cold open ended up taking over the entire episode. What began as a rant against writers using AI to create their novels transforms into a bitch-fest about the state of the US, the outrageous cost of living, and the greedy bastards who are destroying everything for everyone.

#214 Fancy Book Q&A

We begin today's episode by discussing two trending and controversial topics in the writing world: writers who don't read and writers who rely on AI to perform the actual writing portion of their work. 

After that, we participate in a fun Q&A about books, sent in from our 2nd most loyal listener, Mike!
