Eat, Pray, Love Reviewed Part 1
We take on Elizabeth Gilbert's triumvirate of boredom, "Eat, Pray, Love." Like Liz, we like to artificially break up our content into 36 different parts. Some of our segments include:
- The return of No Retreat, No Surrender, this time picking on Elizabeth Gilbert's weight!
- 30 seconds of no-judgement puns!
- More censorship from Ezra's version!
- Mary, boff, kill with Elizabeth Gilbert's multiple personalities!
- And much more!

Read it and Weep The Podcast Reviewed
We finally give the first three episodes of our show the thrashing they deserve. Complete with compliments and hates, this is the most self reflection we've ever done. Episode highlights include:
- We almost kill a man with our humor
- The origins of us eating on the show (with a clip from our first radio show together!)
- A series of subtle editing jokes
- f**k audiobooks
- Lots of surprise calls... slightly less surprising now

The Last Airbender Reviewed
It turns out 8% of Rotten Tomato critics can be wrong. This is as bad of a movie as we've seen that didn't start with "Twi" and end with "light." Or star the horse faced woman. Or... well, I suppose all the movies we see are pretty bad. But this one is also bad! Episode highlights include:
- Chris didn't watch the movie but we make him participate anyway.
- A giant, flying beaver.
- The whitest character named Aang ever.
- Lightning bonus round!
- We spoil the ending for every movie in the last 20 years. [Editor's Note: This highlight is also a spoiler for the podcast.]
- And much more!
Our guest Paul has an awesome photography site.

Sex And The City 2
When our young male sex symbols are confronted by old female sex symbols, you know good things are bound to happen. Actually, it's the exact opposite feeling as you would have waiting for Sex And The City 2 to start. And unlike SatC2, this show doesn't go on two hours too long.

Sweet Little Lies Review - Part 1
If there's one book that deserved a sequel it had to be L.A. Candy, right? Or alternatively, ANYTHING ELSE. Sadly, if Lauren Conrad keeps "writing" it, we have to keep reading it.
- Hate Shuffleboard!
- New segment: The Book Club!
- Intellectual references to Jean Baudrillard and Edward Said!
- An obscure reference to a blackface incident!
- Sexist energy drinks!

Atlas Shrugged Review - Part 4 of 4 (!)
In this episode, a largly demoralized team stumble across the finish line of Ayn Rand's magnum crapus, "Atlas Shrugged." Mysterious things start happening, however, when they try to talk about John Galt's speech. Other episode highlights:
- Hate Yahtzee
- Pizzookies and BJs!
- Oregon Trail: socialist undertones
- Locate your breadbasket!
- And much, much more!
Today's guest Colleen has a blog about running and poop.

Atlas Shrugged Review - Part 3
We tackle the third quarter of Atlas Shrugged with much needed help from our Insane Beliefs Correspondent, Stephen. Dagny finds herself in the capitalist utopia of Atlantis and we find ourselves still having to review this terrible book that has no end.
- Alex passes Podcast Directive 10-289
- Hate Bingo: Now with points!
- Taking a strong stance against killing goats with sound guns!

Atlas Shrugged Review - Part 2
In the second part of our slog through Atlas Shrugged, we show a few signs of wear and tear. Still, we power through:
- Compliment Sandwich
- Hate Bingo
- Writers Workshop (we probably should have warned Forrest beforehand that he had to play Ayn Rand)
- And screwing like a business man!
Today's guest Forrest has a blog where he takes pictures of himself while he watches Portland Trailblazers games.

Atlas Shrugged Review - Part 1
Atlas Shrugged is arguably the most influential terrible book that we've read yet. Libertarians, conservatives, and people who want to read about 1-dimensional characters sexually assaulting each other all find the book compelling. Can it live up to the hype? Well, "who is John Galt?"
- Debate: Trains vs. Steel!
- New Game: Hate Boggle
- Chris develops an immunity to stupid.
- The benefits of a monster cave.
- And much, much more.
Today's guest Nick has a website full of fake facts.

LA Candy Review - Part 2 of 2
The smog isn't the only thing LA produces that makes me gag. As our panel discusses the mercifully brief second half of Lauren Conrad's awful book, they cover:
- French words that may or may not be dirty.
- How to create your Read It And Weep On-Air Personality Name
- Why do some people sound stupid, and, more importantly, why does Ezra feel bad for anybody who sounds that way?
- And the great Pandog
Today's guest Kate has a personal blog that's pretty funny and has pictures of pretty things.

LA Candy Review - Part 1 of 2
It doesn't take much to get a book contract. Or a TV show. Or a movie deal. Or, in the case of Lauren Conrad, all three. Apparently, it mostly just takes being an idiot. But in a land where idiots write books, three heroes (and their slightly crippled, TV watching side-kick) have what it takes to stand up and take pot shots at those books from a safe distance. They attack by asking the hard questions.
- Blondes: age like wine or peak early?
- Fish food: is it human flesh?
- Bars: should they have trampolines for floors?
- and much more.
Today's guest Jason will make fun of your friends and post it on YouTube for $5.
