My last read of September was my August #bookspin (just a month late -- oops!). It was really fun and definitely worth checking out if you're into movies and/or pop culture. A love for action flicks and mobster movies will not hurt!

I‘ve watched Scrubs over & over again. Recently the Fake Doctors Real Friends podcast reminded me of why I loved it so much. It managed to swing from humor to emotional depth w/such smooth transitions. This short book (not on Litsy but by this author), delves into why it was so great. My fav essays were:

My Heartache: Ben‘s arch on the show.

My Friend Talks to a Ghost: Why Carla was so amazing.

My Hindsight: Most meaningful moments in the show.

Enjoy!

I have zero interest in basketball, yet I found his first book to be very enjoyable. Movies are much more subjective on many levels, yet, even when I disagreed with his arguments, his writing is so personable and compelling, I couldn't stop reading. It also makes me want to go back and watch a whole bunch of movies I've seen before, and have me some good recommendations.

True story: Thanks to this book, my sister and I got into a screaming match about WHICH Nicholas Cage character we would want to add to our fantasy heist crew. We both knew Nicholas Cage had to be involved, but she was going for Face/Off Cage, whereas I was going for I‘m-gonna-steal-the-Declaration-of-Independence Cage and then my mother chimed in late in the game to advocate for Moonstruck Nicholas Cage which started this whole fight over again.

I love listening to Shea Serrano talk about movies. I‘m hoping he‘ll have a season 2 of his Villains podcast.

I just got this book in the mail today. I‘m really excited to dig into it and start a ‘movies to watch‘ list! I‘m also loving the illustrations. 😍

This might be the go-to present for my movie-loving friends and family members.

“This is the thing where an NBA Player sits at a table on a stage in front of a room full of sports reporters after a big game and answers questions, except it‘s not an NBA player, it‘s Michael Myers. And it‘s not after a big game, it‘s after a night of killing.” 😂 This book was brilliant. #24B4Monday @TheReadingMermaid @jb72 @Andrew65 #TeamSlaughter

Well this seems like a great chapter to read, since I‘ve been seeing everyone‘s scary movie posts all month 😂 #24B4Monday @TheReadingMermaid @jb72 @Andrew65 #TeamSlaughter

This is obviously the most important chapter in this book. 😂

Seen this book at the library and simply HAD to bring it home with me. Hopefully there will be some good bits about some of the scary movies I hope to watch this month. Although - the section I read about The Rock playing Rose in Titanic has already made it worth it! 😂😂😂#TeamSlaughter
