Read it and Weep

We couldn't stay away. Sarah's love of The Bachelor was infectious, and we just had to know how it turned out. So we gathered one last time time discuss the winners and losers of Season 20 of the Bachelor.

Read it and Weep is a good podcast about books, movies, and TV hosted by Alex Falcone. Each week, we discuss something from pop culture with an emphasis on blockbusters, failures, and nostalgia.

In the late 80s and early 90s there was this sitcom. In 2016, there was that exact same sitcom with genders reversed as if television hadn't evolved at all.Welcome to Fuller House, where the kids from Full House (except the successful ones) are now adults with the same problems and catchphrases as before. It's like a cheesy cornball on a schtick, but less appetizing.

We got a ton of great sponsorship applications and after many hours of fighting we were able to narrow them down to just 8 great episodes. Hear about how we picked them and what you have to look forward to.Thanks to everybody who sponsored!

There is pretty much just one name that means a cartoon is going to be good and it rhymes with Malt Bisney. Anything else and you're taking your life into your own hands. Ezra found that out the hard way back in 1989 when, for the first time in his young life, he hated a movie.Now he shares that hate with you, the Don Bluth animated picture All Dogs Go To Heaven. The songs are lame, the plot disjointed, and the characters weird (note: not all of us agree that weird characters are a bad thing), but this mess doesn't stop us from being our buoyant, likable selves (note: not all of us are likable).

The Bachelor is one of the OG reality shows. It's been on 20 seasons and includes multiple spinoffs. It's also a trainwreck that is awful to watch but impossible to turn off.Sarah Hatheway joins us to share her hatelove of the show as we discuss such important season 20 issues as "Is Ben the worst?" "Will Olivia ever get off the island?" and "Can we just watch the mini horse?"We're current through episode 8 on this podcast and we'll probably do a little bonus episode when the show's over because even though it's the worst, we're in.

Do you think you have what it takes to wear clothes and exist when a camera is near by? Then you might be America's Next Top Model.Famous novelist Tyra Banks puts a group of skinny women (and sometimes other things but mostly that) through silly, demeaning, and ultimately unhelpful challenges to find out which one is worthy of a very short modeling career and then ultimate obscurity.We're joined by Emily Gordon, author of Super You: Release Your Inner Superhero and co-host of The Indoor Kids who has somehow made time to watch every single episode of this show.

In the early 80s, people didn't know New York was destined to become the paradise it is today with Disney musicals and the world's biggest Olive Garden. They thought it might become a prison colony.Kurt Russel stars as the monocular ass kicker Snake Plisskin who has to rescue the president from inside Prison Manhattan. Along the way a bunch of inexplicable stuff happens and while it doesn't make a ton of sense, it's certainly moody. Plus chandeliers for headlights.Jake Johannsen, a comedian famous for appearing on Letterman more times than anybody else, joins us to talk about New York, John Carpenter, action movies, and as is standard for us, sex robots.

Nic Cage is a crappy magician with actual magic powers. He can see two minutes into the future. He uses this power to gamble a bit, and then to run from the FBI who wants to use it stop terrorists. He gets to have sex with Jessica Biel. Nic Cage's life is pretty okay.Comedian Myq Kaplan from Last Comic Standing, America's Got Talent and the podcast Hang Out With Me joins us to discuss Nic Cage's fun powers, what he would do with 2 minutes of psychicness, and destiny.

Christian Slater's life is hard. Parents don't understand, cops don't understand, and girls, they don't understand either. But when his brother is murdered, he does what he does best, skateboard about it.We have great comedian and great skateboarder Sean Jordan on the show to help us understand the intricacies of this 80s skate adventure.

Back in December, Netflix decided to bum everybody out with the 10-part documentary series Making a Murderer. The show focuses on Steven Avery, who served 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and then was promptly arrested for murder. It's really god damn depressing.Not our usual kind of topic, but we realized the main problem with MaM was that nobody on the Internet was talking about it.So talk we did. It's not super funny, though it is at least twice. But if you like us and you're interested in this series, I dare say you'll enjoy our discussion. Thanks for keeping it #fresh.

There are few movies as universal as The Sting. Critically acclaimed, commercially successful, Oscar-winning, and standing the test of time. So obviously it's going to be hard for us to find something bad to save about it.Which is exactly what sponsor Eoin wanted. We talk about this classic film SPOILER FREE, so if you haven't seen it yet, you can listen and then watch the movie and get full enjoyment out of it.

Good news and bad news. The good news is humans have invented faster-than-light space travel. The bad news is we can only travel directly to hell. So, um, mixed bag?That's the world of the 1997 horror movie in space, Event Horizon. We also connected our podcast to a dimension of pure chaos by introducing Chaos Dice to each of our segments including such difficult challenges as "compliment Alex", "make it sexual", and "get a snack." CHAOS!

Grenouille is an evil baby with no scent born in a pile of fish guts. So later if he maybe, kinda, sorta becomes a serial killer to collect the smells of teenage girls into one incredible perfume, you at least know he had a tough life.While Perfume: It's Got The Stank Of Murder is an immoral and overly described book, you can't say the ending is predictable. It takes a wacky turn that would surprise even M. Night Shyamalan when a killer's hanging becomes a super orgy.
