The hosts review:

  • Darrell could not return the movie’s love, much as he wanted to.
  • Could have been a light-hearted Twilight Zone episode.
  • You’re setup to be skeptical from the beginning.
  • If you get a TiMER after you’ve already met your soul mate, does it still go off?
  • TiMER – self fulfilling prophecy or teller of the future?
  • {momentary side-tracking to touch on “rapey” movies}
  • Emma Caulfield is weird.
  • There was a notable lack of b-face.
  • The scene with her dad made no logical sense.
  • The hosts delve into the anatomy of relationships.
  • It’s a good date movie.
  • Does David have a future as a con-man?
  • They get silly over b-face (again).
  • Stripper-face.

Back Seat Book Club – Book Three: Hogfather

**We’re close to choosing the next six books for Back Seat Book Club and we need your recommendations!  Leave a comment here, leave us a voice mail  or leave a comment on our Goodreads group** 

Author: Terry Pratchett

Publication date: 1996

Victor Gollancz

Plot Summary – ITS THE NIGHT BEFORE HOGSWATCH.  AND IT’S TOO QUIET.
Where is the big jolly fat man?  Why is Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say Ho Ho Ho?  The darkest night of the year is getting a lot darker…Susan the gothic governess has got to sort it out by morning, otherwise there won’t be a morning.  Ever again…

The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death (but with jolly robins and tinsel too).

As they say:  You’d better watch out…

Quick thoughts:

  • Lena admits to sometimes being confused by the faculty, the assassins and the auditors.
  • Death was a cool dude.
  • Sam’s favorite character is Susan and… who knew the Tooth Fairy had a land of its own?
  • Jack Frost is a punny guy!  AND he likes ferns.
  • Don’t say “moist” to Sam, please.
  • He’s a sociopath, just not the ravenous, bloodthirsty kind.  That’s a good thing, right?
  • Death of Rats is adorable.
  • Bilious, the Oh-god of hangovers and the sock-eating monster and the gnome that leaves warts on your feet.
  • Children don’t go hoppity-skip unless they’re on drug.
  • Grumpy Albert the gnome, trying to be Death’s voice of reason… but Death is as matter-of-fact as they come.
  • Sure, we’d all burst into giggle fits if Death was handing out presents!
  • Kids need to believe the small stuff to get through the big stuff.
  • Tooth fairy = boogey man?  Old gods do new jobs.
  • Who doesn’t want to hang out with the cheerful fairy?
  • TEE-TIME, we’re calling him TEE-TIME!!
  • Banjo, Bongo… something like that.
  • The Unseen University is not Hogwarts.
  • Not a difficult read, recommended by all of the hosts!
  • Being able to tap into your “child at heart” makes this a really fun read.
  • I want a pony in my bedroom!
  • Soul cake duck??  Twilight Zone Easter bunny, maybe?
  • Who better to be the voice of Death than Christopher Lee?
  • Final thoughts – READ IT.

Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. and yet… and yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world, as if there is some… some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged. – Hogfather

  • Joe Magnaniello’s penis… how else would you start this review?
  • Stereotypical plot.  Wait, there was a PLOT?
  • Channing Tatum is pretty.  That’s about all that can be said about that.
  • Oh, he can dance, too.
  • McConaughey played… McConaughey (good casting).
  • She’s got a serious case of b-face.
  • Nobody cares about your furniture story.
  • Do strippers find their jobs satisfying?
  • Male cheesecake movies vs. female cheesecake movies.

  • Don’t underestimate horny women!
  • Spiderman sidetrack.
