En este episodio analizamos la canción de Santa Fe Klan debo entender.

Drink along with us as the #BookSquad discusses "Super Extra Grande," a short novel by Cuban sci-fi author and metal band member, Yoss. Find out what our metal band personas would be before we delve into some serious misogyny issues in this book. We talk sci-fi tropes, Spanglish, and how the heck a thing can be both giant AND a single-celled organism. For listener feedback, we go all the way back to "Fates and Furies" to revisit Lotto and Mathilde and talk about our favorite books we never want to revisit. We've also got tons of great posts for your reading pleasure on the #BookSquadBlog, so check them out! Next time on the othersode, we're talking about the film "Sorry to Bother You," so go see it and join our discussion!

Next Fullpisode: "The Leftovers" by Tom Perrotta

This time BUSY DADDIES Kevin & George walk through the quiet cult film MAN FROM EARTH.  Kevin discusses the vast differences between sci-fi authors Yoss and Richard K. Morgan.  George lavishes praise upon the podcast WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE and how it reminds him of some of his favorite, humor filled, Sci-Fi works.  We come full circle back to MAN FROM EARTH in a breakdown of laughter and celebration of the shittyness of that movies ending.  Hope you enjoy.

--Producer Vic

After a chiding from our producer, we're back to George and Kevin in the booth as Kevin is still off fighting for the future of the Horse Crab Nebula and their ability to marry outside their caste system.  It's a noble effort.  On the show we talk about Jennifer Phang's ADVANTAGEOUS and whether or not we'd be into the deal presented.  POKEMON GO and the phenom it's becoming in our neighborhood is briefly discussed.  Also a discussion about the 90s classic FREEJACK leads Kevin into discussing a sci-fi novel by a Brazilian rock star named Yos.
