Speed Binges - The Chair Company
from The Binge Reading Bookclub · host The Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast
In our new Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast spin off series we watched The Chair Company. A surrealist dark comedy written, produced and starring internet star Tim Robinson. The story follows Ron, a middle manager at a mall construction company who has a horrible chair based mishap that leads him to uncover a grand conspiracy of embezzlement and smuggling. we talk about what the show is trying to achieve with its sometimes nonsensical segues and ‘random’ humor (holds up spork). On the topic of writing craft we discuss what it means to be deliberate with your narratives and interactions and that perhaps the non sequiturs are supposed to reflect the meaninglessness of life. Nicholas also posits that maybe sometimes, people want their fiction to be less weird than real life - stranger than fiction springs to mind. Join us again for the mainline Binge Reading Bookclub episode on the 27th Match for The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow with special guest L.R. Lam.
