The Weekly Stuff #479 - 200 Reviews: Discussing & Reading From the New Book by Jonathan Lack

Today’s episode is all about 200 Reviews, the new book by co-host Jonathan Lack, which contains, well, 200 reviews, mostly of movies, but also some TV and video games, some that have been seen before, and many that haven’t. You can buy the book now in paperback, for Amazon Kindle, and as a digital bundle with PDF and EPUB versions. We tell you all about it on today’s episode, with Sean interviewing Jonathan about the book’s contents, and Jonathan reading eight excerpts from the book, including reviews for The Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man 2, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and more! We also take a look at Jonathan’s earliest-ever reviews, from when he was just ten years old, in one of the funnier segments we’ve ever recorded.Enjoy!  Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:00:30Discussing 200 Reviews: 0:00:30 – 1:12:36Barbie: 1:12:36 – 1:21:34Cats: 1:21:34 – 1:38:13A Christmas Carol: 1:38:13 – 1:45:20The Grand Budapest Hotel: 1:45:20 – 1:55:40The Lord of the Rings: 1:55:40 – 2:03:34Spider-Man 2: 2:03:34 – 2:09:24Star Trek Into Darkness: 2:09:24 – 2:27:19Star Wars Episode III: 2:27:19 – 2:41:01Outro: 2:41:01 – 2:41:41Buy 200 Reviews in Paperback on Amazon – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKMPX2CKBuy 200 Reviews for Kindle on Amazon – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CK68K3WGBuy 200 Reviews as an EPUB/PDF bundle at Ko-fi – https://ko-fi.com/s/07bc1a2b39Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our sister series about the wide, wacky world of anime: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Explore our archives and subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcasting platforms:https://weeklystuffpodcast.comFollow The Weekly Stuff Wordcast newsletter for regular updates and extra content! https://weeklystuff.substack.comEnding music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/  Read Jonathan Lack’s movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://www.japanimation-station.com Read Jonathan’s book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastSupport the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffOriginal Music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/©2012 - Present Jonathan R.
