Podcasts:
The cast reads “Well, Shit” by /u/Ray_Thompson. The only problems seem to be that a banana is not metric, a facefull is not a faceful, and the main character is not his leg.
The cast reads “You’re Going to Die” by /u/vegatilion, a spooky short that doesn’t play by anyone’s rules, let alone the prompt’s.
The cast reads “Seaside Barber” by /u/Sack_on_my_head. Despite the confusing story, the adverbial adjectives and gruesome sex, Shannon manages to giggle the whole thing off.
The cast reads “End” by /u/wordssssssssss, a story that maybe did it right.
The cast reads “Silence” by /u/dveth and find out why sharks are so terrifying in space.
The cast reads “A Muse’s Anguish” by /u/MarcSkylar. While the pausing intensifies, so does our interest in this mega-meta masterpiece.
Today, David Cable talks about Cloud Atlas and why it’s on sale for $5 just 2 years after its release.
Today on Shut Up And Watch, David Cable dives into The Hangover Part 3 to pick at the formulaic story structure like an old scab.
Shut Up And Watch is a short segment for delving into the nitty gritty parts of movies and the way they portray themselves as stories. Whether it’s the good, the bad, or the ugly, we’ve got you covered and we’ll tell you why. Today David Cable talks about a guilty pleasure of his: Judge Dredd. Released in 1995, this movie is regarded by many as a joke, but should we reconsider?
The cast finishes up ”The Viennese Maneuver” by /u/Has_No_Gimmick and things get weird.
The cast reads “The Viennese Maneuver” by /u/Has_No_Gimmick. Just another mother fucking story.
The cast reads “Providing” by /u/CloudFist. A long-time submitter to the Critiquecast, CloudFist gives us a surprisingly good story and makes us wonder if we are actually helping people.
On this episode, the cast reads “Prowlers” by /u/Stojak. With the start of a new prompt, it seems that keeping a secret a secret is harder than it seems. Now say that ten times fast.
Today we wrap up the submissions on the Letters prompt, discussing what we liked, didn’t like, and why one story worked so much better than the other two.
On this episode we read “Catch of the Day” by /u/Has_no_Gimmick (http://goo.gl/69QyJN). Staying true to his username, he has made a believable story told through emails to be absolutely thrilling with edge-of-your-computer-chair-action.
