Join us for a wide ranging discussion on the newest episode of Like That?...

Kevin is joined by his coworker Scott for a second time and (appropriately) they discuss some works that examine just what it is to do something over, and over, and over.

Back with part two of the conversation they started last week, John gets a chance to share his comparison in this episode. To start, he'll dig into the hit F/X show "What We Do In The Shadows", a look into the lives of 4 vampires living in Staten Island and trying to blend in with the rest of the world. We'll see how that translates into a different parody of another MAJOR mythical figure in John's book comparison. Jump back in wit...
In a very special two-part episode, Kevin and his friend John discuss some of their favorite comedic works, both on the big and small screen and on the page.

In this week's episode, Kevin and his lovely wife Melissa offer up some 5 star entries both in terms of movies and books! Melissa starts the episode off with a bang in our first 2(!) book recommendation to pair well with the 2014 Australian horror film The Babadook. Stepping away from horror, Kevin then suggests a book that features an old curmudgeon not unlike Carl Fredricksen in Disney Pixar's 2009 film Up. Listen and let us know...
This week, we're switching the format up a little bit! Kevin is joined by one of his oldest friends, Chris, and this week he's bringing both book recommendations.
