New Book, New ShowThe newest book was full of buzz and hype and it was all cap! I’m joking, half of it was cap, the other half was pretty decent!The new shows are here in a hoard because I’m a sucker for new TV. One you’ll surely love and one you’ll surely hate, and two mids.

In three minutes I compare Blake Crouch to a disturbed second grader. Our old show this month is Big Bang Theory and some musings on why you know everything about the show but have never watched it all the way through chronologically.New Book, New ShowMay the odds be ever in our favor as we discuss my brief thoughts on Sunrise on the Reaping (pretend to be shocked that I love it). THREE new shows! I can’t help myself. A new Shonda Rhimes show, a scary doc, and the Mormon Wives are back, baby! With literal new babies. And a whole lot of other crap.

The Crumbs—Season 2 Ep. 4, April 2025
Season 2, Episode 4 is here!Here’s what we discuss in each segment.Old Book, Old Show:Dark Matter thoughts and thoughts on why so much sci-fi is written by men in first person POV with a MMC. It sure is a thinker. I tried to watch the OC again, again. New Book, New ShowI have a dark epiphany about the book Mickey 7 live on the air. Brace yourself to be disturbed. The Electric State was good! Would watch again, maybe. BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen)The Pride and Prejudice news swept the nation this week! Some were un-phased. (It was me, I was un-phased.)Final SurpriseMy thoughts on the two biggest TV finales of the year, both occurring within the first quarter of the year so it looks like its downhill from here.
