Season two commences! Why are we reading this book, what are our backgrounds with Neal Stephenson, and will we survive? Listen to the first episode, and maybe grab the book and join the club!
You maybe noticed the internet lose it’s mind over Alan Moore saying some disparaging things about superheros three years ago. As if his thoughts weren’t well known. Well, if you haven’t read the book he wishes were what people remembered him for instead of Watchmen, then why not read his novel Jerusalem and follow along with season 1 of the Hashish and Superiority Book Club?

A month and no updates? What is going on? If you’re a patron or follow us at other places you know we haven’t been completely silent. And if you only check the website… really? Oh wow. Oh, and Wade celebrated the birth of his firstborn son. So that kept him busy.
If you’re subscribed to the Rules of Acquisition you’ve probably noticed the “ROA Remix” episodes we’ve been putting out. A lot has changed since we started re-watching Deep Space Nine in 2015. Each week another Kicker is listening to an episode of the ROA and commenting on how naive we were, and how cheap the microphones we had back then. Most recently this week Wade listened to the early Season 1 episode “Babel”
On the Patreon, we’ve been very into Righteous Gemstones. Plus we had a patron hangout on the question “Does Spock Suck?” Hear some of James and Hugh’s thoughts on both here
But that’s not all we’ve been up to. We’ve been hard at work preparing for the next season of the Hashish and Superiority Book Club. We’ve been dragging out the reveal of what our next book much longer than likely necessary. Promise there will be a big update on that soon!
A change in format! Hugh talked to listeners about the sexiest of Scottish Ghost Candle Stories, Star Trek: The Next Generations “Sub Rosa”
Special thanks to Kristin, Tom, Robert and Kate for joining us!

Before we go all in on Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, we felt the need to compare it to Hayao Miyazaki’s 1992 film Porco Rosso. Why? Well it’s obvious, isn’t it?
