    20/10/2020 Duração: 54min

    An actor that was so great people were afraid he might inspire Al Capone to murder and turn Americans into communists; Edward G. Robinson. In this episode, we'll learn what it takes to make it as an actor in a world that screams "Hell no, ugly!", that some old movies have sketchy titles and the importance of Edward's "third leg". [And a "mummer" is an actor in a traditional masked mime, especially of a type associated with Christmas and popular in England in the 18th and early 19th centuries.] Don't forget that the movie playlist can be found on the Elton Reads A Book A Week Twitter page.

  • Lightning by Dean Koontz (Part Two)

    05/10/2020 Duração: 31min

    Elton finds out a little bit more about the how's and why's of his travels in time (hey, that rhymed...and that did too!) Plus, Dean Koontz's time travel rules are right (well, some of them).  Part 2 of the "Lightning" by Dean Koontz episode. After talking about the book Elton converses with the stranger that appeared before him in part one. As it happens, he knows a lot about somethings, some about other things, and confuses the hell out of everything else. Who the f*ck is he? He's the Count of Saint Germain, a fellow accidental time traveler. He's also a real historical figure. Seriously, look him up on Google. Apparently, he's immortal and is rumored to be older than your Mom's wooden dildo. OOHHHHHhhh, I went there! Ahhh...heh...yeah...but, seriously, if your Mom does in fact have a wooden dildo, you may want to talk to her about it. That's not very sanitary. She's begging for an infection. Oh, and I have my first call in from a sexy assed listener named Viking Power.  GET THE BOOK HERE! https:/

  • Lightning by Dean Koontz (Part One)

    20/09/2020 Duração: 58min

    What if your life was, literally, supposed to be different? What if you had a "guardian angel" that was real...and never aged? Dean Koontz can answer those questions and in this two-part episode, Elton gets into the life of Dean Koontz and his book "Lightning" to find those answers...and also find out why he's been jumping around in time himself. This is part one of, what turned out to be, a two-part episode. This thing just got away from me. I should have cut this down more, but...hell. Next time, I'll be more brutal. The second part for this should be out shortly (I'm editing it now).  GET THE BOOK HERE! https://amzn.to/3zzrmov Here are the contribution links I talked about!

  • Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton (Again!)

Pete Townshend is the legendary guitar player for the band 'The Who' of course, and the person tied to the chair...is Elton. Will he live? Will he die? Will he piss off a cantankerous comic book like super villain enough to be murdered all bloody like? (Was that not mentioned? No? Dammit, these descriptions are always so difficult. Seriously, does anyone read them? If you've read this far, chime in that you do in fact read this by Tweeting or Facebook commenting or Instagram [ing?], because I don't think anyone...DAMMIT I'm rambling.

     "The Science of Evil" by Simon Baron-Cohen, a psychology book about "lack of empathy" being interpreted as "evil" that was so good, it inspired a game show that tortures a contestant with farts, hornets, and much, much more.

    04/03/2019 Duração: 42min

     In this episode, Elton talks to kids, the Angel of Death, and Ed Sullivan himself to discover why Ed's Christmas book is so oddly morbid and death-ridden.
