About this listen
You SLUG the guy.
You KISS the dame.
You TOTAL the car.
That's movies. And I love 'em.
Gordy LaSure's passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes he'll even watch a film. But most of all, he loves talking about film, and how they'd be a shit-ton better if only people would pull their asses out of their ears and listen to Gordy LaSure.
The voyage of this audiobook can be categorised as an attempt to understand How In Hell Film Works. Why are some films bad and some films terrible? How come just a handful of films (Titanic, Porky's, Dirty Harry) are any good at all? Gordy'll tell you How and Why, and he'll give you a shot of Wherefore on the side. And he doesn't shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.

The performances were strong, the trump like main character was particularly strong while Ayoade is always great doing deadpan and sarcasm.
great parody on movies

Jon Korkes performance is sensational as the contemptible buffoon Gordy LaSure. Loved it.
Hilarious observations and virtuoso performance

Something which I think a potential buyer should really be aware of is that very little of the audiobook is narrated by Richard. Eisenberg does a little bit in the forward and Richard chirps in from time to time but it's mostly Jon Korkes. If you were expecting to listen to Ayoade you may be disappointed.

I've read a few other reviews from people who didn't like this book, and I can see it's not for everyone, but I laughed a lot listening to it, and would recommend to anyone who Finds sarcasm funny, especially when mixed with a healthy dollop of American hero worship.
So dry it should come with a drinks voucher
