The Popcast’s Guide to The Oscars

February 10, 2015

So Jamie and I are proud to announce The Popcast’s first ebook, The Popcast’s Guide to The Oscars. It’s such a proud day. It’s like watching your child walk once he stops using the Baby Trend Expedition-Jogger-Stroller, but way better because you don’t have to childproof everything and start closing doors and putting up baby gates.

(Buy the book here.)

Let’s face it: watching the Oscars can be a super confusing activity. Should you pay attention? Should you not? Who should win? Why are they playing that music? Why is Matthew McConaughey acting so strange? It’s a confusing time.

But it doesn’t have to be.

From the average level intelligence people who bring you The Popcast podcast on a weekly basis comes this informative, life-changing and soul-bearing guide book on how to watch the Oscars.

In it, you will find information, opinions, viewing games and predictions. Essentially, it’s the Ryan Reynolds of guides only if Ryan Reynolds had 40% better taste in choosing movies.

More than anything, you buying this guide won’t just be an implicit act of enabling us to discuss things with no actual value. It will also be an act of support for us and what we’ve done with the podcast for the last 77 episodes.

Obviously, putting on a podcast isn’t free. It costs actual money in the form of hosting, equipment and time. Jamie and I have loved doing it and we hope to continue doing it. You guys buying this guide goes a long way to that hope.

So read, get smart and support the Popcast. It’s such a win/win. Like you don’t even know.
