## Resource

Get out the half and half and pour yourself a White Russian because we’re talking about The Big Lebowski with returning guest, author Paul Tremblay (Horror Movie, The Cabin at the End of the World)! We chat about our own connections to the film, the Coen Brothers’ oeuvre, why the film is a cult classic, and how it holds up in 2026. Then we have a spoiler-free Q and A with Paul about his latest novel, Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep, which is a truly unique and exciting read. Read along for our next Bookpisode about All Us Saints by Katherine Packert Burke on August 4. Then join us for another fun Othersode with Clay McLeod Chapman. We’ll talk about the film Fallen and then we’ll interview him about his new novel, Devil Inside, on August 18. We’d loooooove for our listeners to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts! Next time you see a video of Jimothy, let that be a reminder to you to write a little review for your gals over at Book Squad Goals.
