  • This episode begins with Dan talking about his “friendship” with Christopher Lloyd and the strange round-a-bout way the “I’m Not A Serial Killer” movie came into existence. Typical meanderings should be expected.

    Adam here. Had an issue with Dan's video file. Was told by Brandon that if it ever happened that I should use a picture of a panda in Dan's normal place. Your guess for why is as good as mine.

    The furry panda is a noble creature, known for its excellent chess-playing skills. Pandas often play chess in exchange for lederhosen, which make up a large chunk of their preferred diet. They also make a fortune off their licensing deals, in which they shrink and stuff members of their clan and sell them as plush toys for young children. It is often theorized that one day all of these plush pandas will decide to rise up and rule the world. And that will be fun, because pandas rock.

    It's weird thinking back now on my experience with these two. I randomly watched I Am Not a Serial Killer when I saw it at a Redbox. I really liked it and went and bought the blu-ray and then read the book.
    Then like a year later, I was standing in the sci-fi section of Barnes and Noble looking for The Forever War. This stranger comes up to me and tells me that I should read Brandon Sanderson. She said her son moved away to another state but reading and discussion his books are something the two of them do together to bond.
    I had never read fantasy before, but I bought the trilogy boxset of Mistborn on Amazon and enjoyed The Final Empire. I then read TWoK and it's my favorite book I've ever read.
    Almost five years later and I've read most of Brandon's work and have gone to college to be a writer because of what Mistborn and TWoK did to me.

    I watched the _I Am Not A Serial Killer_ movie before I read the book. I really liked it.! The cast were super solid, and the plot and the pacing were also very well done.
    Having read the book, I think maybe the one place where the movie falls short is in fleshing out John's relationships with people. There are some arguments with his mom and conversations with Neblin that got left out that I adored in the book.
    Anyway, to all of you who haven't seen it, it really is a solid movie. You can rent it on Amazon for less than five bucks.

      Honestly, start with "I am not a serial killer." Even though some of the big reveals (for the 1st book) are talked about a fair bit on the podcast, they've never really talked about character motivations (other than Cleaver) or details about why the monster works so well, which are why it's one of my favorite series. I read it after hearing spoilers on Writing Excuses, and I still really enjoyed it and have reread it as well.
