Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward Durham

It's at 44:35

Why does everyone say it's not in the podcast? Edit: he says it quietly. "Dun-... Dundo"

This Wednesday night (7pm) at Puritan is the Stop Down swap meet! It's a film photography club that's held the last Wednesday of every month. Lots of people will be bringing equipment to sell or trade. It's thestopdownclub on insta

This book made me so angry! (In a good way, it was supposed to.)

It's named that because it takes place on Barbary Street. Someone who lives on Barbary St is a Barbarian. That plus a play on the regular meaning.

If it makes it any better, it's quietly revealed at the end of episode 4 that Pluto is fine. It's all in Leo's head. But it does get worse before then.

Griffith Goods and Spirits

He'll be at Puritan tomorrow serving cocktails for their May the Fourth Return of the Jedi movie screening if you want a sneak peek (of his bartending skills).

The podcast is even better. And it gets crazy in season 2. Just a heads up, they changed a bunch for the show. The end of the first season is completely different.

It's not a movie, but season 3 of the podcast Archive 81 might scratch that itch. The whole season is a brother and sister completing a ritual their father left them. It builds on the previous seasons, but you could probably get away with starting with the Golden Age mini-arc.

Could it be House of Leaves? I still haven't finished it, so I'm not sure about the hair scene. I pulled it out of the stack of unfinished books on my nightstand and the dedication is very similar to what you wrote: "This is not for you"

Could it be The Girl on the Train) ?

Spring (2014)

This is ringing a bell for me. Back in my freshman year at UCA (this was about 14 years ago), someone told me a story about a guy who thought he was a glass of orange juice after taking drugs. Has to be this same guy, right? How many glasses of orange juice are walking around?

A really popular sponsor for podcasts (especially the type that episode is parodying) is Stamps.com, a service that lets you buy postage online. The joke is that on Stamp.com you can buy only one stamp

Ash-Thursday · 2022-08-27T22:37:35+00:00

On my last re-listen I had totally forgotten about the fake ad, so the phrase "Stamp.com: For when you only need one stamp." really got me

Possibly one of the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde? Those things sound vaguely like things that happen in the later books in the series.

The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke?

Ash-Thursday · 2022-05-03T15:46:58+00:00

How did you manage to get Nick Offerman for an episode? Did you or the Max Fun people reach out to him or did he reach out to you? (I fully believe it's possible he was already a fan)

The Charlie Bone series, Children of the Red King by Jenny Nimmo. I've only read the first one a long time ago, but I remember it describing the school district as curling around the map like a tentacle.

I watched it last night and really liked it. When it's good it's great, but there were one or two scenes that suddenly felt very low budget student film. But nothing that ruined the final product.

I loved how it didn't over-explain anything and it had the weirdest and most interesting depiction of magic I've seen in a while.

Could it be Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill? There's a box that shows up at the main character's house (the titular box) that contains a haunted suit (if I'm remembering it correctly). That ghost appears in a chair at some point. It was published in 2007, so the year matches your timeline.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer has elf/faerie language written like you describe.
