Originally recorded July 11th and July 13th of 2021 Making his sixth appearance on the podcast is our friend from down under GOUGH! We catch up from the last year and talk about his new short comedy film Book Club, his new podcast, and how he survived the last year of the pandemic. Then John finishes it up with some stupid questions. 

"Is it weird that I really want to see him get insulin injections?" -John "Everybody has the capability to be a jerk." -gough

[Unspeakable] the JohnCo spokesman ties Frank up for a reading at the JohnCo Book Club. Only one book is ever read there, and it's enough to drive Frank mad.

Frank and John go over the Tremors franchise, a series of movies that Frank enjoys, and John, well, listen to see Johns's thoughts about it. They discuss the problems with the franchise, issues with the overall treatment of certain stereotypes, and what makes an episode of the podcast a John Hates What You Love episode. 

"He becomes the badass that they all think they are." "It does not realize that it is satire." "This is not a John Hates What You Love."

METAPLOT A flashback to the cabin. John arrives after being lost in the swamp to discover Frank obsessed with the Tremors movies to the point that he doesn't care about John's plight.

"My problem with the romance in the comic is, it's very tropy."
