It seems like only yesterday that we released our latest episode… or was it? We really don't know anymore. But what we do know is that Dave and Aaron are here with another episode of Table of (mal)Contents. Watch and listen as we discuss two incredible celebrity biographies and memoirs, Lorne by Susan Morrison and The Uncool by Cameron Crowe. Also in this episode:

• Our ranking of the best Cameron Crowe movies
• The problem with sequels to Mike Myers movies
• What we were reading when we recorded this episode

All this, and the return of a favorite segment, the Jack Reacher Sucker Punch of the Week™, in which Aaron calls out a certain type of writer.

Does time still have meaning? Absolutely. We might be time-bound, linear beings, but that doesn't mean our podcast feed has to be. Join us for a very special episode of Table of Malcontents we recorded a while back that took way longer to edit than expected (because we tried something new—video, which you might find on YouTube if Aaron gets it uploaded before 2026). In this episode, Dave and Aaron talk about Aaron's most recent book, Faith Simplified: What We Believe and Why We Believe It, as well as updates on what it's like working together again, Aaron's citizenship journey, and, of course, what we're reading.

As for when our next episode drops, who can say? Maybe a year—maybe yesterday…

While our hiatus as a podcast continues, I started a new podcast called Your Next Favorite Book, where I share about one book I really enjoy in every episode. These books run the spectrum of genres and styles—in much the same way the books Dave and I would share here do. But this is a bit of a deeper dive, almost a book review experience.

And today, I want to share with you one of my favorite episodes so far, which focuses on a book that I discovered by accident. This is Faith, Hope, and Carnage by Nick Cave and Sean O'Hagan.

And if you like what you hear, I hope you'll subscribe to Your Next Favorite Book on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast app.
