Amy Nicholson, John Ross Bowie

The great John Ross Bowie starts the show by reading the hilarious Albert Burneko piece “Truly I Say To You Today That Bono Is An Asswipe” complete with some delightful bloopers. Then, Amy Nicholson, Chief Film critic for the LA Weekly and co-host of The Canon here on Wolfpop joins Nate to talk about how writing her book “Tom Cruise: Anatomy of an Actor” made her realize why moviegoers are wrong about Tom Cruise, her favorite Hollywood memoir “The Million Dollar Mermaid,” and her two favorite films of all time. Pick up the Pulitzer Prize winning “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr to get a head start for the next book club episode and send in your thoughts on the book at readingaloudpodcast@gmail.com.
