And you’re definitely in for a treat. We decided months and months ago that we would read and review Modelland by Tyra Banks. Why would we do this to ourselves? Because we think punishing ourselves is a great way to entertain all of you. So sit back, turn on the episode, and enjoy!

Here’s the episode (show notes are below): Episode 76 — Download (MP3) Intro and Torture Cinema Meets Modelland by Tyra Banks (0:00 – 45:01) Modelland on Amazon (Save yourself and don’t read it…) Tyra Banks’ Website Some extra goodies for you all: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRBV-UTrdjM] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjC-L2O3I4g] And now some tweets (from Shaun)(read them from the bottom up): Also: having your 1st period in #Modelland is superseded by how interested you are in your roommate’s toothbrush. Foh real. Staying on menstruation in #Modelland — protagonist’s 1st period takes up less than 1pg. Because clearly it’s important for young girls. It’s apparently important to remind us that women naturally synch their menstrual cycles. Instantly in #Modelland. Thanks, Tyra. GTK. Smart people in #Modelland know algorithmic statistics (but never show it) and put together jigsaw puzzles w/ 30 pieces. Yeah… I’m glad someone is getting joy out of my #Modelland troubles.@actuallyaisha Heaven knows I’m dying right now… Because calling something the Common Room would be too obvious, Tyra came up with UnCommon Room. *snort* #Modelland I don’t think I can do this anymore. #Modelland is so bad it’s actually giving me the shakes. And I can’t throw an ebook at the wall… Skimming #Modelland doesn’t help with the reading experience. You end up focusing only on the really bad parts. Ugh. Apparently Yorkshire terriers exist in the world of #Modelland, even though it’s not clear whether England does. #WorldbuildingGaps Not related to reading: Tim Tebow = most annoying football player since T.O. Like watching Jesus Camp over and over…and over… Let’s get one thing straight: Tyra Banks is not going to be a legitimate poet anytime soon… #Modelland #awfulpoetry #Modelland Poetry Anthology: “Modelland is your new HOME / Welcome to the superDOME / For you XX-chromoSOMED / Modelland is your new home” #Modelland Dictionary — Mannecant (n): a servant to the BellaDonna of Modelland. Derived from servant (n) and mannequin (n). #eyeroll Mythology from #Modelland: “Long, long ago, the battle raged between the Muses and the nail polish remover.” <–Actual quote… For some reason, becoming an Intoxibella (Tyra’s version of a super model with magic power) requires an obstacle course w/ fire #Modelland The basic plot of #Modelland is almost exactly like Harry Potter. Run the basics through your head, turn “wizards” into “models.” Done… .@Dhympna I’m reading it for @skiffyandfanty — We’re recording tonight. Torture Literature. First episode. Released tomorrow #Modelland If you guessed Bestosterone (the name of the academy) and ManAttack (the name of the class), you are correct. #Modelland Can you guess the name of the male modeling academy in Modelland? How about one of its classes? Go on, guess. I really should have been tweeting about Modelland *while reading it.* Because this book is fucking awful… —————————————————————————– Our new intro music is “Time Flux” by Revolution Void (CC BY 3.0).

Today is our super special Halloween edition of Torture Cinema…and we’re watching Jason X, one of those awful science fiction horror flicks. Thanks, guys. We love you too. But to make things a little more interesting, we’ve decided to start including a little acting into this feature. Every Torture Cinema episode will feature a special one act play, in which we re-enact a scene from the movie in question. Granted, our acting is about as bad as the movies we have to watch, but at least we’re funny, right? We hope you enjoy it!

The Alphas (Episode 2) of Warehouse 13 (Episode 3.2) in Eureka (Episode 412)
Thank you, SyFy, for making Mondays something to look forward to! My husband has completely stopped watching Warehouse 13 and hasn’t started watching Alphas, but it’s still a joy to share Eureka with him.. and we got to squee geekily together, which is always a great thing. However, this week’s episodes of all three were a bit on the serious side (though the Eureka version of serious is never actually THAT serious). Spoilers Ahead!
SFFTV: The 9 Lives (Episode 5) of Teen Wolf (Episode 7)
A week late and a few dollars short, here is the review for last week’s episodes of Teen Wolf and The 9 Lives of Chloe King. Both were a pretty big improvement over the previous week, but Teen Wolf still suffers from weak acting out of its main character, and 9 Lives still suffers from including were-cats. Spoilers Ahead!
