John Dies at the End by Jason Pargin

May 28, 2023 • Natalie Wright & Robyn Dabney • Season 4 • Episode 9

The Tispy Nerds close out their Season 4 by discussing a listener recommendation JOHN DIES AT THE END, by Jason Pargin. The Nerds are sipping strong cocktails called The Sauce in honor of the trippy drug that leads to the adventure in the book.
Billed as a comedy/horror novel, Natalie asks Robyn if the book was funny or scary, or both? Mix a drink and join this discussion of a "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure—meets—Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" romp.
The Nerds also give a short preview of what's in store for Season 5 of Tipsy Nerds, and hints of a bonus episode that will release in the summer of 2023.
