Shit, Actually

6 stars for the audiobook, which was exactly the hilarity I needed right now. You NEED Lindy's own delivery of these film reviews, the jokes, the asides, the references. The Face-Off commentary had me pausing the book I was laughing so hard. A delightful way to re-experience the peaks (or arguably valleys) of 90s/00s cinema!

I didn't even know Lindy had a new book coming, but when I saw the audio advance copy available through Libro.fm this month, I immediately felt like listening to it. Each chapter in this is Lindy rewatching one of her old favorite/popular movies and critiquing them based on how well they hold up now, or just how not great they actually are. As someone who didn't grow up on Hollywood, I didn't know many of these movies and hence share no nostalgic memories of them, but Lindy makes the narration a lot of fun and I haven't laughed so much in the middle of a book in recent times. Definitely recommend the audiobook if you need something lighthearted.
