TGORH book/movie club


It seems like everyone has a book club. Typically these clubs are run by women and serve as an excuse to get loaded on wine and gossip about who is f-ing each other.

Guys have things like this too, however, we drink beer and we call them Elk Lodges.
We also play washers.

Back to the point.

Every "author" of this humble blog shares a certain affection towards the written word and the cinematic experience.

In fact, my favorite movie experience was shared with two faithful readers when we watched DOOM!!!!!! on a Sunday morning.

My main problem with book clubs is the simple fact that they "read" stupid books typically promoted by Oprah. (My goal in life is to be a guest on the Oprah show)

But here on TGORH we are going to provide you with enlightening, provocative, and mind blowing material.

Our first subject...Steroids!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the trailer from Bigger Stronger Faster directed by Chris Bell.


In all honesty this is a great movie. It not only talks about performance enhancing drugs and their role in sports, but it also examines American society and how the competitive mentality promotes the use of these drugs. It is also hilarious.

In short, it is an alternative look at the American Dream.

So here is how the book club works, either leave a comment down below or hit us up at

It'll be fun, and if nothing else it will provide us with yet another excuse to drink beer.
