To answer a question I’ve got a couple times: Yes, there will be an audiobook version — if that’s the one you want, the pre-order for that will be up very soon, probably by the weekend.
My new book on 2000s Hollywood comedies, Funny Business, will be available on October 6 and is officially up for pre-order right now. In my wholly objective opinion, you and every person in your family should do that. You can order your copy at the link below.

A behind-the-scenes look at the rise (and eventual fall) of the raunchy, blockbuster “Frat Pack” comedy films of the early 2000s—including The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Old School, Wedding...
