\n\nRecommendations\n\n

\n
• Brandon: JUST ONE MILE | Official Trailer
\n
• Matt: Deadloch
\n
• Cot\xe9: Rick Rubin interviews Rory Sutherland. I doubt much of the airport business book stuff in here is \u201ctrue,\u201d but that\u2019s sort of the whole point, and it\u2019s fantastic listening. His book Alchemy has a great one word review right there in the title. But, again: it\u2019s fun! When you\u2019ve listened to too much If Books Could Kill you can check in on Rory if you need to take the cure.
