On this week's episode of the ExcellentChatClub: Jason and Zach are joined by Zach's lady friend so the Club is moved to a different location to record; a lot of Lord of the Rings talk, a lot of home talk, a lot of Stephen King talk, a lot of talk talking. It's a podcast. 


Welcome to the clubhouse! What is the ExcellentChatClub? It’s a weekly podcast where two best friends get together and chit-chat about whatever pops into their heads. Most likely it’ll be something about television, movies, anime, comic books, or manga. 
Zach and Jason have been podcasting together for going on three years, starting off with their movie-centered Ticket Stubs Podcast, which transitioned into their book club, Excellent Book Club, which is now the ExcellentChatClub which emcomposes everything they love. It’s a podcast.
