Book Review of Dear Luke We Need to Talk: Darth Vader and Other Pop Culture Correspondences

Dear Luke We Need to Talk: Darth Vader and Other Pop Culture Correspondences


Author John Moe comes up with some uniquely humorous journals, lists, reviews, and more from some of pop culture's favorite characters over the years.

Some of my favorites were the continuing ideas for halftime shows for all of the Superbowls. The Goofy and Pluto conundrum is something I even wondered about. Fonzie's letter to the Cunninghams probably got the biggest laugh from me. The interview with Popeye and Olive Oil was messed up.

I thought I would laugh a lot more than I did. There were clever ideas but not all funny. I got all the references (because I am old) but I think some younger people will not have any idea who some of the characters are.

I was a little disappointed in this one. While I think John Moe is a talented writer and has imaginative ideas, I just wanted more of the funny.
