Have you ever wanted to build your own concrete crusher boots, but didn’t know how? Are you tired of other people giving you wedgies when you just want to give one to yourself? Dreamt of drifting away on your own raft? Well, dream no more! I have the book for you!

Debuting back in 2014 the Practical Folks are James Graessle, Joel Arnold, James A. Janisse, and Chelsea Rebecca. They built a steady following on YouTube with their Game of Thrones videos and continued that with their Drunk Disney series; their Beauty and the Beast one was covered here. Last week the world celebrated Star Wars Day on May the 4th (be with you). If you like Star Wars, watching Star Wars movies with friends, and drinking (!), then the Practical Folks are definitely worth your time. Akin to Mystery Science Theater 3000, the Practical Folks watch movies and mock them with clever quips and the occasional DRINK ATTACK. For the Star Wars prequels the binge them all in one day with cocktails and alcoholic beverages mixed in along the way.
