** When Ezra absolutely ''despises'' something they had to review, he tries to cheat the Compliment Sandwich by saying things like, "My compliment is for my iPad's Kindle app." (From the [[http://read-weep.com/#!/episode.php/modelland Modelland]] review.)

[[http://read-weep.com The podcast]] began when Alex decided that his comedy routines would be better if he knew how to make jokes at the expense of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', but he had no intention of diving in by himself. So he rounded up Chris and Ezra, two of his old college friends, and persuaded them to read the book and discuss it with him over Skype. And the rest is history.
The purpose of this podcast, pure and simple, is to trash things that the hosts feel need to be trashed.
Each episode tends to be broken into segments, many of which have specific themes. There is one feature, however, that appears in all episodes: the Compliment Sandwich. In a Compliment Sandwich, every participant gives two things, one at the beginning and one at the end, that they liked about the work being considered. Alex came up with the Sandwich, apparently spontaneously, in the very first episode on [[http://read-weep.com/#!/episode.php/twilight-by-stephanie-meyer-the-beginning ''Twilight'']]. After the first compliment, the work is fair game for whatever they can come up with. Another regular segment is Lightning Bonus Round, but it only occurs when the topic is a movie.
Not to be confused with the Disney made-for-TV movie of the [[SimilarlyNamedWorks same name]], though they did [[http://read-weep.com/#!/episode.php/read-it-and-weep an episode on it,]] or the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic episode]] of the same name.

* PhysicalGod: In [[http://read-weep.com/#!/episode.php/the-shack Episode 93 - The Shack]] the podcast theorized about the neighbors God might have if he were living in a shack.

* RunningGag: There's a lot of them.
** Chris is often accused of being racist.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: In Episode 90, [[http://read-weep.com/#!/episode.php/atlas-shrugged-part-1-the-movie "Atlas Shrugged the Movie,"]] the guys spend a good amount of time making fun of the movie poorly envisioned the world of 2016. Ezra also adds that it's clearly a BadFuture since the only cell phone provider is [[ProductPlacement T-Mobile]].
