The book is separated into nine sections: This covers brainless action movies, including Volcano, Action Jackson, Independence Day, and the works of Jean-Claude Van Damme. This one chooses movies vaguely tied together by an animal of some sort: Mighty Joe Young, Anaconda, the Batman movies, and the Matt Leblanc opus Ed. The aptly titled TeeVee section covers, well, TV: Baywatch, Judge Judy, the Food Network, , and the Matt Leblanc opus Friends. Everything from Star Trek to The Postman to the Matt Leblanc opus Lost in Space. - The Five Families (Plus Two)
