I bought the Bad Astronomy book many years ago and it is a very worthwhile read!

I didn't know about that.  But I know they have a very good website.  The Moon landing "hoax" must have generated a lot of money for them!   ;D

supposed to be good, I downloaded the first, not got around to watching it yet.

I dont think the intention was to make money but they probably have, so fair play to them
