Oryx and Crake (pt. 2)
Final episode before the season finale! Did the pandemic make us numb to the dystopia that is Oryx and Crake? Was the shadow children series actually the greatest YA series of all time? Is Jimmy just a piece of shit? You've got questions, we've got answers. Thanks for riding this ride with us…

Oryx and Crake (pt. 1)
It's the last book of Season 2!! Oryx and Crake finishing off our quarantine season is pretty fitting in the worst of ways. We dive into this dystopian novel that has an uncomfortable amount of similarities to 2020. Halfway through we're trying to work through the quote on the front of our copies...
-
The Master and Margarita (pt. 2)
With two days to go before Halloween, we got in our last episode on The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. We got an underworld ball, witchy transformations, and continued hijinx from a boisterous black cat. What's more Halloween than this piece of Soviet criticism? Join us for the fun on...

-
Steppenwolf (pt. 2)
Brian's brother-in-law is back for another round of discussions around Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse.

-
Steppenwolf (pt. 1)
We're back with a NEW GUEST. Brian's brother-in-law Corey joins us for our fourth book of season two, Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, to get a little existential, explore the many dichotomies found in this novel, and get into a light but potentially significant connection to Harry Potter? Join us!...

Rabbit, Run (pt. 2)
We finished up the second half of Rabbit, Run for our 4th quarantine episode and this book went in directions none of us were expecting... We debate what Updike was actually trying to criticize, break down the portrayal of women in this novel, and talk about if we are interested in the rest of…
more -
Rabbit, Run (pt. 1)
We're onto our third book of the second season, and it is a DOOZY. In this episode we take a look at the first half of Rabbit, Run and try to decide if Updike is taking a "Mad Men" approach to his characters, or if we are really supposed to side with Rabbit. Fiery discussions ensue, as per usual....
-
