Welcome back to sixth grade, we're reading White Fang. Bam Bam returns to the womb of his first favorite book and remembers it fondly... at least until he remembers the things that didn't age very well and woo boy there sure are a lot of dog fights... and racism... and more animal abuse... why was this my favorite? Anyway, Enjoy!

Now for the PapaJohns-tastic conclusion! Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered how the boomer Karens' of the world actually live their lives? How exhausting would it be, to behave so obtusely and make everyone who is forced to interact with them's day worse. Now imagine, that you have to explain to that person how wifi works, while they conjure up increasingly stupid conspiracies to explain things instead of listening. That and more on this episode. Enjoy!

We're going on a field trip to the aquarium! See the ten headed tuna that begs for death, the dolphins laughing about murder and the ... Leeches ... with ... AIDs?.... I'm beginning to see why no one lets me in their book club. Anyway, join us for this review on, quite possibly, the most nonsensical episode we've done to date. Enjoy!

An update on future bonus material

Avast bad book lovers, we be plundering the Spanish for their gold, even if we are one dimensional 80s heist clichés, and the plot kind of dies in the middle and the ending is just murder, and if the author probably didn't intend for the book to go out after he died and what may have happened is the people in charge of his estate used the unfinished manuscript as a shameless money grab to cash in on Crichton's name recognition. In spite of all those (Possible) things, we're still going to do pirate shit, Aargh. Enjoy!

We got some birds, and we're gonna box 'em. We talk about the irritating writing style and choices made in the book and for once we both agree the movie is better than the book. Enjoy!

This episode we're grabbing our volleyballs and going to a tropical, deserted island where we slowly starve for two years and come to peace with never returning home and seeing our family ever again. Join us for this socially tumultuous survival story. Enjoy!

This legendary tome has been spoken of for generations (like 2 or 3 max), made fun of at dinner parties and on the internet for eons (50 years or so). We go over The Eye of Argon, renowned for its terribleness and dnf'd by most, and we decide, is it really that bad? Also we found a sympathetic author who tried to fix the story. Enjoy!

We go over The lawnmower man by Stephen King, and for complicated legal reasons we're going over a completely unrelated movie that new line cinema used Stephen Kings name to promote for. Its a reasonable book and short film, and drug induced nightmare movie about the internet before it was conceived. Enjoy!

Hey you, Yeah you! Bugs read a Colleen Hoover book where the characters are awful and treat each other like trash. Join us for the breakdown of how the author thinks spousal abuse happens, and if anyone asks where you got those bruises, tell them you fell down some stairs. Right? Enjoy.

Ever fantasized about going on an adventure on the high seas? Sought the sights of exotic creatures? Looked through poop on the ground for ...pennys? Join us on the emotional death spiral where we nearly die on the open seas and eat our best friend! Enjoy... 

Merry Christmas in July?! Its a Christmas story that's mourning the loss of Americana, all you damn kids looking at your phones on the train instead of talking to unpleasant strangers that also don't want to talk to you, make a new family with train strangers that are in a conspiracy to trick you into falling in love for Christmas with someone who is clear on wanting nothing to do with you. Enjoy!

Do you like Indiana Jones? You do!? How about a guy that isn't Indiana Jones but is Mormon, that's the same right? A whip? not a one. Dashing main character? Only if he's dashing toward the nearest precipice, but he is Mormon, that's enough right? It's the action packed story of a Moroni, a man with the negative charisma of a youth pastor that has never seen sunlight and a name that sounds like it will be at the next pot luck that no one will eat. Enjoy!

Its been some weeks since we recorded this episode and I still don't know how to describe it. Do you want a story about the power of ambition? Do you want to learn about spiritualism from a bird? Can time travel be considered a form of flight? find out the answers to some of these questions on this weeks episode. Enjoy?

The title says it all! There's a billionaire T-rex and hes going to force you gay, join us on this description defying ride. Enjoy!

Hope you like musicals! We found an American classic from the 1950's, rife with problematic behavior and straight up misogyny, and the surprisingly positive book it was based on from the 1930's, which is also based on the founding Roman Legend. So you're basically getting three in one today, Enjoy!

Do you like Star Trek? Space battle? Aliens? Too bad. We read the 9th colony and the best it has to offer is barely described ship fights, aliens that are just humans, and the subtlety of your old manager at Mcdonalds. Enjoy!

Was everyone in the fiftys doing cocaine? Are all Lesbians violent psychopaths? Why don't people get murdered with ice picks anymore? Will I ever stop using a three question structure in the episode description? No is the answer to one of those questions, you will have to listen to the episode to learn the answer to the rest. Enjoy!

Just for funsies, and to torture Bugs, we re-read the Hobbit and watched the movies. We free associate our way through the the childhood classic to the bloated budget trilogy that most everyone collectively shrugs their shoulders at or hates vehemently. Enjoy!

This week we delve into the world of Romantasy and it ... sucks...  Can characters have less than one dimension? Can you do push ups to cure a disease? Do there need to be dragon age of consent laws in Navarre? Find out in this episode covering Fourth Wing. Enjoy!

Do you think you are not Manly enough? Is your testosterone low? Is the entire trajectory of your life dictated by a single hormone that has been equated to male value and if you're not valuable enough in this system then your never gonna make enough money, never going to receive respect, and never going to fall in love? Then go to therapy, and on the way there listen to this episode on some weird guy that thinks eating broccoli prevents boners. Enjoy! 

A millennial childhood classic, this was a good excuse to go back and revisit an old favorite and to dump on the trash fire, cash grabbing movie Disney spewed out of its content hole, and fun was had by all. Enjoy!

Everything you know is a lie! Shakespeare didn't write the works of Shakespeare! The I's and J's prove it, that sham couldn't even read! Wake up sheeple, Nasa didn't land on the moon, it was Edward D'vere, the man who single handedly wrote the constitution and the bible! Join us on this episode about a book that I am only slightly exaggerating in this description. Enjoy!

This episode we go over a pulp novel written by Scientology's favorite daddy, L. Ron Hubbard. On this ride we go over Racist screeds, priorties in a survival situation, and the morality of setting an entire mine full of people on fire. Enjoy!

We read and watched Mary Poppins! The late 1800s and the 70s may not have much in common, but they certainly share the fact that they were on the unhinged side and are somehow incapsulated in this beloved piece of media. Were children really people back then? Is Mary Poppins a Greek Goddess? What the fuck even was Dick Van Dyke? Enjoy!

How many red flags can one woman ignore? How many green flags does a serial killer need before its okay to date them? Is a cup of complementary coffee worth blackmailing someone over? Is "I think maybe he did the murder, though my eyes were closed and I was in a different room when it occurred and I was asleep cuddling the alleged murderer at the time" admissible in court? All question will be ignored on this episode. Enjoy!

Bam Bam FINALLY read twilight and was disappointed to find it wasn't as bad as he assumed, as Bugs expected. The finer points of bad boyfriends, gross age gaps, and cuckoldry are gone over for this Valentines day episode. Enjoy!

Get ready for Valentines day with us, while we read the infamous, unanimously hated by the internet, 50 shades. Did you get turned on by this fanfic? You may be entitled to financial compensation ... or you might just be a criminal and deserve to go to prison without collecting 200 dollars. Anyway, we hated it. Enjoy?

Its Thursday night, its too late to watch cartoon network but its too early to secretly watch HBO while your parents sleep, but what's that on the sci-fi channel? a CGI monster movie? eh sure. If this strikes an uncomfortable chord of nostalgia for you, maybe you will enjoy this episode on a Loch Ness monster book. Enjoy!

Who likes time travel?! Who likes superior acting pseudo ghost Buddhists?! We know you all love bashing a woman just for existing! Experience the wild world of Swoondalini, where the religion wishes it made as much sense a charging a crystal in moonlight. Enjoy!

In order to conquer our trauma, we watched and read Left Behind, the book that aborted a lot of unborn babies for a Christian story, and the movie that sank its budget into Kirk Cameron's jawline instead of its special effects and judging teenage girls for the clothes they wear. Enjoy!

Have you, Yes you, late teens to early twenties male, ever felt incapable of capturing/tricking a desirable female? Felt like talking to women at bars is hard? Felt like your self worth was intimately connected to your ability to sleep with women instead of fostering an actual human connection in an apathetic world that only seeks to profit from your insecurities? Whoo boy, do we have the book for you on this episode of BiblioWrecks! Enjoy.

Another Holiday Bibliotomy, Bugs goes over one of her favorite book while Bam Bam struggles to summon up the dying memories from the last time he watched 'the Wizard of Oz'. Enjoy!

Bugs and Bam Bam change things up for the Holidays in this new segment called Bibli-Otomy, where they review a good piece of media. This time Bam Bam reads a novella with really intense imagery and psychological trauma and we all develop a new fear of Hammers. Enjoy!

Bugs has never watched Fight club, so this episode we learn the rules of Fight club, talk about incel culture, and why this obvious critique of toxic masculinity became its poster child instead. Enjoy!

We read a book in the Bizzarro fiction genre! Have you ever dropped a fish on the ground and then someone rubbed the dirt covered, scaly skin on your face while blowing cigarette smoke into your open mouth? That's the feeling of listening to this episode. Enjoy.

BamBam drinks too many ghost energy drinks and foams at the mouth, while Bugs tries to keep him on track during the breakdown of this alt right, racist, sexist, transphobic, culture war, viking masturbation piece. Enjoy.

Bugs and BamBam read an old classic by Bram Stoker and watch the movie that stole its name for no reason than Bram Stoker was too not alive to stop them. Enjoy our review of Shadow Builder.

Bugs takes a turn being the gross one on the podcast and reads a story where a man is a werewolf, but also a r*pist, but also a mental patient, but also a murderer, but also an abuse victim. Enjoy the empathy-less roller coaster of horror that is Devouring Milo.

BamBam went to a festival where he was given a free book. Instead of refusing the book or politely taking the book and throwing it in the nearest trash can like a normal person, he read it and now we have to listen to him whine about it.

Our First Bad Book/Movie Episode from way back in 2023, when audio was bad and the commentary was meh-ish. We had fun making a joke out of Eragon and we hope you enjoy it too! Eragon, more like Era-Gone and made a bad movie?

Update on our bonus material releases.
