BiblioWrecks

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...

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 ign...

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...

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.

We revisit the world of Steven Demogorgon and have a Halloween fright ... from the terrible writing. Will the stories ever come to a satisfactory end? Will Steven ever stop sucking? Will BamBams terrible audio quality drive away all the listeners? Listen and find out! 

Bugs and BamBam go over a christmas cowboy romance. Will there be misogyny? Will they find the perfect pretty christmas tree? Will the two protagonists get together? Will someone kill their dream so they don't die alone? Will Bugs forgive BamBam for picking this book? find out!

Last Halloween we reviewed a classic goosebumps book and had esteemed guest LeeLee on for the first time, please enjoy

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?
