Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

After discussing the dynamics involved in the revolting practice known as boofing, we actually have a good writing discussion about the importance of showing rather than telling in regards to your fiction.  Of course, it wouldn't be a DPW episode without some shenanigans, but we manage to stay in line in this episode. And for once we didn't talk about comics at all. That might be a new record for...

We'll be honest with you, this isn't our best episode. In fact, we probably rambled nonsense for the first ten minutes. But we do eventually get to talking about new movies such as Glass, Hellboy, and we even talk about E. L. James' new book, The Mister.  If you're interested in seeing what other things we get into, check us out @drunkpenwriting on Twitter.  You can also give our writing a read at...

On this special 420 episode, we discuss some must-read works of fiction for all the marijuana enthusiasts out there. We also go into the most memorable movie stoners and what movies shouldn't actually be considered stoner flicks. So sit back, spark up a J, and have a good time as we delight your ears with our off brand of humor. If you want to read the article we based this episode on, check out ...

In this Drunken Bullshit episode, we have a long discussion about our current projects, our writing processes, and our dreams of one day getting published. Then as the booze really begins to take hold, we talk about the awesomeness that is Into The Spider-Verse, the disappointment of the new Pet Sematary movie, What books we're currently reading, accidental book purchases, and a lot more drunken n...

In our first Book of the Month episode, we get drunk and do a terrible job of reviewing Hair of the Dog: Book One, by Matt Holland. We give this book 4 out of 5 whiskey shots. It's a title any drunkard can get behind. Check out the synopsis below.  "Magic has cured every disease, wiped out hunger, and made most fuel obsolete. The only problem it hasn't solved is war. But there's no profit in peace...

In the drunken aftermath of our last episode, we talk and slur our way around a slew of interesting topics: comic books, movies, superhero genitals, our writing failures, anime, manga, public restroom etiquette, annoying teenagers, terrible rappers, the book of the month. We go on and on about any and everything while enjoying the finest of beverages. Good or bad, this episode was a lot of fun to...

We capsized the boat immediately in this episode and never quite managed to right ship. We do talk a lot about comics, movies, and why people need to chill out in regards to changing famous characters for various adaptations. This especially rings true when it comes to the character of the Joker, who has another iteration coming out this fall with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movie.  The booze was flow...

In this episode, we discuss how to create an author persona that'll get people interested in you and your work. We also give examples of various famous writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Stephen King who were as famous—if not more so—for their author personas as their work. And it wouldn't be a DPW episode if we didn't get into some strange topics and random r...

In this eventful episode, we choose our first DPW book of the month. We pick between five awesome books submitted to us by our Twitter followers and decide which one we'll read and review as our first ever book of the month. After all that, we go into some personal business by ranting about the awful parts of our day jobs. That's right. We have crappy day jobs just like everyone else. If you want...

In what is essentially part two of our drunken St. Paddy's day episode, we continue the drunken buffoonery as we discuss the greatest fictional drunks in literature. Then we try to straighten things out by going over some of the best Irish authors and the work you should read from them. Though, things go sideways quite a few times in this one. If you want to check out our writing, you can visit ww...

We kick off St. Patrick's Day 2019 with a special episode. As we slowly grow more inebriated, we discuss the authors who have been labeled the greatest drunks in 20th-century literature. Of course, it wouldn't be a true DPW drunken episode without some impromptu mayhem. And as we near the end of the episode, we hold a hilarious reading of one of James Joyce's raunchiest love letters. For more grea...

We give you a break down of the quickest ways to get your work out of the slush pile and into print. Then things deteriorate as we get drunker and find ourselves sidetracked by acting out what Billy Bob Thorton from his role in Sling Blade would be like in a sex scene. Finally, we end things on a better note with some movie talk. To read the article this episode is based on, check out https://drun...

In this Drunken Bullshit episode, we read and make fun of 15 awful excerpts from the Twilight series. Which proved more difficult than we thought due to just how terrible they were. Then we go into a bunch of drunken nonsense including our opinions on the sequel to Space Jam starring LeBron James, the dog version of John Wick, and try to figure out why the dog keeps yelling at us. If you want more...

In this week's episode we go over the scenes in popular fiction that make us sick. We also discuss why throwing in unnecessary scenes of sex, gore, or violence can ruin an otherwise good story. Since we can talk all day about gross scenes in books, TV, and movies, we decided this would be a part one of two.  To see what sick fiction we've been writing, check out www.drunkenpenwriting.com.

This episode was originally recorded in early 2018. We kick things off by brainstorming some ideas for a story about a murderous, evil, ghost hooker! Then we get into some Stephen King talk, go into the double standards of male versus female nudity in the entertainment world, then end things by going over our current (at the time) reading lists. If you enjoy the DPW Podcast, you should check out w...

In this Drunken Bullshit episode, we hit the bottle hard and get into some weird topics—starting with our reasons why the word transvesite sounds offensive.
