Episodes

The Old Salt's Story | Book 4 Chapter 9 22.11.2020

Unable to learn more, the boys thanked the proprietor and bought three postcards. That sentence is emblematic of this chapter and the entire series as a whole.

The boys hide a lot for no reason. Then they eat.

Dangerous Beachcombing | Book 4 Chapter 7 09.11.2020

An Evening of Mystery | Book 4 Chapter 2 05.10.2020

It's not evening. 

Interesting Assignment | Book 4 - Chapter 1 27.09.2020

Book Four begins with a healthy dose of elitism and judgement. Also the boys are rich.

Just a short moment together before the next chapter of our lives begins. Cheers.

Thomas the Tank Engine Reboot | Book 3 Comparison Part 12 05.09.2020

The season finale brings us a reflection on artistry and authorship as well as potential for future projects. Don't forget the live show next week. Monday the 14th, 8pm. On YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP9nCB29E7I

Crawling Across a Field | Book 3 Comparison Part 11 31.08.2020

Breakfast Food | Book 3 Comparison Part 10 24.08.2020

The boys ignore child abuse and other crimes to focus on Breakfast Food

Dental Hygiene | Book 3 Comparison Part 9 17.08.2020

The boys remain unimpressive and we find ourselves distracted.

The Prestige | Book 3 Comparison Part 8 Part 2 10.08.2020

Every good trick has three parts. The Promise, The Turn... AND THE PRESTIGE. 

Workday Interrupted | Book 3 Comparison Part 8 Part 1 03.08.2020

In this episode, we examine the first half of one chapter of the original book, but just as we near our break, David's phone dies, and we lose our connection with each other. However, the integrity of our recordings is unscathed. We had planned on recording the second half before posting this, but Shaun has been traveling. So you can have this first part of the eighth part of our comparison. Goodn...

Frozen Pizza Strategies | Book 3 Comparison Part 7 27.07.2020

We end up talking about the book a bit.

An Entirely Different Plot | Book 3 Comparison Part 6 21.07.2020

The boys are given a boat and they make bad decisions.

Bread Shoes | Book 3 Comparison Part 5 14.07.2020

However questionable, the boys make much more modest decisions for rescue apparel than their 1960 rewrite brothers.

The boys visit Carl Stummer

Fetus Soap | Book 3 Comparison Part 3 21.06.2020

We talk about hurting people for fun and soap.

Gemmy | Book 3 Comparison Part 2 15.06.2020

We find rabbit holes and take them as deep as they go. We explore parts of the books and ourselves that had only just been discovered. 

Stung! | Book 3 Comparison Part 1 15.05.2020

We make it through three chapters of the original 1927 version. It's pretty dense.

Solid Evidence | Book 3 - Chapter 20 28.04.2020

The boys ask direct questions and the criminals incriminate themselves without hesitation.

Underground Chase | Book 3 - Chapter 19 20.04.2020

This chapter was fine.
