Quarantine Book Club

Warning: NSFW!  Due to the truncated schedule and Rance's uncontrollable potty mouth, this episode contains uncensored mature language.  More than usual, anyway. Let's bring this horse doo doo to a close!  Our heroes recap this somewhat serviceable, but still pretty insufferable hypothetical sequel to A New Hope.  Rance recounts his tale of dental trauma and shows off the difference between his ne...

But only for a little bit.  Forget about the Force awakening.  Let's talk about the New Hope that our country is changing.  Yes, the guys still talk about this steaming hunk of dog poop (no, not the one in the White House, rather the one they have to read for the podcast), but they also comment on the current movement in our country, and hope that change will continue and for the better. Our heroe...

This week, the Quarantine Book Club defers to greater voices in a time of immense injustice and violence.  We ask that you take the time this week, during which you might have listened to our podcast, to instead move, work, and mobilize -- however you are able, whether physically or digitally -- in service of our Black friends, loved ones, and other people of color. Consider making a donation to t...

We discuss the first 100 pages of Star Wars Legends: Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster. Everyone's favorite franchise is here.  This is what going big or going home is all about.  Our heroes discuss a book that was the first piece of Star Wars extended universe fiction to be ejected from canon.  They can't figure out if it's enjoyable to read or not. Bob discusses Luke TomPeeper, and...

We discuss the second half of Doom Book 2: Hell on Earth By Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver. Time to celebrate because we are halfway though this garbage series.  In this episode, our heroes get really upset about how everything in the book just becomes uncomfortably sexual.  They also can't figure out why there is 0% of a climax in this book, just like 100% of the private lives of the women in...

We discuss Doom Book 2: Hell on Earth By Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver, chapters 1-16. In this Episode our heroes enjoy some meals directly into the microphone for some ASMR to give you the tingles.  Not really, but they do eat on the air.  Rance starts the episode real annoyed, and never really calms down, while Bob makes body sounds like a child.  They discuss how terribly the authors portr...

In this episode, our hosts talk about the second half of Doom Book 1: Knee Deep in the Dead. There's lots of annoyance, but also fun and games.  The guys wager for big stakes, play some Kahoot quizzes, get Bono and Bono confused, and introduce a new segment to the show. Rance gets confused about skulls with ears, and is dazzled by hausfraus.  Bob doesn't understand that shared pre-cinematic univer...

In this episode, our hosts talk about chapters 1 through 16 of Doom Book 1: Knee Deep in the Dead. The guys argue about how bad the book actually is, and throw all sense of organization out the window.  Bob decides not to curse and then breaks that promise in record time.  Rance tries to figure out what belladonna is, and flies on it like a hippie punk snot.

In this episode, we introduce our first book, Knee-Deep in the Dead (Doom Book 1) by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver.  The brothers offer some background into the book, the game series, and the authors.  They also sigh a LOT, and get really curious about libertarian sci-fi authors.

A comedy show about reading bad sci-fi books to escape the boredom of being locked inside all day
