Last Argument of Kings – Joe Abercrombie – Episode 142
The Buddies close the book on Joe Abercrombie’s First Law trilogy with “The Last Argument of Kings,” the grim dark finale that answers the age-old question: what if the Manhattan Project was run by a thousand-year-old wizard who doesn’t care if you live or die? The Buddies debate whether Jezal is just Vichy France with better PR, how to weaponize ‘biological control theory’ against your enemies, and if king sized beds are a misnomer. So sharpen your swords and Logan-isms, get ready to stand your ground one last time as the Buddies finish up the trilogy and say goodbye to the Bloody-Nine, Glokta, Ferro, Jezal, West, and Bayaz.
Before They Are Hanged – Joe Abercrombie – Episode 141
The Buddies return to Joe Abercrombie’s grim dark world for “Before They Are Hanged,” the second book in the First Law trilogy. The Buddies debate whether getting your face smashed in with a mace is the ultimate character development, how useless corporate leadership seminars actually are beneficial, and if chivalry is indeed not dead. So, bring your north man mentality, practice your nose-biting techniques, and join us and all our Buddies from last time: The Bloody-Nine, Bayaz, Jezal, Ferro, Glokta and many more!
1984 – George Orwell – Episode 140
The Buddies read the not-so-fiction feeling dystopian classic “1984” by George Orwell this week. The Buddies chat about the good life of being a Prole (drunk, happy, and blissfully ignorant), every day double-think, and how Gen Alpha speak to Newspeak are the same. So grab your victory gin, practice your doublethink, and join us for a pod that asks: would you rather be tortured with rats or buried alive with snakes?
