Between Two Fires

Between Two Fires – Christopher Buehlman – Episode 54

Christopher Buehlman, Between Two Fires, is like a horror filled, comedic acid trip.  Which is exactly how many describe the Buddy Book Club podcast, so the Buddies were big fans. Between Two Fires puts you in 14th century France, a place of: plague, death, and waging war between angels and demons. This episode had the Buddies questioning three things most people find sacred: God, charity, and sex parties. So sharpen your sword, put your mask back on, and say your Hail Mary’s as we jump into this crazy adventure, horror, fantasy novel.

Daisy Jones & The Six – TV SHOW – Episode 53

The Buddies were big fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s, Daisy Jones & The Six (checkout our past episode on the book!) This time they’re discussing the recently released Amazon TV Show based on the book. They once again welcome @tuckerpeanutbut aka Billy Dunne to the pod to discuss. Topics ranged from why Pittsburg in the late 70’s was the greatest American city to why goatees are awful (and Eddie is the worst). So warm up your vocal cords, put on your best 70’s attire, and join us as we rock out to the Daisy Jones & The Six TV Show.

The Third Option – Vince Flynn – Episode 52

The Buddies scope out book #2 of the Mitch Rapp series, The Third Option, by Vince Flynn. They are joined by @jimmyhawley – and he came in firing quicker than Mitch Rapp at a terrorist convention. The conversation ranged from mild discussions around water skiing to the positive qualities of Saddam Hussein. So bring your body armor, water skis, kinks, and an open-mind as we read one of our favorite authors.

Hitch – MOVIE – Episode 51

The Buddies watch the 2005 romantic comedy classic, Hitch, or as one Buddy described it, “The best RomCom ever made”, whilst the other Buddy described it, “an absolutely awful movie, I hope to never see again.” The Buddy Book Club podcast has made it to 51 episodes, but it may not see a 52nd after the Buddies came to blows on many topics. Those topics ranged from: toasts, the definition of stalking, and power suits, power ties, and power steering. So come one, come all, we got something for all you Hitch lovers and haters out there. 

The Sandlot cover

The Sandlot – MOVIE – Episode 50

The Buddies revisit a childhood classic, The Sandlot movie. It was their collective 115th viewing of the movie, but the first as adults, and it gave the Buddies a different perspective especially on many of the characters. The Buddies got into deep discussions about Wendy Peffercorn, James Earl Jones’ character, and Scotty’s parents. Lot of questionable stock purchases and sales on this one, so don’t miss out. Or in other words don’t be a scab eater, goofus, or ‘L7 weenie’.

were all lying

We’re All Lying – Marie Still (INTERVIEW) – Episode 49

The IQ level on this episode rose significantly as the Buddies were joined by Marie Still, author of the newly released psychological thriller, We’re All Lying. The Buddies we’re lucky enough to get an advance copy of the book and ask some pertinent questions surrounding Marie’s debut novel.  They also had the chance to ask questions everyone was wondering like: what it is like to have a hedgehog in the family (RIP), if Marie enjoys a Coffee Vodka (CoVo) on occasion, and if it’s okay to empathize with a deranged psychopath. We’re not lying, come listen as we welcome the first author to join the Buddy Book Club.

The Rose Code (1)

The Rose Code – Kate Quinn – Episode 48

The Buddies take a crack at the World War II historical fiction novel, The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. Code Breaking, Math, Romance, Book Clubs – all things the Buddies are terrible at, but also happen to be central themes in this great read. Despite feeling like fish out of (the Bletchley Park) water, the Buddies did still really enjoy this book and were able to dish out important life lessons. Like why it is okay to slack off at work, why you should avoid the subway, and the benefits of war. So get your cribs and rods ready, drop your silly debutant disposition, and join us as we break down The Rose Code.

The Menu

The Menu – MOVIE – Episode 47

The Buddies really consumed their latest movie, The Menu, starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicholas Hoult. The Buddies discussed their love for Cheeseburgers, Lumière from Beauty and the Beast, and prostitutes/call girls. They break bread (not actual real bread just like the movie) with recurring (second time) guest Magic (@nicoitaliano13). Want to hear a couple of buddies that consider dinosaur chicken nuggets to be a delicacy discuss highfalutin food? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park – Michael Crichton – Episode 46

The Buddies jump into the classic dinosaur sci-fi/horror story of Jurassic Park. No one believed that the Buddies could step up and read a long non-YA book, but ‘Life (the buddies) finds a way’. This episode featured a lot of theories and conspiracies (chicken, Malcolm’s effect, Lex’s true identity), and a lot of selling of traditionally strong stocks (science, grandparents, and kids). So pack your Name-O-Saurus, your raincoat, and maybe a couple of extra rockets, jump into the ‘perfectly safe’ automated driving Jeep and join us on Jurassic Park book ride.

The Gray Man – MOVIE – Episode 45

The Buddies revisit The Gray Man, this time watching the $200 million Netflix action flick. The conversation touched on some of the Buddies favorite topics: Bathroom Etiquette, Austin Powers, and how to correctly pronounce/spell certain words. So join us the only podcast that can match the Gray Man in both action and character attractiveness.
