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.

Foundation book

Foundation – Isaac Asimov – Episode 44

The Buddies get real deep into sci-fi and politics in their most recent book, Foundation by Isaac Asmov. This book, in many ways like the Buddies, was a bit dense, so they were lost quite a bit while reading this one. Nonetheless, they powered through and got to chatting about the importance of Wikipedia, Star Wars, Rom Coms, and if Asmov knew that women exist. The Buddies suggest browsing your space encyclopedia and making some flash cards for character names, so you’ll have a great… Foundation for this one.

The Hobbit Movie (1)

The Hobbit – MOVIE – Episode 43

The Buddies find themselves back in Tolkien’s Middle Earth, this time watching The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey. Let’s just say this wasn’t the Buddies favorite movie. They discuss the differences between The Hobbit book versus movie, argue about throwing money at problems, food meaning, fully stocked pantries, and much more. Are you in need of a cathartic experience after watching the movie or maybe you are just looking for advice on dealing with a large goiter, either way you’ve come to the right place.

The Silent Patient

The Silent Patient – Alex Michaelides – Episode 42

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides hits home with the Buddies in many ways. It’s a psychological thriller that takes place in a psych ward – which is where many believe the Buddies belong. And it features a patient, Alicia, that has gone mute since murdering her husband – many wish the Buddies would also go mute. So really a perfect book to kick off 2023. The Buddies once again jumped all over the map discussing awful co-workers, the importance of glasses, and living up to your job title. So strap in (your straightjacket if you’re any character in this book), and join us for this page turning mystery thriller.

All Queit on the Western Front Movie

All Quiet on the Western Front – MOVIE – Episode 41

Coming in 2023, the Buddies are jumping into the movie game. We’ll watch movies of books we have read, discuss the differences, the good/bad changes, and of course we’ll still be doing stock up/stock down. All Quiet on the Western front kicked things off, it had the Buddies discussing pissing in public, dubbing movies, and the worst possible ways to die. So grab your popcorn, your German dictionary, your raincoat, and join us as we discuss one of the best recent war movies.
