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.

The Hobbit

The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien – Episode 40

The Buddies nerd out (more than usual) as they venture into Middle-earth and take on J. R. R. Tolkien’s, The Hobbit. The Buddies kept things high class on this episode, discussing the gentlemanly topics of: formal introductions, high fantasy (pronounced: high fin-ance-tsy) and tree fornication. So devour your two breakfasts, put on your magical rings, memorize your favorite riddles, and adventure into the magical world of The Hobbit with us.

Six of Crows

Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo – Episode 39

The Buddies take their first foray into the Grishaverse with Leigh Bardugo’s, Six of Crows. This book had all of the elements of a Buddy Book Club favorite. Adventure – check. Heist Story – Check. Revenge – check.  6th Grade Reading Level – Double Check. That’s really all it takes. The book had the Buddies (heart) rendering up discussions around kickboards, stock markets/gambling, rallying cries and much, much, more. So pack your gloves, saint-named knives, pearl-handled revolvers, and blast your way through Six of Crows with us.

all quiet on the western front

All Quiet on the Western Front – Erich Maria Remarque – Episode 38

The Buddies entrench themselves into the World War 1 literary classic All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. The book was pretty depressing and not all that easy to joke about, so the buddies stuck to more serious topics like going to the bathroom in public, post work clothes, rats, and awful teachers. The movie just hit Netflix as well, so the Buddies help cast the movie (if it were in English). Stock up on your cigarettes and cigars, grab yourself a spade, and dig into this most recent episode of the Buddy Book Club (and while you’re at it enlist by hitting that follow button). 

The Alchemist

The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho – Episode 37

The Buddies may be legends in their own mind, but learn about their ‘personal legends’ in the classic Brazilian novel, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.  This book which is full of metaphors and symbolism, had the Buddies asking deeper questions like: ‘How fragile are crystal cups?’, ‘Are oases real?’ and ‘Should you be a total piece of shit?’ Fill up your tea, sell your crystal, and join us for this deep introspective journey.  

The giver

The Giver – Lois Lowry – Episode 36

The Buddies feel out the literary classic and 6th grade favorite, the Giver by Lois Lowry. Ever wanted to hear a 10-minute argument about what colors are? Interested in increasing your unit size? Don’t think that brain development is that important? Well if you answered yes to any of those questions, we got the podcast for you. So pop that shirt off and join us as we transmit our memories of The Giver. 

Salems lot

‘Salem’s Lot – Stephen King – Episode 35

The Buddies sink their teeth into Stephen King’s 1975 classic: ‘Salem’s Lot. The Buddies stayed on brand chatting about topics ranging from WAP to Jesus. This wasn’t the Buddies favorite book but much like Stephen King they found themselves going off on random tangents discussing food and movies. Grab a stake (steak?), say your Hail Mary’s, and join us as we take a bite out of ‘Salem’s Lot.

Seven husbands

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – Taylor Jenkins Reid – Episode 34

The Buddies are so dedicated to the craft, that some say they are married to the game. But Evelyn Hugo is 7x more dedicated, as they find out in the most recent book: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The Buddies chat about acting vs. real life, beards (not the hipster kind), making tough decisions, and much, much more in their second foray into TJR’s work. Want the confidence of Evelyn Hugo looking in a mirror and righteousness of Celia St. James, join us as we unlock those secrets.

Blacktop Wasteland (1)

Blacktop Wasteland – S.A. Cosby – Episode 33

The Buddies speed their way through S.A. Cosby’s Blacktop Wasteland, a heist-thriller, with a southern noir twang. The buddies jump all over the map on this episode one second talking about tattoos and chop shop, the next second chatting about family humor and math skills. Hop in your Duster, turn up the Elvis, and flip the nitrous as we burn through this gritty page-turner.

terminal list

The Terminal List – Jack Carr – Episode 32

The Buddies cross The Terminal List by Jack Carr from their list. Bobbo, @bobbymccart, joins the podcast for a long stock buying/selling session. The Buddies chat about the importance of old cars, friends and tomahawks. Taking after James Reece, they vow to eliminate their enemies, namely: Garth Brooks, California and coffee with cream and sugar. Gear up, sight your scope, and join us for this action packed summer read.
