Despite the title, this book had very few actual rednecks in it, showing that the editor thought he knew what the slang term meant and didn’t. We actually discuss this! Season 5, Episode 2 – Redneck Eldritch, by various authors

Pretty much what it says on the tin. Season 5, We’re Back

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here’s the one recording we’ve done so far in 2016. So, a bit of backstory on this year. Essentially, the year started out a little rough for your cohosts. Basically, Matt was coming down from the rough first few months of his new job (and one of the hardest parts of the year), Tyler […]

Matt here and, guys, I’m fucking sorry. At the end of the year I fucking fell down on the job and this is going up…in August…in 2016. I’m a fucking douche bag. I’m sorry. Here’s the year in review. Season 4, Episode 10 – Year in Review (AND MATT IS A COLOSSAL DOUCHE)

This book wanted to be so many things and managed to not even do half of them. Tyler did get one thing out of the book, learning the joy that is Amazon review flame wars. Not quite sure “joy” is the right word. Season 4, Episode 9 – Insanity by Cameron Jace

We finally, finally, gave Dan his wish and read a Gor novel. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. This is not to say it was any good either. Tarnsman of Gor by John Norman

What’s better than a book about an angel having sex with a mermaid? Well, as it turns out, a lot is better than that. BUT! One of those things is Kendra Pecan saying “F you right in the cloaca.” True story. Season 4, Episode 8 – A Mermaid’s Kiss, by Joey W. Hill

How sad of an author do you have to be when you write fan fiction about your fan fiction and even that is STILL AN IDEA THAT YOU CRIBBED FROM THE AUTHOR WHOSE WORKS YOU RIPPED OFF? Have a listen and find out. P.S. Tyler promised Matt they would never again read anything by James […]

Imagine, if you will, that you’re a writer. A writer who has been contracted by SyFy to write a novelization of one of their questionable, original movies. You know, like Octoshark. Only they don’t send you the script and you, having a sliver of taste, decide not to watch the movie. But you still need […]

This one comes to us by way of a NY Times best selling author who was ambushed by none other than Verna’s husband and she said it was the worst book she ever read. Honestly, it’s not that bad. But I’m guessing she never had to read Antigua. Or Org’s Odyssey. Or Everyone’s an Asshole […]

Many apologies for these last two episodes being up WAAAAY late. Matt, who usually does this, has been going through some rather tumultuous times with having been laid off in the same week that he purchased a new car and a house! Most people would be all, “Without a job this isn’t the time to […]

Matt and Tyler found this particular book through the Bookbub service and had to read it because the premise is, shall we say, a little strange. As in the people in it are little. Ok, the Earth suffers an unspecified catastrophe and all life on it aside from humans and insects are wiped out and […]

Well, they finally did it, they went and made the movie. And of course Tyler and Matt had to go see it. Any surprise that they enjoyed the experience of watching the movie more than the movie itself? Matt even made a special friend. Just trust me, go listen to the damn podcast and tl;dr, […]

Welcome back to Your Book is Why Daddy Drinks, the 2015 version! Tyler and Matt kick off the year with Divergent by Veronica Roth, a book that is a patchwork abomination of trope-y mediocrity derived from the pieces of other, similarly trope-filled YA fiction. Come see the average character who is secretly amazing! Come watch […]

This is it, the moment we (ok, just Tyler and Matt) have been waiting for: the wrap-up on the year. In this podcast Tyler and Matt discuss the ten books they read over the course of 2014, rank them on their own and then come together to talk about them one last (and mercifully short) […]

It’s that time of year again. That time of year that doesn’t involve Matt and Tyler reading stupid crap, where we get to read good crap that we like a lot! Season 3, Episode 11 – Books That Don’t Suck (The Good Book Podcast)

Seriously, you guys, what is with you and suggesting books that involve people trying to fuck animals and/or mythological creatures? Really. So, Bear by Marian Engel…probably the most boring book featuring person on animal sex from one of the more unlikeable characters we’ve read. Also a fairly boring bit of prose but supposedly won an […]

Joining us again for another awesome Concast at Convolution was Dan, Ed, and ever-awesome Kendra. There was singing. There was acting. There were haiku. So many haiku. We were incredibly more entertaining (and drunk) than the book we read, which was In the Breath of a Moment, by Andrew Kieniksman, a collection of self-published “stories” […]

You’d think that getting sexed up by the vampire, Dracula, would make for an entertaining story but, no, what we’re left with is this professionally published piece of fanfic that attempts to be a story about a woman’s sexual awakening and empowerment and just flails about in that way that Victorian costume dramas tend to. […]

Take a trip down your self-made road (because we all know taxes for roads is TRULY UNAMERICAN) as we stroll down Freedom Lane into right-wing conspiracy land with The Overton Window by Glenn Beck. Originally we balked at the idea of reading this book because we weren’t sure we were going to be able to […]
