  • From Hell Book Review
    Jul 5 2025

    Alex is changing up the format again. Keeping it fresh even, maybe. This month he picked a book that is completely different from what we have been reading. Instead of describing imagery of words on page, Alex is having us describe pictures on paper. That's right. We are discussing a graphic novel. Not just any graphic novel, either, but one of the greatest ever written by one of the greatest authors of that medium.

    This month we read From Hell by Alan Moore. we analyze one of the most famous works from one of the most famous authors of the graphic novel world, breaking down our thoughts on where it goes so superbly well, and where things fall a bit flat. Joe also re-watched the movie of the same name and briefly touches on why Moore hated that so much and if Moore was justified.

    Next month Joe has picked another memoir. A truly hilarious book by a woman that became famous from her blogging about her wacky life. We will be reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson. (A little bit of a spoiler, if you are reading along with us on this, we recommend avoiding the audio book...)

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making). Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

    Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

  • Darkness Over Arkham Play Through
    Jun 20 2025

    This bonus episode is a little different. This month Alex thought it might be fun for Joe to see how he does in a Choose Your Own Adventure style story. Joe, through bad experiences in 3rd grade, knew he would struggle to make it far. The book that Alex picked for this strange and bizarre adventure was Darkness Over Arkham by Jonathan Green. It is a Lovecraftian mystery, where you, the intrepid adventurer, must solve the strange happenings around the college town of Arkham.

    As said, this is a different sort of episode. A lot of reading from Alex and Joe trying to voice his decision making at each juncture. If this type of episode was entertaining, let us know. If not, also tell us. Alex wants to do a lot more of these sorts of things. So, let us know if we have stumbled onto something that is good content. A poll on Spotify should go live with this episode. Check the link for it below or through our insta.

    Next month, for our beginning of the month book pick, Alex has chosen to return to the darker and grittier world of murder and mayhem. He has picked a graphic novel of great renown. From Hell by Alan Moore will be our first attempt to discussing the popular literary method of graphic novels. So make sure you don't miss it. It'll be out July 5th.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making).

  • Death on Demand Book Review
    Jun 5 2025

    Joe has decided to make things a little more cheery for the readers after a few months of death and destruction. So he went the route of the cozy murder mystery. That's right, more death. This month we read Death on Demand by Carolyn Hart, the first book of the Death on Demand mystery series. So, lets jump into the cozy-verse and see how fun and relaxing murder really can be.

    Next month, Alex has chosen to go back to the darker and grittier world of murder and mayhem. He has picked a graphic novel of great renown. From Hell by Alan Moore will be our first attempt to discussing the popular literary method of graphic novels. So make sure you don't miss it. It'll be out July 5th.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making).
