An episode in which I learned Doc Savage wasn't a real person/the name of the author but the main character of a series. Doc Friedman and Collison (sic) really liked this book because it's fun and stupid. SirSlarty fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Nov 26, 2018 |

You might want to fix that link. It'll be a while before I can listen to the episode, but I want to say that I had a good groan at the Fear joke in the description.

I just got to the part where they talk about Doc Savage's Lobotomy Hut. Holy poo poo that's terrifying. Paid by the word, I guess. Also that structure they read off is essentially every Dresden Files book if you've have the misfortune of reading any of that trash.

I really liked the deeper dive they made on the author in this one. Made me want a dedicated pulp fiction podcast, either one where they systematically go through more popular authors or a pulp roulette kind of show where they’d randomly have to review a public domain pulp short story every episode. I don’t think it’d work with J and Chris as the hosts but someone could do it. I know there’s dedicated Lovecraft and REH podcasts but I’d like a more general pulp show.

Honestly this episode was too heavy on the digressions, I never really got a sense of what made this particular book bad, they just rambled about a dozen other things instead.

But it wasn't a particular bad book. It was only a bad book if you don't think older folks should be allowed to have physical relationships. Or if you need those detailed to you in voyeuristic detail.

Or if you need those detailed to you in voyeuristic detail. Jay and CLSN have frequently talked about how they don't like reviewers who "reject the premise." In other words, judge a book on what it's trying to do, don't just mock it because you don't like what it was trying to do. So there wasn't any hatred towards a cheesy romance novel, but they still made fun of the poor craftsmanship.

The shovel-related Stephen King book it's going to be is Lisey's Story.

If anyone is curious about Trigger Warning, the vile conservative wank-fantasy that J and Chris have adamantly refused to read, Jenny Nicholson did a fun video on it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qMgMr0JcYJ4

My parents became Parrot Heads a while back and I am champing at the bit to hear Buffet be savaged relentlessly and hopefully have one insensitive statement made thirty years ago be dredged up to infuriate Friedman. Edit: Ah, there it is. (Obviously the Confederate apologia is disgusting and terrible. But I'm always baffled that Friedman is incensed enough to tear into a book but doesn't find an inclusion like this, or a previous action of its authorship to disqualify it from being the subject of light comic ribbing.)

Collision actually making an effort to finish the plot in 60 under threat has improved the episodes a not-insignificant amount.
