It’s Lit Book Reviews

The boys discuss the renowned Kurt Vonnegut's most beloved works - Slaughterhouse Five, The Sirens of Titan, and Cat's Cradle. Is Vonnegut prolific? Or too on the nose? Or is that the point? We have no idea. Tune in if you have nothing better to do.
 
And yes, at 3:48 Jesse says "autobiogriphal", which is not a word. He's an idiot.

Will the real Henry V please stand up? Is Timmy's Netflix movie accurate? What of Shakespeare? We answer none of these questions in this episode on Dan Jones' latest book, Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King. The story of this medieval king is truly fascinating and Jones knows how to deliver history in a way that reads like fiction.

In this video, we break down Tom Holland's Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World. Tom is one of our favorite historians and this was a book that was on the top of our list to read this year for 2025. The book sets out to tackle massive ideas and covers thousands of years of history. In the end, Tom made some conclusions that we found fascinating and had to discuss. Let us know what your thoughts are on some of these big claims down below. FYI, we do not claim to be historians or theologians. Just two dumb dudes attempting to discuss high-level ideas. Be kind.

Here it is, folks. The video everyone, yet no one, has asked for. We present our top fantasy/sci-fi book series of all time. Due to time constraints, we limited ourselves to just our top 5 (each). We also had a rule of only allowing series we completed to be admitted into our rankings. Let us know in the comments what you think about our different rankings, and let us know if there is a series out there we are missing out on. Peace, Love, and many blessings to you and your forefathers.

In this solo episode, Jesse discusses Matt Gatton's 'The Shadows of Socrates'. Socrates' philosophy had a profound effect on culture that can still be felt today, and perhaps there are things we can still learn from his life and death thousands of years later. Listen in to see if this book is for you.
