Old Boys Book Club

Episode 7: Some Kind of Fa**ot Upside Down Cake - Boris Johnson's 72 Virgins

Andrew Mole and Jonny Lennard Season 1 Episode 7

As we delve deeper into Johnson's mind, the insight we glean is ever more devastating.

Chapters 18 and 19 bring us a disturbing vision of an ideal date, and what does, or doesn't, constitute homosexual behaviour in the mind of a young, female, neo-con. 

Plus, an archaic take on the role of hormones in diminishing the rationale capabilities of the female mind.

And a total misunderstanding of the role in television aerials in military radio communication. 

It's as vintage OBBC as the smell of the Jag's freshly wiped-down leather.

Join the Old Boys Book Club - a weekly reading group led by Jonny and Andy, Anthropologists by training, cynics by choice, determined to understand one of modern societies oldest (and most incongruous) tropes - the Old Boy.

We have reached peak 'Old Boy' with Johnson, Trump, Farage et al leading the world towards a leather-clad man cave of environmental catastrophe. 

But what exactly is an Old Boy?

In what will almost certainly be called the pinnacle of modern satire, but is as yet unreviewed, Jonny and Andy introduce the world to Old Boy after Old Boy in the best way they know: by decoding the literature they have willingly created.
