Old Boys Book Club

Episode 18: Madder Than A Shithouse Rat, Old Boys Book Club, Boris Johnson's 72 Virgins

Andrew Mole and Jonny Lennard Season 1 Episode 18

Episode 18 may well be pushing into the realms of 'brunch', flirting as Johnson is with 10.30am (the internationally held switch-over point) but that doesn't stop our breakfast-obsessed auteur sticking in a couple of last-minute branded references. See if you can spot them as a way to distract from the dreadful prose. 

Oh, and the president is still being held by terrorists in Westminster Hall. Nnd there may or may not be a bit more on Pickel.

Over to you!

Join the Old Boys Book Club - a weekly reading group led by Jonny Lennard and Andrew Mole, 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.
