Old Boys Book Club

Episode 20: One Of The Tastiest Birds He'd Ever Seen, Old Boys Book Club, Boris Johnson's 72 Virgins

Season 1 Episode 20

It’s episode twenty! The big 2-0! And you know what that means? Plot-wise, nothing! Because we have arbitrarily sliced the book up into episode sized sections. But as an exercise in stamina, it’s quite something!

This week we are treated to a bit more back-and-forth courtesy of the terrorists exacting their (completely I’ll-conceived) plot, and we are served up Johnson’s take on insight into the terrorist psyche. Spoiler Alert: it’s thinking about sex.

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.
