The Not Your Grandmother's Book Club Podcast

This week, we take a look at the “traditionalist Catholics” and rad trads and trad caths, a cesspool of antisemitism and misogyny (and some ordinary old religious fanatics as well). Benedict has also declared himself the anti-pope this week, so look forward to your forthcoming excommunication. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week, we retvurn to our book review of Ted Cruz’ “Unwoke” and find the first chapter to be primarily Ted crapping on lefties and college students while insisting he’s the most tolerant and open lover of ideas and college students.

This week, Kevin decided to dig into the as-yet untapped pool of obsurdity that is the Prager U short documentaries starting with "Restricted: How Big Tech is Taking Away Your Freedom, and it was just about bad as expected.

This week, we finally begin our reading of the book “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America” by the world’s most hated senator, Ted Cruz. This week we dug into the prologue and introduction and learn that Ted has no excuses, as has always been the case. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This month we decided to look at something we started over on the regular show, the 2011 Documentary "Cultural Marxism - The Corruption of America" a James Jaeger film, and oh boy did we find out some interesting things along the way. We highly recommend watching along with us this week. You can find the full movie on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIdBuK7_g3M&t=4178s  

This week, Kevin is writing the episode description in protest because Benedict vetoed his proposed episode title. Yes Ted Cruz sucks, yes this week we talked about him, but wouldn’t this episode be just that much better if we called him a cuck in the title? Wouldn’t it be slightly funnier? So yeah we do Ted’s bio this week or whatever, but Benedict also sucks this week. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week, we finally finished off our review of Josh Hawley’s sad self help book attempt “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs” with the very sort of wet fart we suspected it would end with from the very beginning, namely Chapter 10 “King.” Next week we will do our author introduction to Ted Cruz and the following week we will begin reviewing his garbage fire, “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.” Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week, we preemptively begin our next book review of Ted Cruz’ “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America” by taking a look at the antisemitic conspiracy theory Ted built his book around, “Cultural Marxism.” We take a look at how the term developed from the nazi propaganda term Cultural Bolshevism into the neo-nazi term cultural marxism and fail to understand the right’s complete lack of shame.

This week, we complete the penultimate chapter of Josh Hawley’s Manhood by reading chapter 9 “Priest” in which Josh utterly fails to connect any of his personal stories to the subject matter or explain why a mental health episode means we all need to be christian fascists.
