The Catcher In The Rye 1: Anyone Fancy a Pint?

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/11/10

It's time for a new book and Shark Liver Oil is keeping it classical but cycling forward a couple of hundred years from Jane Austen - to bring you JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye! This week we're discussing chapters 1-12. We answer important questions like: does Holden Caulfield have ADHD? Just when is the right time to sell off your typewriter? Did people really use words like "phoney" and "crumby" instead of proper swears in the 50s? And will Dave find anything in this book that he likes

Pride & Prejudice 4: Shake That Moneymaker

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/11/03

We're reached the end of the road for Pride and Prejudice, but it's not going out without a fight. We've got deathmatches; we've got mobster pimps; we've even got Judi Dench's massive biceps. We've got it all - and for this edition, we've got a roundup of the various views from across the internet on this book, from 'I'd marry Darcy, 5 stars' to 'My missus would marry Darcy, zero stars'. And that's before we even get to the theological and political heart of the book, apparently. Oh yes, you get

Pride & Prejudice 3: Big C

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/10/27

Get ready for more wedding making hijinks with the third part of Shark Liver Oil's coverage of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Mr Darcy makes an indecent (or at least inappropriate) proposal, Lydia runs off with a man in uniform, Mrs Bennet recovers from a mystery illness and Big C offers his condolences. It's going to be a wild ride. In the words of Lydia, "I dare say there'll be some balls." Get your feedback in to sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com or find us on twitter @sharkliveroil Next week

Pride & Prejudice 2: Pimp Mummy

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/10/20

We go further into the world of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's classic novel of manners, and discover the chances of a Kevin Smith adaptation are higher than you might think. Also featuring the world's worst marriage proposal, an unexpected comparison with Dumb and Dumber, and Dave's massive ignorance of the history of 18th century literature. With zombies. And ninjas. If that sounds as preposterous to you as it does to us, tell us about it! Email sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, and tweet us

Pride & Prejudice 1: Get Married or Die Tryin

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/10/13

It's time for a change of pace here at Shark Liver Oil as we delve into the world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. In part 1 we read to chapter 17. Along the way we'll get drunk with Darcy, get sick with Jane, get bored with Mr Collins, get quizzical with Elizibeth and join Mrs Bennett on her mission to get all of her daughters married, or die tryin'. It promises to be more fun than being at loo with your closest friends. PLUS! Stay tuned for our take on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - as we

Watchmen Part 4 - Psychic Afro Squid Is Coming For...

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/10/06

It's the end of the road for the Watchmen, and we've got the crescendo to beat them all. We've got reviews from the lovers and the haters, we've got a supervillain to rival Zoolander's Mugatu, and we've got some swearing that's really quite restrained in the circumstances. Also featuring Matt's worryingly total recall of late-90's pop smash hits. Dave's loving it; Matt's loved it but wants to go back to the Beano. How about you?

Watchmen: Part 3 - The 40 Year Old Virgin

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/09/29

We're spending a bit more time with Lori and Dreiberg in our third instalment of our Watchmen walkthrough. It's time to watch a 40 year old nice guy with a spandex fetish and an uncomfortable way around women trying to put some moves on his sexy young friend. Just like a night out in Barnsley. Also this week - why Lori just can't stop hitting the flamethrower button, killer one liners for scary prison situations and Dr Manhattan's world famous glass-blowing class. Fire up the screechers!

Watchmen: Part 2 - Big Blue Swingin' Dick

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/09/21

It's time for Shark Liver Oil to delve deeper into the distressing, disturbing and dystopian world that has Watchmen as we recap chapters 4 to 6. The purple suit and custom made cufflink wearing Smartest Man in the World gets into a scrap, the hipster's hero of choice gets arrested and it's time to find out just where Mr Big Blue Swingin' Dick himself came from. It's Watchmen like you've never experienced it before. Any comments, questions, points or criticisms of the book or the cast - send em to

Watchmen: Part 1 - Human Bean Juice

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/09/20

We're back, and it's time for a BEHEMOTH. We're discussing philosophy, kick-ass gadgets, and the parallels between Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's modern classic and the Beano. Which apparently exist. From big, deep characters to a joke about baked beans that's in the worst possible taste, we don't shrink from talking about the important stuff, and neither should you - get in touch if this is a favourite of yours, or if you don't understand the hype, or if you're amazed it was a comicbook at all

"Watch out Marco! It's a paper hat tearing, tarot reading, ash blowing ex-girlfriend and she's out for revenge!!" Um, spoiler alert. Welcome to the last in our series of podcasts about Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus. We've come too far to turn back now. Two starcrossed lovers seem destined to enter a magical duel, one circus owner seems destined for mental insanity and one young man from Massachusetts seems destined for continued obscurity.

No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Matt and Dave take apart the second part of the book, called "Illumination", as the circus gets into the swing of things and the challenge between Marco and Cenlia um... hots up?

It's a new book for the Sharkliveroil team to get their teeth into. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a magical romantic novel set around the kind of circus that you'd actually want to visit (real magic, good food and a distinct lack of scary clowns and tortured animals). In part 1, we'll discuss how the circus comes together and the dark secret competition that lurks in the background.
