The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd 4: Trolled By Agatha...

Shark Liver Oil ·

2015/10/26

Well, where to start with this one? After four glorious episodes of rampant speculation about parlourmaid sexy dances, bloody-dagger-based-cash-in-hand-motivated-murder and (of course) salacious scenes of chronic butler self abuse - our proud theories and tentative conclusions are roundly blown out of the water by a truly spectacular Agatha Christie twist. So come along with us as we discover who really killed Roger Ackroyd. We were absolutely flabbergasted. For all the wrong reasons. Plus! YOUR

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd 3: Not Angry, Just...

Shark Liver Oil ·

2015/10/19

In part three of Shark Liver Oil's page by page guide to Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd we begin to get a bit frustrated with Poirot's "I've found out something important... but I'm not going to tell you what it is" routine. We also discover such nineteenth century highlights as goose quills, dodgy muddy boots and playing the table top sensation that is "Mah Jong". Oh, and the doctor and detective seem to be closing in on the murderer.. Send your feedback, requests or far out murder

Shark Liver Oil returns with the second of a four part read through of Agatha Christie's The Death Of Roger Ackroyd. In this section we discover a vital clue in the form of a mysterious gold ring, Dave questions the effectiveness of "oh I couldn't possible be guilty, I'm a woman" as a defence and Matt sticks resolutely to his knife in neck/ sexy dance/ perverted butler theory.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd Part 1 - Possible...

Shark Liver Oil ·

2015/10/05

We're doing a classic Hercule Poirot mystery novel from the master of the art, Agatha Christie. This book's got it all - a man with a fortune who won't share his cash, suspicious behaviour from close family members, potentially disgusting behaviour on the part of a butler, the world's worst attempt at going incognito, and a very strange way of deciding who is trustworthy (featuring the Daily Mail). Spoilers - Ackroyd isn't long for this earth. But we're in it until the shocking revelation in a few

Mort Part 1 - I Could Murder.......A Curry

Shark Liver Oil ·

2015/04/08

We're back, and we're doing a modern classic - Terry Pratchett's Mort. Watch as we meet Death himself and discover he loves a skull-wax, digs curry, and cares more for cats than you might normally expect. This is a bit of a heartfelt one for Dave, since Terry Pratchett is a hero of his; and in his honour, we've gone looking for the surreal and the beautiful in this book. And when you've got a deathly horse called Binky, surreal beauty isn't far off. As ever, we want to hear your views on the book -

I Am Legend Part 3 - Am I Legend?

Shark Liver Oil ·

2015/02/02

It's the third part of our rolling, rollocking shamble through Richard Matheson's classic I Am Legend. This week, we've got paranoia, murky moral complexity, and wooden mallets to the face. We're also taking a look at the best that the internet has on I Am Legend, and wondering how exactly you're supposed to read out the title. We're looking for the next book to do so if you've got any ideas, or comments, or half-formed mutterings, send them to us, we love 'em all. Email

2015/01/19

We're back for the new year, and we're doing the sci-fi/horror classic I Am Legend. This isn't your Will Smith adaptation - well obviously it isn't, it's our patented blend of nonsense, idiocy and literature, which is much more enjoyable. And our CGI really is better than theirs.

2014/12/30

We're rounding off our December of Christmas themed material with a look at the ultra-short story by Charles Dickens called The Goblins who Stole a Sexton. It's taken from the Pickwick Papers and is seen by many (including us) as the spiritual dad of A Christmas Carol. It's got goblins, ghastly goings on and a gravedigger called Gabriel Grubb.

It's the last part of our coverage of A Christmas Carol, and we've got jolly ghosts, silent ghosts, a massive feast, a bit of slap and tickle behind the curtains, the stamp collectors of the British Empire, and Ebenezer Scrooge really really seriously failing to take a hint. Also featuring Dave's desperate attempt to feel the simple redemptive joy of a child at one of the most over-used lines in English literature.

A Christmas Carol 1: Humbug!

2014/12/09

Wooooo! Woooooooo! Woooooooooo! It's time to combine two of Shark Liver Oil's favourite things - christmas and ghost stories! Yes, it's the first of a three part extravaganza about the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Ebeneezer Scrooge is a brooding, anti-yuletilde eco-warrior who abhors fossil fuel energy. Jacob Marley is an insubstantial wispy wonder with a fetish for clanking chains and ghostly voyeurism. And Mr G. Christmas-Past is a nostalgia loving smarty pants with a flickering

We'll join Holden as he sneaks into mum and dad's place (don't wake the maid!), goes on the run (again) and begins a one man crusade to rid the world of rude graffiti. We'll also discuss the very strange interaction between Holden and one of his teachers - what the hell was that all about?

The Catcher in the Rye 2: Where's Holden?

Shark Liver Oil ·

2014/11/18

We're back, ya phonies, with another slice of our take on this definitely-not-dated-but-actually-classic literature. This week, we're watching Holden deal with a pimp, a taxi driver, at least two overprivileged wankers, two nuns, an old flame and some ducks. And Dave even finds something to like about the book. What do you think? Over-rated teen angst? Deathless brilliance? Let us know at sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, or tweet us @SharkLiverOil.
