Mean Book Club

Ever find yourself staring at a bestseller list, wondering how *that* book got there? You’re not alone. Mean Book Club is a weekly dose of hilarious, unfiltered literary reckoning from four friends with comedy backgrounds from UCB-NY, BuzzFeed, CollegeHumor, and Impractical Jokers. Each episode, they tackle a new New York Times bestselling book deemed to have "little literary merit," dissecting the plots, characters, and sheer baffling choices with equal parts sharp insight and merciless humor. It’s less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on the funniest, most cathartic book club meeting you could imagine-where the wine is virtual but the jokes are very real. They read them so you don’t have to, transforming your commute or chores into a genuinely entertaining escape. This podcast thrives on the shared experience of loving to hate-read, finding community in collective side-eye, and celebrating the pure fun of tearing into a wildly popular but poorly written novel. New conversations drop every Tuesday, ready to be your audio companion for a good laugh and a satisfying dose of schadenfreude.
