The Dan Brown Code

Join us for the first episode of The Dan Brown Code next Tuesday, January 30th.

This week, Forrest and Lina read chapters 1-20 of Angels and Demons we meet our hero, the erudite, hyper-relatable, approachably sexy Robert Langdon, who happens to be the dumbest Harvard professor on earth. Join us as we’re whisked away to a world of intrigue, symbol-based crime, and casual sexism. You can follow The Dan Brown Code at @danbrowncodepod on Twitter. Lina can be found at @linajemili.

This week, Forrest and Lina read chapters 21-40 of Angels and Demons. We're whisked away on a whirlwind trip to the Vatican, where more symbol-based crime and plenty of suspicious clergymen await. Robert Langdon continues to be clueless, Vittoria is single and ready to mingle (despite having recently suffered a tragedy), and we get introduced to the world's hottest priest.

This week, Forrest and Lina read chapters 41-60 of Angels and Demons. This time, we're treated to some heart-stopping actions scenes in... a glorified library. As our heroes flirt in thinning oxygen and explain very basic scientific concepts to one another, the clock is ticking for the assassin to finish being as extra as possible. Also, Dan Brown has an opportunity to prove to us how "woke" he is and falls on his face. You can follow us at @DanBrownCodePod on Twitter or find us on Facebook! Lina can be found at @LinaJemili and Forrest can be found at @WishboneUlysses. Email us at danbrowncodepod@gmail.com

This week, Forrest and Lina read chapters 61-80 of Angels and Demons. The book has gotten very fast-paced, very fun, and very, very gross. Vittoria and Robert manage to flirt in front of corpses, a lot of smart things are flatteringly misattributed to Winston Churchill, and Lina is forced to put down the book several times because of gore. Also, Dan Brown continues to really deliver on the “exposure” he promised his ambigramist instead of payment. “Dunkin’ On Dan” T-Shirts are now available at https://teespring.com/dunkinondan !

CW for this episode: Sexual Violence This week, Forrest and Lina read chapters 81-100 of Angels and Demons. We’re still in a race against the clock, as our heroes zip through rome to save the third cardinal from certain doom. Sylvie and the Hassassin are back in a big way, a good man is lost too soon, and Forrest is personally attacked through time by Dan(ielle) Brown. Also, the Camerlengo gets his groove back and it’s the best thing to ever happen.

CW for this episode: Sexual Violence, Ableism This week, Forrest and Lina read chapters 101-120 of Angels and Demons. Robert Langdon is on his own now, and is the definition of failing upward as he bungles every one of his attempted rescues. The Hassassin is gross beyond all reason, Dan Brown apparently despises people with disabilities, and Fake News is invented by our friend Gunther Glick. Also, we’re fresh out of cardinals.

At long last, Angels and Demons comes to a painful close. Robert Langdon can finally tell us if it hurt when he fell from heaven, the Hassassin has his claim to the title of "Drama Queen" challenged by none other than the Camerlengo, and Mortati is truly too old for this shit. Also, Forrest and Lina are forced to read the worst words ever written in fiction, so now you have to hear them too.
