Two strangers, American and Canadian, go through EVERY Clive Cussler novel, from a (hopefully) modern progressive viewpoint. They also get off on tangents and talk about BETTER books, but there's so much to love with these nerdy macho time capsules.

    Cussler Hustlers S6 E1: The Biggest Ass In Hawaii

    Cussler Hustlers S6 E1: The Biggest Ass In Hawaii

    We're back! It's time to blaze through a book that has no time for dilly-dallying. Pitt finds a capsule and then nearly dies several times before thinking "Hmmm, there might be something going on here." Who is the sexiest woman in the Pittverse? Who is the most dangerous woman in the Pittverse? Might they be the same person?! ONLY TIME WILL TELL! Also, speedos.

    PITT STOP #2: The Columbo Episode

    PITT STOP #2: The Columbo Episode

    PITT STOP #2 brings us teen heartthrob Peter Falk and the inimitable, world-famous, culture-defining Lieutenant Columbo. Nancy's Secret Boyfriend had a career spanning five decades of bringing down rich evildoers (so, of course, you know it's a work of fiction). Born the same year as Don Pendleton, which just goes to show you really could do anything you want back then, as long as you didn't die of war or tuberculosis.

    PITT STOP #1: The Mack Bolan Episode

    PITT STOP #1: The Mack Bolan Episode

    Our first PITT STOP episode is about the progenitor to Dirk Pitt, the divergent ancestor of Rambo, the grandfather of The Punisher, and one of the most-read Men's Novel series in history: Don Pendleton's MACK BOLAN. This tall, dark-haired, leathery-skinned, absurdly-skilled ex-military man who spends six hundred books killing everyone who dares threaten America. At leask Dirk has the good sense to wait until wacky adventures happen to him. Enjoy, won't you?

    Cussler Hustlers S5 E9: Jerk Of All Trades

    Cussler Hustlers S5 E9: Jerk Of All Trades

    We did it! We made it! THE END OF NIGHT PROBE! Clive is making up for lost time with a finale that kills half the named characters and two-thirds of the NPCs. Dirk commits several acts of international terrorism, which is what heroes do. Heidi gets her happy ending. The world finally figures out what to do with Canada, and absolutely no copyright laws are violated.

    Cussler Hustlers S5 E8: Muck Fuckled

    Cussler Hustlers S5 E8: Muck Fuckled

    Pitt finishes killing everyone around him in Canadian waters, so he heads back to New York to kill some Yankees. More drunk, hairless sex. More side quests into weird history. A ghost attack and an impromptu bout of dinner theatre gives Dirk his final epiphany. Men would rather destroy democracy than go to therapy.

    Cussler Hustlers S5 E7: Bye Bye, My Gly

    Cussler Hustlers S5 E7: Bye Bye, My Gly

    Things are happening fast and furious now.... though since it's in Canada, we're still polite and travelling at a sensible speed. The NUMA team makes a lot of progress on the Empress of Ireland, until it blows up and everyone dies. Brian Shaw regrets working with Foss Gly, until he blows up and everyone dies. Honestly, Dirk Pitt should come with hazard labels. Also, Heidi makes coffee. Join us, won't you?
