b'New episode! We cover our third book, Raymond Chandler\\u2019s 1939 debut novel The Big Sleep. We discuss the detective Philip Marlowe and his possible secret life, muse upon the motivations and intentions of Raymond Chandler, read similes and descriptions to each other, and eventually fall into two camps with our enjoyment of this book. We really get into the outrageous misogyny and homophobia present throughout, as well as the substance vs. writing style of Chandler. Katy tells the same Hitchcock story twice, Carrie reads to us from her storybook, Maddy really had problems with the descriptions of everything from plants to women, and Mack does visual parlor tricks (on a podcast). We learn some possible worm facts, hear a Chandler impression, have a minor Roman emperor corner, learn the dollar amount Mack needs to look away from a murder, and wonder what the deal is with all the teeth. We also make wild accusations and statements with little research so remember this is a fun fictional mystery podcast and not serious literary criticism! Give it a listen!
