We're back with our beloved (by both you and us) Bad Book Club series, this time with a revisit to one of the writers of all time: Dan Brown. We read The Da Vinci Code so you don't have to! Listen for a brutal takedown of Brown's factual inaccuracies, being too horned up for his own characters, incredibly childish writing style, and more. Trust us, this one is fun.

On this merry (and scary) episode, we tackle the burning question that's on everyone's minds right now: which Christmas songs best describe each of Stephen King's books? Nonbelievers might read this and say, "that concept doesn't make any sense," and "can you even make a whole episode about that?" But it makes a lot of sense, actually. And we did. Enjoy.
