The Brothers DeeneyBook of Noel - A Christmas Chronicle Netflix describes this movie as "feel good". Don't believe them as you won't feel ANYTHING. A Christmas Chronicle was the vanguard of the Netflix Christmas vehicle that spawned two sequels. TWO! It's trash. If you like Kurt Russell so much you'll watch anything with him in it; even Escape from LA, even Deathproof, even Crypto... Id' still recommend you stay away from this. It's a lot of things, but most of all it's boring. Conal and Joe do share their favourite Christmas presents ever though. That's a good bit. Support the show2023-12-0545 min
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 91 - BrothersWe know, we know. It's been an embarrassingly long time, but we're back now. Shut up!In this, the last episode of the series, we look at something very close to our hearts and our new branding: brothers. So many good brothers: the Marxes, the Kemps, them Roman ones that drank off a wolf. Add to that list the brothers Deeney and we've got ourselves a podcast. We don't ask that you like us, we only demand that you love us unconditionally. Support the show2023-11-201h 00
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 90 - Weird AnimalsWe're back (sorry about the delay) for the penultimate episode of the series and what a ride it has been. This time the Brothers Deeney turn their hand to the wonderful world of weird animals. These aren't the one you'll see on a family crest (even though Deeney has a snake on its crest. Fact.). These are the animals you have to call a professional to get rid of. Ugly, slimy, spikey, and just generally minging, these are the creatures that make you challenge your faith and lock your doors. Oh, and Joe went to a sperm b...2023-04-171h 09
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 89 - GrandmasGrandma we love you. And we really do. Pack your pyjamas in a bag, you're staying at your nanna's tonight. Grandmas are an amazing, often patronised group that pass on their invaluable wisdom for no fee other than a wrinkly kiss upon parting. Without grandmas we wouldn't be, and we're eternally grateful for that. Ignore the weird political beliefs and quaint insistance on things being done in a very particular way and you've got yourself the best people going. Coincidentally, Conal and Joe have EXACTLY the same grandparents. Weird. Sazzie doesn't. Sup...2023-02-2851 min
The Brothers DeeneyBook of Noel - Falling for ChristmasLast one! Thank fuck for that. Lindsay Lohan sees us through to the day itself with a bawdy romp through actual snow with an INSUFFERABLE fiancee and a heart of gold.. after she gets knocked out by skiing.Again, this is a 50/50 split: Conal and Lizzy love it, Joe and Sazzie... well they think differently. It's shit. This is Joe, hello!Thanks everyone for making this so much fun. We'll be back next year. If you have any suggestions of terrible Christmas films for us to review, let us know on show@bookofnowt.c...2022-12-2335 min
The Brothers DeeneyBook of Noel - A Castle for ChristmasHellooooooo and welcome to the bonnie Highlands where the water flows like whiskey or something. Yeah, we're giving A Castle for Christmas both barrels in this episode. Joe and Sazzie liked it, Lizzy and Conal did not. What a gang of mates we are. I think we've all lost the ability to judge films correctly. It's better than Scarface.Support the show2022-12-1633 min
The Brothers DeeneyBook of Noel - Jingle All the WayArnold Schwarzenegger plays a man that works so hard selling mattresses or something that he forgets he has a kid that's Anakin Skywalker and is strongarmed by Tom Hanks's wife to find the hottest toy on the market on Christmas Eve. Should be the recipe for some side-splitting Christmas hijinx, no? No. It isn't. It's really bad. I mean, this film has the blackest heart. Conal and Joe are joined by their Christmas elves Sazzie Kluvitse and Lizzy Dening in providing unparralleled Christmas content for all the family (contains high-end swearing).

The Brothers DeeneyChapter 86 - Robin Hood Book of Nowt, Book of Nowt, riding through the glen. Book of Nowt, Book of Nowt with two ageing men. Steal from the rich, the Patreon route. Book of Nowt, Book of Nowt, Book of Nowt.Welcome Merrie Men to the Sherwood Forest of the podosphere where we search for the legend that is the Robin Hood myth. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, but it has become one of the most loved folk tales in the world with actors from Taron Egerton to Rik Mayall donning the Lincoln green and yomping around the woods like a f...2022-11-0759 min
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 85 - Scooby DooAlrite cowardly argonauts, take a bite our of this MASSIVE podcast sandwaich. Scooby Doo is a much-loved and much-notverygood cartoon from ages ago that's still limping along to this day. It's got Scooby, a big dog that is too motivated by food and isn't funny; Shaggy, a pot head deadbeat that isn't funny; Velma, a smug nerd that isn't funny; Daphne, air-head, trophy-wife, eye-candy that isn't-funny; and Fred who isn't funny at all. Conal's done his back in and Joe sings a lot. Happy Halloween xSupport the show2022-10-3140 min
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 84 - BaldnessFor the first time, the Brothers Deeney can speak on a topic with some authority!Accepting baldness is a depressing but also life-affirming part of anyone's life, but the Joe, Conal, and to a lesser degree Sazzie (aka the best afro in South London) are here to give you the guidance necessary to live the fullest life looking a bit daft. We cover baldness much like fine hair covers a head: thinly and unconvincingly.Support the show2022-10-2159 min
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 83 - KaraokeUp next, we have Joe and Conal singing "The Book of Nowt". Karaoke, the fear-inducing, king-making, night-ruining silliness from Japan that we all secretly enormously love. Starting back in 1971, karaoke is now a national pastime and the great equaliser on a night out. We appreciate you all and want nothing but the best for you and your family's future.

The Brothers DeeneyChapter 82 - Twin PeaksDiane! Twin Peaks. The weirdest, sexiest, funniest, shittest, brilliantest show that's ever been. If you know the program, you should listen to the boys discussing it. If you haven't, you should still listen but you should maybe tell all your friends too. Give yourself a present and listen to our wonderful podcast with a donut and a cup of coffee. Black as midnight on a moonless night. The owls are not what they seem.Support the show2022-10-071h 00
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 81 - The Gin CrazeDrunk for a penny, dead drunk for tuppence!The early 18th century brought a pandemic of addiction amongst the putrid streets of old London Town. William of Orange had become king from the Netherlands and brought with him enough gin to intoxicate a nation. And drunk London was for fifty years! The Brothers Deeney get under the skin on this bizarre stretch of British history, whilst Sazzie comes along and we talk about other middle class stuff. Support the show2022-09-3051 min
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 80 - Murder"I can smile and murder whiles I smile."Another jolly episode of the Book of Nowt, coming at you from a maximum security prison. Two lads lay on the comedy whilst tragedy is all around them. Murder is a horrid thing, but a horrid thing that people seem to absolutely love. Weirdly. Come and join our true crime society whilst we discuss murderers' nicknames, ideal murder weapons, and an incident with a squirrel. Support the show2022-09-231h 00
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 79 - The English LanguageWe. Are. Back. After three long weeks (so long they were about ten actual weeks), the Brothers Deeney return to the podosphere to chew the fat on the hot-potch majesty that is the English Language. We cover everything from spelling reform, to language history, to favourite words, to Conal not liking asking people how they are, to even inventing our own new words. Sazzie is back to in a new(ish) feature that is well better than the quiz. And remember, give us five stars on Apple Podcasts please. Support the show2022-09-161h 05
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 78 - CliffhangersThe last episode of the season is celebrated with one of the most used storytelling tropes. But is it used because it's good or because it's easy? Well... it's a bit of both. But do listen even though I've told you the ending. Conal gets annoyed at toilet attendants, Joe is delighted he has a break. We've had a blast working on this season but this we promise:THE BOOK OF NOWT WILL RETURN! Support the show2022-05-3152 min
The Brothers DeeneyChapter 77 - IKEAFancy walking around commercial hell all day on a busy Saturday? Thought not. Why not just listen to this for a bit instead. IKEA is a nightmare of an experience that loads of other people think is really good but it isn't it's a nightmare. Meatballs, blue & yellow, the lights bit... what more could a person ever dream of? We also talk about our top three fruits. Important stuff. It's the penultimate show of the season. We're tired. Support the show2022-05-2437 min
