Cussler Hustlers
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 S12 E8: Rudi Gets Yeeted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
VIOLENCE! Dirk returns to his primal element: the water! He sneaks up on the bad guys from behind, while Billy Yuma sneaks up on the bad guys from the front. Loren and Rudi join in the violence, but no-one seems to notice. Giordino ends up several inches shorter. Dirk gets another limp wrist. Tupac takes a spin in the lazy river. A bunch of mooks get memory holed. You can't have shit in Cerro El Capirote. Oh, and the bad guys still escape with all the treasure. ONE MORE EPISODE TO GO! Twitter:
Cussler Hustlers S12 E7: Pickles Amaru (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A slightly shorter episode this week, but we make up for it by being highly caffeinated! It's reunions all around. The bad guys get together to discuss how AWESOME everything is going, how they'll divvy up the treasure, and of course who is going to backstab who for a larger cut. The good guys (sand Loren and Rudi) get together to discuss how bad everything is going, how America simply cannot stand up to the geopolitical and military powerhouse that is the Mexican Border Authority, and how sexy
Cussler Hustlers S12 E6: Art Potato (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Things are accelerating! The Good Guys and The Bad Guys finally encounter each other, circling hesitantly and shyly like a couple kids at a high school dance. The metaphor breaks down when the Zolars kidnap, beat and torture most of Team America, but Pitt leaps to their heroic rescue and... uh... dives into the water and swims to freedom.

Loren hangs with some bikers. Al and Rudi charter a boat for a three hour tour. Tupac Amaru engages his active listening. Joseph Zolar hosts a fabulous showcase showdown. Billy Yuma discovers Chevy-based teleportation. Gaskill and Ragsdale are beaten by the chain of command. Topper wishes this was a Dungeon Crawler Carl
Cussler Hustlers S12 E4: Crime Harder! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A shorter episode this week, but five of the best chapters Clive's ever written! Fun, creative, descriptive, evocative, and of course chock full of stupidity. Dirk does some manscaping. Shannon does some Incan decluttering. Giordino ponders the mystery cheese. The Zolar crime family hires some very smart idiots. Clive discovers white-people spice. Enhance. Enhance. ENHANCE!!!
