The Dan Brown Code

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 7 (Chapters 63-75)

Welcome to the Internet’s most consistent podcast.

In this installment, Robert and Katherine spend SO long doing a simple internet search, Sato demonstrates that she’s ahead of her time when it comes to government sadism, and a young, allegedly Arab man is caught in a dangerous web of white nonsense. Also, Dan Brown drops a bombshell revelation about what Mal’akh most dangerous secret.

The Dan Brown Code

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 6 (Chapters 53-62)

Two uploads in one year? What's next, three?

In this installment, Sato potentially destroys priceless tomes, Robert Langdon takes his sweet, sweet time, and Mal'akh is radicalized into violence by a cheap History Channel documentary. Also, Lina and Forrest bond over their shared dream of riding the luggage belt at the airport.

The Dan Brown Code

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 5 (Chapters 43-52)

Hilariously, this episode starts with us saying the last episode was a mere two weeks ago–dear listener, our sincerest apologies. Also hilariously, the audio quality is dogwater.

We’re back in the powerful arms of the Money Brother himself. In this installment, Mol’och is gatekeeping, gaslighting, and certainly girlbossing; Robert Langdon can’t take a dose of his own patronizing medicine; and Katherine masters offensive use of flip phones. Also, Forrest and Lina take a listener question!

The Dan Brown Code

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 4 (Chapters 33-42)

On this Very Special Episode of the Dan Brown Code, Forrest and Lina are joined by longtime listener (and friend) Chris to discuss chapters 33-42 of The Lost Symbol. Robert Langdon revisits his Batman Origin story, the true finance bro-nature of our villain is revealed, and innuendos abound even in the Year of the Monk. Also, Chris absolutely schools Dan Brown (and us) on the various preservative liquids used in lab settings. Take that, Dan! Finally, we've created a new Instagram account intended to act as a companion to your listening experience.

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 3 (Chapters 21-32)

(Recorded April 2020) We're back, baby! In this ancient episode from early pandemic days, Forrest and Lina explore the (pretty dull) rising action of The Lost Symbol. In this section, Robert Langdon is lost in the flashback sauce (as well as the Sub Basement Basement), Mal'Akh takes advantage of the fact that Katherine does not know her brother, and Dan Brown is bae and on fleek. Also, Forrest and Lina presciently complain about Elon Musk. Follow us on Twitter(?) @DanBrownCodePod.

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 2 (Chapters 9-20)

Gone is Hot Girl Summer, and here to stay is Monk Girl Fall. In this rerecording of a Lost Episode of the Lost Symbol pick up just as things are getting exciting. In this section, Robert Langdon meets Edna Mode’s tether, our villain continues to allude vaguely to his motivations while being objectively attractive, and DB slips comfortably into his zone of tenuous historical connections. Also, we are treated to some of the best Sapphic tension of the 21st century.Stay safe out there, we love you.Follow us @DanBrownCodePod. Follow Lina at @LinaJemili and Forrest at @WishboneUlysses.

The Lost Symbol, Pt. 1 (Chapters 1-20)

CW: Transphobia and racial slursIt’s summertime* let’s party**!!! Gone is the curse of Digital Fortress. In this episode, Forrest and Lina jump into The Lost Symbol. This book has everything: men in robes, secret societies, and sexy sexy villains. We’re back to describing women skin and running after our father figures. We’re making cryptic phone calls and dunking on college kids. Life is good. Also, we establish that this book is almost a frame-by-frame ripoff of National Treasure. *January**listen to an inconsistent podcastFollow us @DanBrownCodePod.

Disclosure (The Motion Picture)

CW: Sexual assault, workplace sexual violence. This upload goes out to @chrisispoopin, an angel who deserves the return of his *favorite* podcast. In this episode, Forrest and Lina discuss the film Disclosure (1994), a film as old and as timeless as Lina herself. In a film that orbits wokeness without ever touching it, we find ourselves asking the difficult questions in this era of #MeToo; namely, what about the men? Also the VR sequence is the stuff of nightmares. Finally, we promise we recorded this episode before both Big Mouth and How Did This Get Made covered it. We’re back, baby. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod.

The Dan Brown Code

Digital Fortress, Pt. 6 (Chapters 106-Epilogue)

After yet another instance of technical sabotage from the NSA, who will stop at nothing to prevent us from revealing their secrets. Forrest and Lina return to the inescapable purgatory that is Digital Fortress. I wish I could tell you what happens in this episode, but unfortunately I read this section maybe 3 months ago and we recorded the episode maybe 1 month ago, so my brain has been hard at work at blocking out any memory of this godforsaken book. Just know that everyone of these supposed geniuses is a massive idiot, and Dan doesn’t really know what it means when a phrase or acronym is “short for” something else. Also good news: Despite Strathmore’s unbelievable creepiness, the NSA is still definitely good and privacy rights activists are definitely bad. Please enjoy the death rattle of Digital FARTress.

Digital Fortress, Pt. 5.5 (Chapters 91-105)

In this episode, Forrest and Lina get back to the action in Chapters 91-105 of The Book That Never Ends. Things are moving quickly, like how a person is technically moving quickly whey they’re frantically skidding down a steep hill with little to no traction. Dan brown leans heavily on the bait-and-switch gunshot, Susan doesn’t even try to be the protagonist, and Strathmore’s disgusting fantasy comes crashing down around him. Also, where is all this steam coming from? What? Follow us @DanBrownCodePod. Follow Lina at @LinaJemili and Forrest at @WishboneUlysses. Art by @omarjemili on IG.

Digital Fortress, Pt. 5 (Chapters 81-90)

Remember when we said the last episode was delayed? Lol. While the intro says that this is Chapters 81-100, Forrest and Lina have had mercy on you and cut it in half. Strathmore is caught in his own web of lies, Greg Hale predicts our current political crisis, and Lina is frustrated to the point of throwing objects by wordplay, Also, we get a behind the scenes look into the origin story of Suspense Master Dan Brown.

Digital Fortress, Pt. 4 (Chapters 61-80)

Lina is in ~*~Law School Finals~*~ so this episode is very much delayed, but in her defense Dan Brown doesn’t pay her bills (yet ;) ). In this episode, Forrest and Lina parachute down into Chapters 61-80 of Digital Fortress. Susan is the sidekick and bargaining chip in her own story; Dan Brown “doesn’t see color”; and sexual violence its threatened but like, just for fun. Also, David Becker is criminally incompetent and probably should be assassinated after all. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod. Follow Lina at @LinaJemili and Forrest at @WishboneUlysses.

Digital Fortress, Pt. 3 (Chapters 41-60

In this episode, Forrest and Lina strap into Chapters 41-60 of Digital Fortress. This section is much like a carnival ride in that it’s grotesque, it’s shoddily constructed, and while it may have seemed exciting when we were younger, it’s just nauseating now. We are graced by the presence of an actual Chad; Dan Brown’s avatar lectures a child punk on property law; and frankly there is too much fat phobia, ableism, gratuitous sex, and gross food stuff to even list in my snarky little recap. Also, this poor pastry chef is in for a hell of a yeast infection. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod. Follow Lina at @LinaJemili and Forrest at @WishboneUlysses.

Digital Fortress, Pt. 2 (Chapter 21-40)

In this episode, Forrest and Lina get back to the action in Chapters 21-40 of Digital Fortress. Dan Brown has finished his heavy exposition dump, and we made the mistake of walking into the bathroom after him. Susan lets a sexy eugenicist down easy, Becker is on a mad dash to show off how many languages he can speak, and a sex workers is (almost) humanized. Also, we have the pleasure of reading the best line DB has ever written and will ever write, and it’s delivered by a gay stereotype living his best life. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod.

Digital Fortress, Pt. 1 (Chapters 1-20)

In this episode, Forrest and Lina bust into Digital Fortress, Dan Brown’s first experiment in putting a lot of sentences together in a row. The latent Mary Sue misogyny is wilding, but the plot so far is very, very tame. Unbounded by his promise to stick to the facts, the Brownster treats us to garbage cryptography that can’t possibly make any sense, a picture of the NSA that is nothing less than heroic, and a lot of misappropriations of Japanese religion. Also, Dan Brown REALLY hates people with disabilities. Sorry for the unplanned hiatus. Lina just started law school. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod.

The Da Vinci Code (The Motion Picture)

This week (or more like last week because I was a full week late) Forrest and Lina watch the Major Motion Picture, The Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou, all of whom can catch these hands. In fact, they watch the Director’s Cut, which is an extra 27 minutes of absolutely nothing. For that, Forrest can catch these hands. In this film, Robert Langdon is a psychic superhero, Sophie has the power to telepathically heal phobias, and Alfred Molina is impeccably cast. Also, this podcast is a BIG fan of self-flagellating religious zealots with albinism, so long as they’re sexy. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod. Follow Lina at @LinaJemili and Forrest at @WishboneUlysses.

The Da Vinci Code, Pt. 5 (Chapters 81-Epilogue)

In this episode, Forrest and Lina are finally free from the tyranny of the best-selling novel of all time as the plot is (disappointingly) revealed and then quickly wrapped up. Robert Langdon gets to play house with another pretty-but-not-too-pretty, smart-but-not-too-smart European woman, Dan Brown Dan-splains all the wrong things, and Silas finally wins our hearts in the end. Also, I hope you like the word "burgeon" because we get a LOT of this in this section. Our next book is Digital Fortress! None of us know what to expect. You can follow the podcast @DanBrownCodePod or find us on Facebook! Forrest can be found @WishboneUlysses and Lina can be found @LinaJemili. You can also email us at danbrowncodepod@gmail.comTo the one person who dm'd me (Lina) a sword, I love you.

The Da Vinci Code, Pt. 4 (Chapters 61-80)

In this penultimate dive into the best-selling novel of all time (again, wow), Forrest and Lina read chapters 61-80 of The Da Vinci Code. Robert Langdon has gone full red string-on-cork board bananas, Silas is losing his religion in the corner, and we are treated to some incredible badassery on Leigh Teabing's part despite how creepy he is. Also, Sophie finally reveals the apparently inexcusable thing she saw her grandfather doing, and it is VERY disappointing. Follow us on Twitter @danbrowncodepod. Lina can be found @LinaJemili, and Forrest can be found at @WishboneUlysses. You can also email us at danbrowncodepod@gmail.com. If you're reading the show notes, I (Lina) love you.
