372 Pages We'll Never Get Back is a podcast series created by Michael J. Nelson (of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax fame) and Conor Lastowka (writer for RiffTrax and novelist). Beginning in 2017 with Ernest Cline's Ready Player One (the titular 372-page book), the podcast discusses literature that the two men "are probably going to hate",[1][2][3] though they have stated they end up enjoying some books much more than others.

Reception

Michael J. Nelson, photographed in 2011.

In 2017, Marc Hershon of Vulture praised the first season of the podcast as a "comedically brutal thrashing" of Ready Player One.[4]

The A.V. Club's Mike Vanderbilt interviewed Nelson and Lastowka in 2018.[5]

In 2019, Alice Nuttall of Book Riot wrote, "Nelson and Lastowka spin bad books into gold. Listening to an episode is like sitting in on a reading group run by people who are much funnier than you are."[6] In 2020, Emily Martin compared 372 Pages to the film podcast How Did This Get Made?.[7]

In 2020, E. A. Henson of Biff Bam Pop! praised the podcast, saying, "372 Pages manages to avoid those common podcast pitfalls and hilarious [sic] transcend the source material...these books are so amazingly bad that they almost seem like some kind of outsider art."[8]
