Cunk on Everything

The Encyclopedia Philomena

By: Philomena Cunk

Narrated by: Philomena Cunk

From the creator and star of the “deeply funny, unexpectedly informative” (The Daily Beast) Netflix mockumentary Cunk on Earth, a helpful guide covering every single topic in the known universe, from Adam and Eve to Top Gun.

Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. And now, Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, by Philomena Cunk.

Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest issue: why are there so many books? Wouldn't it be better if there was just one? This is that book — an encyclopedia of all human knowledge, delving into not only life's greatest mysteries but our most important political figures and cultural touchstones.

Read it, and you'll never have to read another book again.

Fantastically inaccurate. Just enough information to really appreciate the satire. The questions offered up are legit questions... if you have no knowledge.

Wonderfully irreverent

I wish it was longer.
All these superfluous words are just to meet the 15 word minimum requirement to post the review

It helps to be English…

because there are lots of references to British celebrities. Still plenty funny, though. I laughed a lot.

Very funny!

Very funny. Sadly there are no references to the unrelated Belgian techno anthem, “Pump up the Jam.”
