Author Chris Zeischegg joins us to talk about his newest book, Creation: On Art and Becoming. Chris' work is semi-autobiographical and heavily influenced by his years working in the sex industry. Longtime collaborator, Luka Fisher, serves as a muse and a thread that weaves Chris' newest collection of short stories and essays together. We discuss the book, Luka's role in both the book and Chris' life, the impact of toxic masculinity on everyone in the sex trade regardless of gender, and the shadow side of porn - all of which appear in Chris' transgressive and visceral writings. Content warning: we discuss the impact of sex work including self harm and suicidal ideation.

Today we welcome author, filmmaker, and (retired) performer Christopher Zeischegg for two films by notorious transgressive author Dennis Cooper. Cooper's queer, graphic, sex- and death-obsessed fiction is disturbing enough on its own. Now he's ventured twice into filmmaking: first with 2015's LIKE CATTLE TOWARDS GLOW, a collection of shorts concerned with many of the same violent themes as his written work. Then he switched gears with 2018's sweeter PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT, about a teenager compelled to literally blow himself up—with a little help from his friends. Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
