We spiral into horror with Junji Ito's classic horror comic Uzumaki. Tom loves this grotesque masterwork of dread and decay, in which a town is ravaged by an unkillable monster, specifically spirals. Like, the shape. Like a swirly line. That's the monster. It's scary, I swear! But will guests Josh Zagoren and returning champ Erika Price see the same delicious horror in Uzumaki that Tom does? Listen and find out my buds!

With a lineup as dope as this, there was little doubt The Skewer 18 would own. And own it did. Ilana Gordon started off the op-eds with a terrifyingly in-depth look at the Unicorn Frappucino. Carl Glick showed us the dark side of jacking in to cyberspace. Erika Price shared the story of her long struggle and eventual victory over her hated rival Bill O'Reilly. Onicia Muller showed us a 7-step program to learn from Juicero and become Silicon Valley VC millionaires. And Mary Tilden gave us a Southerner's perspective on how fucking insane it is that Confederate monuments are just coming down now. In the Skewer debate Sonal Aggarwal and Josh Zagoren had a raucous verbal melee to decide which industry should follow airlines' lead & get inexplicably violent. It was a good one.

From WRITE CLUB San Francisco, it's Kamala Puligandla (SEIGE) vs Seanan McGuire (CEDE) They're both fictional pieces this time, and full of delicious lines like: I watched Kelly Ripa selling sleek dishwashers on TV and wondered how much more dead I'd have to look in order to sell efficient appliances to Americans. Edited by Annie Costakis, directed by Josh Zagoren, produced by Lindsay Muscato. Hosted by Ian Belknap and Lindsay Muscato.
From the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, we hear two performers, Martha Marion and Heather Edwards, take on Obey vs Rebel. Ian and Lindsay debate how they would command a submarine, and other ridiculous things vaguely related to the theme. We also interview WC LA producer Jeffrey Dorchen. Our director Josh Zagoren calls the shots in the background. Annie Costakis is our sound engineer and editor.
In the season finale, an apocalyptic premonition could alter the course of Claude and Cyrus' lives forever. Meanwhile, the battle between the virtuous and the fallen comes to a head as Angie must save her beloved -- and PleasureTown itself -- from the clutches of the treacherous Sheriff.
Two of PleasureTown's long-time residents reach the end of the road. Ma Barker visits the grave of her deceased husband, Henry, and reflects on a life of hard knocks. Meanwhile, Shaman Jon's spiritual awakening reaches a new level of transcendence as the town convenes for a memorial.
A mystery unfolds in PleasureTown as one of the pillars of this hedonistic society is found dead due to strange circumstances. Meanwhile, residents cope with the aftermath of a large and destructive fire. All is relayed by a new reporter, who brings her own unique, yet familiar flare for storytelling (yes, this is certainly an homage to This American Life).
In this episode, we learn the birth story behind PleasureTown's original holiday, The Feast of the Wretched. Meanwhile, Mattie Barker has left town, putting aside her frying pan to take up a pair of boxing gloves. Also, Shaman John begins a new ritual while in self-exile. Plus, a strange love affair sweeps the reporter off his feet, and Claude visits the barber for a trim... and leaves with a bruised ego.
In this episode, we meet PleasureTown's barber, who tells the story of how he and his blind brother fled to the settlement after a particularly hairy run-in with a local bigot. We also revisit Shaman John and hear his tale of loss and woe. To cope, the Mormon-turned-mystic smokes an herbal mix and wanders into the woods... only to find himself face-to-face with the Devil himself. Will he give up his soul for the one thing he misses most?
As word spread of the strange, hedonistic town, more and more lost souls gravitated toward a place they believed could be their home. In this episode, we follow Shaman John, once a man of faith turned mystic, through his first day as a Pleasure Town resident. Meanwhile, Matilda Barker tells her tale of love, pain and the strange brew concocted when you mix the two. After years of silence, her husband Henry gets an opportunity to recount his side of the story.
