"We were confronted with the very disturbing reality that young America had lost so much of its innocence. Innocence as we had known and lived it all our lives had, in so many respects, ceased to exist." "My very firm conviction is that today, chemistry has replaced 'hospital life and death crisis' as the prime emotional force of daytime. Man-woman chemistry. Live, flesh-and-blood people who can get the adrenaline flowing. Damn nifty people who can turn you on and keep you turned on. That's what it's all about today as never before. Chemistry surging through our veins. Sure, there are those who deny themselves--or say they do. Those who turn away--or say they do. But don't you believe it...Because either physically or emotionally, one way or another, we all feel the need to be needed, of being wanted, of knowing the touch, conquest, and surrender of another human being." -William J. Bell Equipage by Hermes (1970) + William J.

On this episode we bring Zach Langley Chi Chi of the I'm So Popular podcast to talk about 1980's Coin Locker Babies by Ryu Murakami. This one is an all-timer. We talk about: Horror drag, the conciseness of the Japanese language, white space on the page, visceral writing, retarded people who rate this book low for being gross, Murakami's influence on Miike and Tsukamoto, how to make a truly nasty novel through having good characters, businessmen beating off on the subway, voices that can destroy the whole world, flies with human faces, parental neglect, Tokyo as a city at war with the swamp it's built over, unique cultural phenomena, the glamor of mass acts of terror, bullying as a love language, outlets for human violence, art as a cage for violent impulses, homophobia, enjoying freaks, Otessa Moshfegh, and real-life Datura experiences.
The Gods have been slain and their world has come to an end. But the new world begins! ZACH LANGLEY CHI CHI ascends to shape this strange and virgin reality to his own vision. He initiates the demonic sacrament: a fusion of high and low art to conceive of new philosophy and new scripture for this unholy landscape.

Endless speed, the destruction of history, massacre of the deities, nuclear war, ecstasy in reality, and at the end of it all, a single question: How will you make the new world?

Across three timezones, a quartet of homosexuals gather for a symposium on faggotry. Rio and Matt are joined by Zach Langley Chi Chi from I'm So Popular podcast and Josh from Evil Thespian podcast to talk Faggots, Larry Kramer's seminal book (yes very seminal, and urinal, and fecal). All four plunge into the pit of sexuality to sample the Dionysian extremities of gay sex, and ask important questions, such as: would contemporary gays benefit from a few more Nazi boot orgies?After exploring gay perversity with Kramer, the boys are enveloped by the glossy nightmare that is Finding Prince Charming, Logo TV's homosexual answer to The Bachelor. In it, they experience the true terror of contemporary gay life; the need to be nice, and so socially frictionless you're drained of eros, and also the requirement to replace all your teeth with dental veneers.Join them...if you dare.
