Episode 73 – Cocksucker Blues
It might be autumn, but it’s time to finish up our summer of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll with the Rolling Stones controversial concert film Cocksucker Blues, a movie with plenty of rock and roll. And also some sex. And some drugs. Honestly, this movie could have been dedicated to…
Episode 72 – Naked Lunch (Live)
It might have felt like the longest short book they ever read, but Todd and Pete made it through the end of William S. Burroughs’ ‘Naked Lunch’. It was a meal consisting of sex, drugs, the black meat, homosexuality, jism, protoplasm, and, of course, ectoplasm, and so clearly not for…
Episode 71 – Naked Lunch (Part Two)

Episode 66 – Beloved (Part Two)
Todd and Pete continue their journey through Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize winning Beloved, which leads them to such questions as what the age of consent is for a spiritual manifestation.
