  1. Leonora Carrington's The Stone Door, Alchemy, Dreams, and Memory

    15 DEC

    Leonora Carrington's The Stone Door, Alchemy, Dreams, and Memory

    Eden is joined by friend of the cast Jesse Kohn (The Book of Webs) to talk about Leonora Carrington's beguiling and dense The Stone Door. Unfortunately, this episode is marred by the Brown University and Bondi Beach shootings. A better world is possible. Demand utopia. Music played: The Tea Club - The Bell Ringer https://theteaclub.bandcamp.com/track/the-bell-ringer

  2. Branson Reese Visits the Wizard's Castle

    7 DEC

    Branson Reese Visits the Wizard's Castle

    Langdon conjures forth the Wizard's Castle once more, this time trapping Branson Reese (HELL WAS FULL, SWAN BOY, Rude Tales of Magic, and more) within its sorcerous corridors. While there, the two discuss what makes jokes funny, the impact of the morality of art, and The Simpsons (among other things). Music played - Yellow Eyes - Brush the Frozen Horse https://yelloweyes.bandcamp.com/track/brush-the-frozen-horse

  3. Web of Angels and Another Cyberpunk

    27 OCT

    Web of Angels and Another Cyberpunk

    Langdon and Eden kick things off by talking about the uses of awards - how to follow them, what they're good for, and why! Then, they dive into John M. Ford's parallel reality version of cyberpunk with Web of Angels, his debut novel. Phone lines that span galaxies, crazy weird space opera, and a rough book that brims with passion! Music played: Heruvim - Arammu https://heruvim.bandcamp.com/track/arammu Chat Pile & Hayden Pedigo - Radioactive Dreams https://chatpile.bandcamp.com/track/radioactive-dreams

    Eddington and Weapons

    Naruto run with us to the local picture house to watch a double bill of Ari Aster's Eddington and Zack Cregger's Weapons, with Kayte Terry of the excellent Tender Subject podcast. Music by Umulamahri: https://umulamahri.bandcamp.com/album/learning-the-secrets-of-acid-2

  5. One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve

    6 SEPT

    One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve

    Langdon and Eden discuss the too-often bland and safe nature of science fiction and fantasy before diving in to a work that's anything but, "One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve"! Body horror, familial obsession, and finally being at peace with yourself mix in this arresting and clever novella about a man sawed in half! Music played: Rintrah - Fearful Symmetry https://rintrahmusic.bandcamp.com/track/fearful-symmetry Kayo Dot - Oracle By Severed Head https://kayodot.bandcamp.com/track/oracle-by-severed-head

    19 AUG

    Kazuo Ishiguro - Klara and the Sun

    Ishiguro season is done now that we've reached 2022's Klara and the Sun, the heartwarming story of a M3gan learning what it is to love. We also talk about Anime, for Satan. Music by https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/changelings

    1h 47m
  7. The Multitude of Existence and North Continent Ribbon

    6 AUG

    The Multitude of Existence and North Continent Ribbon

    This time around, Langdon and Eden peer into the world, which is actually many things and not just one (and that's good!) Then, they take a look at Ursula K. Le Guin award nominee, Ursula Whitcher's North Continent Ribbon! Weird spaceships, radical politics, interesting AI, and a lot of emotions mix in this short story suite! Music played: Hypomanic Daydream - Dissociative https://hypomanicdaydream.bandcamp.com/track/dissociative Editrix - The Big E https://editrix.bandcamp.com/track/the-big-e

    1h 21m
  8. The Futility of War and Zelazny's Creatures of Light and Darkness

    27 JUN

    The Futility of War and Zelazny's Creatures of Light and Darkness

    Langdon and Eden kick things off by asking the important questions: which member of the Friends cast would you follow into battle? They also discuss the inherent futility and horror of war. Then, they tackle Roger Zelazny's weird and feverish Creatures of Light and Darkness, touching on elements of myth, explosive prose, attention to detail, and Zelazny's unfortunate misogyny. Music played: Mathilde - Kepler- 186f https://mathilde-blackmetal.bandcamp.com/track/kepler-186-f Imipolex - Martian Blood Mother https://imipolex.bandcamp.com/track/martian-blood-mother
