    005: Jean Licker (Little Horn)

    In which Josh and Nick talk about the beginning of the sagging middle of Antichrist Superstar, starting with "Little Horn." This is also the episode that Nick is most afraid to come out. It's -- embarrassing. Topics include: Gotta have those tricksZim Zum or the Other OneLyrical GarbageThis is not a biblical history podcast butGeorge Romero rolling his eyesA Manson Grinch smileI know but please still listen to the next episodeWhy are zombie blow jobs important?Vapid Racist Superstar Says NothingThe "Break Stuff" of Antichrist SuperstarUnhealthy fan gotchasDeep streaking phaseNever OnceJean LickerSorry to the person in the windbreaker suitSad Spider-Man pointing at himself memeMeaphor judgin'The Moral of Little HornMusic or sound used that we don't own and are appreciative to not be sued over: "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat WorldAn explanation of "sagging middle syndrome" from Jenna Moreci's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@JennaMoreci) is extracted from a video titled "How to Combat Sagging Middle Syndrome in Your Writing" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gt61PWmhTc). The erasure of references to actual books and readers (in order to make it broader to apply to the uncooked middle of musical enterprises) is our own.Josh and Nick were best friends in high school and helped each other through the difficult times as sensitive boys amidst chaos. They were also big fans of dark and loud music, including albums created by people who were monsters in real life. Nick now lives in California, Josh in Georgia, but they reconnected recently to talk about what the heck they were thinking 25 years ago and how it shaped them. This is not nostalgia.

    004: Minerals of Sadness (Tourniquet)

    Josh and Nick ooze about "Tourniquet," the fourth track off Antichrist Superstar. This song and music video were the stylemaker for two impressionable boys so they approach it with bittersweet feelings. They're all bittersweet, aren't they? Except for the bitter ones. But those were the ones sprinkles with a little Sinister Spice.

    002: Save It For The Cup! (The Beautiful People)

    Josh and Nick discuss "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson, the second track of Antichrist Superstar and probably the big introduction of Manson to the people at large in 1996. It was also the opportunity for the Sweet Dreamers and Portrait Fans to snirk at the baby Manson fans. Gatekeeping is, sadly, not new.

    000: What is Facestick and Armhose?

    A quick introduction to what this is and why Josh and Nick are spending a lot of time going song by song through Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson to discuss being a teenager in the 90s, being raised in the South, and being a full-throat supporter of a man who was revealed to be a monster (but in violently more human ways than the picketers had assumed).  Josh and Nick were best friends in high school and helped each other through the difficult times as sensitive boys amidst chaos. They were also big fans of dark and loud music, including albums created by people who were monsters in real life. Nick now lives in California, Josh in Georgia, but they reconnected recently to talk about what the heck they were thinking 25 years ago and how it shaped them. This is not nostalgia.
