    2D AGO

    Supernatural w/Luciano Marano

    In this episode, we welcome back a friend of the show, Luciano Marano, to debate the (arguably too) long-running horror series, Supernatural. We'll be focusing on seasons 1-5 as that completes the Satan-Sam vs Arch Angel-Dean arc, which is...debatably the best portion of the series.But how does Luciano feel about that? How do we feel? Doesn't matter. The dice Gods will decide our fate in the end, and we hope you'll join us for the showdown!Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don't worry... It's not too late! DO IT NOW! Also, have you checked out all of Luciano’s awesome stuff? You'll need to do that as well, or frankly, you're depriving yourself of some truly transformative horror fiction.

    The Matrix w/Matt Ruff

    For this episode we are joined by one of the PNW's most accomplished horror-sci-fi authors in Matt Ruff, author of the acclaimed 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, to debate a venerated classic of American cinema in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹.The tentacles in Ruff's world may be less robotic...the systems of control more cosmic in nature than in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹, but that certainly doesn't make them any less terrifying. Perhaps, however, it will lend him some credence with the cosmic power represented through the dice gods. We won't know until the dice come to rest.Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don't worry... It's not too late! DO IT NOW! Also, have you checked out all of Ruff’s work? You'll need to do that as well, or frankly, you're depriving yourself of some truly awesome Cosmic horror fiction!

    Deathnote (Anime) w/Nat Cassidy

    This time on Fermented Fiction, we are joined by acclaimed author of 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘺, 𝘕𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, When the 𝘞𝘰𝘭𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦, and more best-selling works to debate the much beloved Anime series, 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦.Nat is a seasoned actor as well as an author, so this is sure to be an extremely fun episode...but will he be as good under pressure as Light? Either way, we'll have to make sure our opinions aren't too critical...lest we incur the wrath of Kira. Of course, we owe our loyalty to the Dice Gods first, so let's just hope we all roll high! Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don't worry... It's not too late! DO IT NOW! Also, have you checked out all of Nat’s awesome stuff? You'll need to do that as well, or frankly, you're depriving yourself of some truly awesome horror fiction and acting appearances!

    The Monkey w/Jonny Gensler

    What up, Fermented Folks? Tonight, we bring a first-time guest to the show in Jonny Gensler, author of short fiction, military veteran, and survivor of a childhood in his own haunted house. He's here to debate Osgood Perkins' most unhinged film yet: The Monkey. Viewers of the show will know that some of our hosts aren't much for the splatter-type horror, but will this film subvert their expectations and bring them around to the other side of that argument? Perhaps... either way, the Dice Gods will have first say in how we all debate this thing. Tune in to find out. Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don't worry... It's not too late! DO IT NOW! Also, have you checked out all of Jonny’s awesome stuff?

    The Lighthouse w/Rachel Harrison

    What up, Fermented Folks? In this episode, we welcome Rachel Harrison, author of "Black Sheep," "Such Sharp Teeth," "So Thirsty," and the forthcoming "Kiss, Slay, Replay," among other top-selling horror novels and short stories. She's coming in to debate the equally acclaimed film by Robert Eggers, "The Lighthouse." Will Rachel's takes be as unhinged as this film? Did she enjoy this movie, or did the esoteric, penis-metaphor ridden veneer of a plot bludgeon her to death like Robert Pattison with an obnoxious seagull? Only time will tell, and you'll have to tune in to find out.At the end of the day, the dice gods shall decide if we are or are not fond of Defoe's proverbial lobster. We hope you'll join us for the answers to all these questions and for some wonderful insight from one of contemporary horror's perennial greats.Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared?
