S06E2 Da Bombastus
from The Z List Dead List
In this episode we admire the father of toxicology, of psychotherapy, of evidence based medicine... but not as much as he admired himself. The self proclaimed king of doctors also a drunk who rubbed poo on knives and wrote a recipe for homunculus. Was he a genius or just an ego maniac? Steve Cross and Iszi argue it out. Watch out - quite a bit of fruity language in this episode.
