SMASHED!

This week, hosts Scott Kemper, author Michael Patrick Hicks, and Matt Brandenburg are joined by Kyle Rader, author of My BFF Satan, to discuss the work of Junji Ito, Ito's short story "Smashed," and how it relates to '80s PSAs and Gallagher. We also review the Kristen Stewart horror flick Underwater, Wile E. Young's splatterpunk western Magpie Coffin, Victor LaValle's The Devil in Silver, and the films Sea Fever and The Blind Dead.
