Summary

After the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the third core slated for another shot at Japan was relegated for experimental use. But this instrument built for death would not go without taking a couple of lives of its own. Join us as we critically examine the deaths of two Manhattan Project scientists and the ignored safety protocols that could have saved them. We also try to figure out how swinging works, find that cowboy boots in a lab is definitely and aesthetic, and create a new genre of heavy metal called Demoncore.
