In Nino Cipri's Finna two co-workers, formerly a couple, have to track down a customer who has gone missing from a Scandinavian big-box store... into the multiverse.

Shannon Strucci (Struggle Session, Critical Bits, YouTube and elsewhere) joins us for a COVID-related reading series followed by Sweet Home, a webcomic about people having to self-isolate because of a virus.

Wendy Liu joins us to talk about her journey into the darkness of tech industry and out into the blinding light of leftist critique, with your hosts frequently threatening to parody-satire various tech figures in Call of Duty. Music by WAKE and Ruins of Beverast

Dan Franklin has literally written the book on heavy metal, taking us from Tony Iommi's fingertips through to modern bands like Oathbreaker and Conjurer. We of course have to perform a full Cred Check by having everybody name the heaviest song ever recorded.

We're joined by A.M Gittlitz, producer of The Antifada podcast and author of I Want to Believe: Posadism and Left Wing Ufology.

There is no consent under capitalism - that's the bold tagline slash thesis statement of KM Szpara's Docile, which imagines a future world in which you can eliminate your debt if you let creepy trillionaires do Epstein stuff to you. Music by Smoulder and Ulver Become slaves to our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/DeathSentence

You made us do this. We read what is officially the worst thing that either of us have ever read: Supermarket, by Bobby Hall aka also known as Logic. There's an insanely predictable plot, crude ethnic stereotypes, mishandled representations of mental illness and a twist you'll see coming not just from a mile off, but from 1999, when Fight Club was released. Cleanup on aisle nine for an absolute stinking heap of crap. Music by TOMBS and Fluisteraas

We're joined by J.G Michael of the Parallax View podcast to talk about Richard Stanley's The Colour Out of Space, based on HP Lovecraft's short story. Music by Integrity and Feminazgul Subscribe to our Patreon why not: https://www.patreon.com/DeathSentence
