After the weekly SitRep (vaccination numbers, fish tanks, and mask peer pressure) we jump right into the second season of Beastars. Macho lions and meat-eating deer? A wolf in drag? The hallucination with the moth?? We’re very confused, but we do know the homoerotic subtext is text and goes to a really dark place.
After that we talk about the latest episode of Lore Olympus and how it’s going to freaking kill us to wait three weeks to find out what happens, but going by the look on Daphne’s face, it’s nothing good.
So if all that wasn’t dark enough, a discussion about helicopters segues into a talk about death, dismemberment, and illegal organ “procurement” that was so hilariously horrifying we stuck in a content warning just in case you want to skip it.
(It’s not that we’re sorry we went so dark, we’re just sorry we didn’t wait for October. Now we’ll have to dig up something even more horrible for Halloween, goshdarnit…)

The outro music this week is a clip from Just Wondering by Maarten Schellekens.
The really dark and disturbing part of the episode is from roughly 38:26 to 43:15, in case you’d like to jump past it.
Here’s some photos Capn Slack got of his and Kathryn’s new fish tank setup with the AT-AT.
Here’s the article on CBR.com we mentioned that has a few tidbits on the making of Beastars.
Here’s the preview pages for the Lore Olympus book.
This is the link to the Tri-State Crematory Scandal article on wikipedia.
And this is the Swindled Podcast episode that talks about both the Crematory Scandal and the illegal organ harvesting. It’s a fascinating episode, but not for the faint of heart.
