Episode description

Enlisting the incendiary voices of old friends Filthy Armenian, of Filthy Armenian's Adventures and the Back Wall, and Jack Mason, of the Perfume Nationalist, the conversation turns towards the formerly retired pop cultural trope that is the damaged blonde, once again alive and well!

Two of the most discussed cultural artifacts right now revive the damaged blonde to Promethean proportions!

First, we have Ryan Murphy's new Netflix series, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, in which Evan Peters the titular iconic cannibalistic serial killer. A disjointed and weird program, the show often feels like two diametrically opposed shows stacked on top of one another. One, a delightfully and almost comically extreme torture porn, and the other, a comically absurd and ridiculous BLM propaganda piece.

Next, we have filmmaker Andrew Dominik's Blonde, a visually sumptuous and undeniably extreme horror film masquerading as a biopic of Marilyn Monroe, played by the most beautiful actress alive Ana de Armas, and inarguably the greatest work of film art of this decade.
