Ep. 146: Issei Sagawa
Episode description
What's in that suitcase that the small, sketchy-looking guy just hid in some bushes in the park in Paris late at night? Do yourself a favor, and just skip straight to calling the police. This week, Hannah tells Katy the story of Issei Sagawa, the man who made the girls break their rule about shaming people's sexual kinks (when they involve killing other people, you get all the shame). Without giving away too many spoilers here are some things to look forward to in this episode: Katy getting tasked with all the French pronunciation, a discussion about how you learn how to masturbate, strict instructions on what to do with Hannah's pants if she's ever murdered, and many ill-timed puns.
That being said, here are your CONTENT WARNINGS:
- Cannibalism
- Graphic descriptions
Pour the drinks, perhaps put down the snacks, and proceed with caution!
