#132 Pretty Boys Are Poisonous - Megan Fox w/ Aaron Barry aka Jasper Ceylon

Pretty Boys Are Poisonous (2023) is a poetry collection written by actress Megan Fox. Mostly focusing on her troubled relationship with professional machine-gun Colson Baker, the poems are surprisingly adolescent for a (currently) 39-year-old mother of four. To assist me in parsing these poems, Aaron Barry, aka Jasper Ceylon, joined me for this episode.


Aaron/Jasper's work:

Officeparks w/ Noam Hessler

Officeparks is a wonderful poetry collection from Noam Hessler, and yet another winner published by Farthest Heaven. Romantic, funny, and shot through with an easy, natural experimentation, Officeparks is a real treat. I'm trying hard not to be too effusive in my praise, in case people think I'm being disingenuous, but these poems really are that good. 
Anyway, Noam and I got to talk about their approaches to poetry, how they manage to make experimentation feel so effortless, how one might write poems as songs versus films, the Russian language, and a whole lot more.

#131 This Hoe Got Roaches in Her Crib - Quan Millz w/ Slater aka Simpulacra

Quan Millz is a maestro of urban fiction. Since 2017, he has self-published over 70 books and (apparently) made more than $500,000 from titles such as Old THOT Next Door, Pastors Eat Pwussy Too, Pregnant by My Gay Stepdaddy, and, the subject of today's episode, This Hoe Got Roaches in Her Crib. It's a tale of characters who make remarkably poor decisions, and with a tone veering wildly between slapstick descriptions of triple OG cockroaches and depictions of rape and child abuse.

Helping me out was Slater, aka Simpulacra! Stay tuned for his upcoming novel Becoming.

#130 Eumeswil - Ernst Jünger w/ Brad Kelly

Eumeswil (1977) is one of Jünger's final novels, and is bizarre, inscrutable, and wonderful. It is, in many ways, a glassy dramatisation of the second volume of Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West, and also an introduction to Jünger's archetype of the anarch, a series of odd animal metaphors, a collection of fragmented musings by a survivor of two World Wars, and a whole lot more.


Helping me decode this strange book is Brad Kelly of the Method and Madness podcast!

Grendel VVept/Playing God w/ C.P. Serret

Grendel VVept is a bizarre book that I can kind of describe as Joycean cosmic horror, but that doesn't cover everything. Traveling through time and prose styles, from today to Renaissance Italy to Sumer to ages even more distant, it's disorienting in a fascinating way. Playing God, the other book of Serret's that I read for this episode, is a tight novella set in 1969 America, with a lot of teenage lesbianism. CP Serret has range.

Early on in recording (within the first five or six minutes), Serret's microphone started acting up. I ended up cutting a few minutes out, because the audio quality was so grating. Apologies to those desperate for every possible minute of Serret.

#128 Cyclomancy: The Secret of Psychic Power Control - Frank Rudolph Young w/ Capitalisimo

Cyclomancy: The Secret of Psychic Power Control (1966) is a self-help book written to give readers access to their Primal Autoconscious. Why would someone want access to their Primal Autoconscious? Because they want to have psychic powers. And why would anyone want psychic powers? If the examples given in this book are anything to go by, to make sure your wife isn't cheating on you. I reckon about half the suggested uses of the dimension-bending and physics-breaking psychic powers described in this book are to spy on your wife. How can one achieve the psychic reserves to perform these feats? By conceptualising juicy steaks. Beautiful stuff.

Joining me on my quest to fire photons at 109 times the speed of light out of my brain horns (retinas) was powerful warlock Capitalisimo of the Tooky's Mag Sidebar podcast, Library of Mass Destruction, and Drive Time Movie Night.

#127 The Decline of the West (Vol. II - Chapters I-III) - Oswald Spengler w/ Gabe 'Faustian Extraordinaire' Sinclair

I (Jack) am joined by Gabe of Tooky's Mag to talk about the first three chapters of Spengler's best book: The Decline of the West, volume II. This will hopefully be a semi-regular series where we talk about a few chapters of this book in-depth. Prepare for levels of autism never seen before or since the German Conservative Revolution.


Apologies for some choppiness with the audio--my microphone kept disconnecting. There's also no video for this episode, because my internet was misbehaving and kept cutting out. This is what it feels like to live in the senile winter of Civilisation.

#126 Welcome to the Desert of the Real - Slavoj Žižek w/ Stephen G Adubato

Welcome to the Desert of the Real (2002) is Slavoj Žižek talking about 9/11 from a Lacanian, Hegelian, Ljubljana-slobber-in-a-stained-Lenin-T-shirt perspective.

Pale Townie/American Cats Are in a Big Country w/ Tom Will

Tom Will is a poet who has, among other things, written Pale Townie (Apocalypse Confidential, 2023), a 999-line poem which keeps the heroic couplet end rhymes from Pale Fire (Nabokov/Shade) intact, while transforming the story into something quite different, very Tom Will. He's also recently published American Cats Are in a Big Country (2024, Farthest Heaven), a collection of 73 poems, all of which are very much worth your time and love.


We got to talk about the process of writing Pale Townie, why limericks are so funny, prose poems, clunk, Tom's future projects, and a lot more.


Tom tends to pace while talking. I decided to keep these parts and leave them unedited, because the full Tom Will experience involves periods of muffled audio and sudden clear exclamations. To deny these parts would be to deny the fullness of communication.

#125 The System's Neatest Trick - Theodore Kaczynski

Written in prison in 2002, The System's Neatest Trick is an essay from Kaczynski's Technological Slavery. In it, Kaczynski describes how 'the System' - more or less a technological society - redirects the popular frustration caused by its intrusions into human life, and its subversion of the power process. Where does it redirect this frustration? Into 'activist' causes, both as a pressure-release valve on popular discontent, and as a way to expedite the social changes required for an expansion of technological slavery.

#124 Sex and Character - Otto Weininger w/ Nina Power

Otto Weininger, at the age of 23, published Sex and Character, an idealist justification for not trusting the cosmic Woman, as well as an extended rumination on genius, sexual compatibility, Judaism, memory, ethics, and logic, all upon the background of his sexual fears. Shortly after the book's tepid critical reception, including accusations of plagiarism, Weininger rented a room in the building where Beethoven died. Here, he shot himself in the chest, gaining himself a number of posthumous admirers, including August Strindberg and Ludwig Wittgenstein.


Joining me for this episode is the woman of many talents (but no Genius), Nina Power.

The Everlasting w/ Lewis Woolston

The Everlasting is an excellent short story collection by Australia's favourite son, Lewis Woolston. Many of these stories are inspired by his upbringing among Jehovah's Witnesses in Western Australia, addiction, working bad jobs to stave off poverty, and, despite everything, having the fortitude to find a place of stability. This is Lewis' second time on the show - if you want to hear more from him, we did a previous episode where we talked about another of his short story collections, Remembering the Dead.

#123 Wake in Fright - Kenneth Cook w/Sini and Fresta from Getting Lit

Wake in Fright (1961) is an Australian novel about a pushover Sydney city boy's experiences in Broken Hill-inspired Bundanyabba. Here, he loses all of his money gambling, is constantly drunk, knife fights kangaroos, tries to shoot himself, and much more. To help me gush over this sinister and very funny book, I enlisted the help of Matthew Sini and Matthew Fresta of the lovely Getting Lit podcast.
For the second part of this conversation, where we talk about the 1971 film adaptation of Wake in Fright, check out the Getting Lit podcast.

#122 Irene Iddesleigh - Amanda McKittrick Ros

Financed by her husband as a 10th wedding anniversary present and published in 1897, Irene Iddesleigh is a romance story featuring extremely mercurial characters, bizarre pacing, and the most insane purple prose in existence. Really, The Eye of Argon reads like a physics textbook in comparison.

#121 The Transmaxxing Manifesto - Vintologi

Transmaxxing is when natal males make themselves into women in order to live a materially better life. The Transmaxxing Manifesto lays out why men would (that is, should) want to become women, why an essential gender identity doesn't exist, how to 'girl-mode', why men are useless, and how to bring about a global authoritarian transmaxxing state in which 5% of the population are breeding males, 50% are natal females, and the 45% of men insufficiently masculine to breed are forced to take oestradiol and live as women.

Link to the manifesto: https://www.scribd.com/document/720824358/Transmaxxing14

On High at Red Tide w/ Gabriel Hart

On High at Red Tide is a rough, scruffy, lovely, unsettling, surf-noir novel written by Gabriel Hart, a novelist, poet, musician, and reporter (among many things). We got to talk about petrifying trazedone hallucinations, the parallels between alcoholism and possession, meth, why it's always wrong to kill someone, LA subcultures, and a whole lot more.
