Something's foul in the air, and we swear it's not us. Your host Chad Quandt is joined by triple-threat actor/writer/wrestler James Willems (Answer For It!, Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, Funhaus) to discuss one of Junji Ito's largest works; the stinky book Gyo (known as 'Fish: Ghastly Squirming' in Japan). A 'death stench' has taken over Okinawa, followed by an army of walking rotten fish, sharks, and eventually entire improv troops of stink people. This terror tome includes The Sad Tale of the Principal Post and the legendary short story The Enigma of Amigara Fault. This podcast was made for you! Enjoy!
OFF TOPICS: anxiety in time-based games, Dead Rising, Zack Snyder apologists, Jesus the Original Wake and Bake, Bible: Infinity War
