This Halloween, we're taking a little trip to the spiral-cursed town of Kurouzu-cho, and descending deep into the madness of Adult Swim's latest attempt at adapting the Junji Ito cosmic horror classic Uzumaki! There's a lot to talk about: one of the best pilots of all time, speculative production issues, the pacing of horror, allying with Snyder-bros against Warner Bros, flying street gangs, post-credits shakeups, pandemic apathy, the Saw franchise, the dangers of obsession, H.P Lovecraft, and more! Pack your Diazepam, cause we're going deep into the spiral!
NOTE: Uzumaki contains depictions of body and cosmic horror as well as self-harm, and this episode contains discussions of these topics. Discretion is advised.
