A horrifying story of a teenage couple who live in a small village that is being overrun by spirals everywhere they turn! Including twisted, contorted middle aged men, snail people, even giant curly hair! Listen as we discuss some classic Ito comics and the many underlying themes and ideas within that you may not have thought about before. Enjoy!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
