In this episode, Elia and Rea have a spoiler free (actually Elia shares one minor spoiler) conversation about the horrifying works of Junji Ito. As they have read different stories by Ito, they talk about their own experiences in being introduced to his work, memorable panels and stories, and moments that Ito made them want to vomit.

Supporting talking points in this episode: Meryl Streep, gross oil, yelling at each other, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, dangerous stunts, Elia annoying Rea (A LOT)

Content Warnings: gagging noises, trypophobic descriptions, snails (a lot of snail talk), minimal spoilers, cannibalism, loud noises, oily/slimy descriptions, body horror description 

Labyrinth of the Bizarre is a podcast that reviews and discusses spec fiction, which is an umbrella term for all subgenres of science fiction and fantasy such as urban fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, superhero, and post-apocalyptic. Elia forgets the definition every episode.
