I am Infinite.  I am cosmic.  I am purple, obsequious, and clairvoyant.  I am POST RELEVANT.  I AM the END of the END of TIME....

Fall into the cosmic crystal oceans along the edge of the Lagoon Nebula and surf the silver tides of Aldebaran!  The time has come for the grand entrance of the Ladies of the Hour.  Let's all live in a swamp and be three dimensional!

You are about to witness the return of the Elfling herself to the show for the first time ever!  Ladies and Gentlemen,  Its Laurelle Rethke, performer, healer, and curator of the Faerie Den crystal shop in NYC.  I knew she would be perfect for investigating the deeper themes of the scene in "Under the Silver Lake" where Sam brings a gun to a hut and meets the Final Man and his three brides.  And she was!   She is!

 Laurelle and host Phil talk about what parts of the film were spooky, why she remembered UTSL as a bunch of scenes with pretty girls in them, and then we got in deep on the Moon.  We dive like dolphins into the Moon's glades of significance - as a tarot card, as a temple, as a tempest temperature taker.  We wander across the wonderland of the body's bioelectric fields , feet like salmon zodiacs transform into the apostles and figure out how many snakes Ophiucus is holding.  We cast lines to catch the queen of the Fish Tower, Mary Magdalene, and slather on the nard to understand how the Ladies of the Hour applied the medicine.  And we wonder about mystery witches wandering Mu....

Its a musical odyssey to make your honey hustle as Phil and Laurelle explore the multiversal moving picture known as "Under the Silver Lake" to a complete musical score.  Also!  A new song -- "Her Mystery School" -- debuts on the show.  The "School" rocks like a crystal shop as the lyrics linger along levels of the edge of orange mirrors -  see if you can decipher them on instagram.com/philristaino.  Plus!  All this and lowly comedy, too!!! 

Meet a real city-dwelling faerie as she skates the shapes of Persephone's fate and teaches us to cleanse our crystals in the moon light.  You'll feel the magic as real until you are dull and boring and omnipresent!
