Adam drops by his pal and New York-based contemporary artist Mathieu Malouf's apartment in Chinatown to catch up and they let the hot takes roll. No coherence or theme to this one folks, just straight up raw, transgressive chit chat between canceled art bros. Topics of discussion include: The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and John Frusicante's heroin use, Roman Polanski, Lenny Kravitz's scarves, Jack Nicholson's secret gay sex with Roger Corman, the incoherent gender theory of Paul B. Preciado, the oppressive radical liberalism of Ana Texeira Pinto, the excellent pornographic biopic that should be made about Basquiat, Steely Dan, meme lord CumWizard, Mathieu's attempt to make a film about the Kardashians while his wife, the photographer Heji Shin, shot them for a magazine, and god knows what else.  (note: Adam and Mathieu also have a conversation soon to be published in the Berlin-based contemporary art journal Gruppe http://gruppemagazine.com/, be on the lookout for that too!)
