TRIGGER WARNING! Matt and Brett and special guest Jordan D. White are

diving into easily the heaviest comic book that’s ever been read on this

show. Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows’ polarizing, controversial ode to

H.P. Lovecraft is discussed, and things get serious. So, in all

seriousness, here’s a legit trigger warning for sexual abuse and

violence, because it’s impossible to discuss this heavy work of horror

without addressing those topics head-on.

Brett even read up on criticism of Neonomicon and Alan Moore’s general

handling of sexual violence in his work. Here’s what he read, just in

case you want more information and context.

Also… Ninja Turtle Update! Remember in episode #112 when Brett

claimed that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles once appeared on The

Oprah Winfrey Show? Brett uploaded his old VHS recording to YouTube and

you can watch it in its entirety right now!
