The crew endured 2 1/2 maddening hours of Caligula, the 1979 epic porn travesty. Examining the figures and bizarre circumstances behind what could have been glorious in competent hands, the gals and Jake try to find any redeeming elements of camp, humor, or even humanity in this massive piece of shit. Perhaps Gore Vidal should have looked beyond the mastermind of Penthouse.

Are YOU ready for TEOTWAWKI? Do you have your GOOD plan? Are you a Schumer, or a man? The gals go into the world of prepping via James Wesley Rawles' list-laden masterpiece "How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It" and answer the question: Could Courtney survive the end times with just a box of band aids?

Their mothers warned them not to stand too close to the radioactive oven, but the Low Culture Boilers are drawn like Odysseus to the Sirens. This jam-packed bonus has the history (Raytheon?!), the primitive recipes (Escargot?!), and live taste tests (Amy's or Tostinos?!) of the beloved microwave. Plus Courtney's dog bullies the shit outta her.

Many remember the wild colors, vibrant textures, and zany characters of Lisa Frank. But what do we REALLY know? Rax and Courtney explore an affluent upbringing, exploitative college enterprises, coke-addled husband, and their persistent longing the woman's flimsy technicolor products!

The gals work through the final years of Playboy, particularly the cultural moment that is "The Girls Next Door", Playboy's early aughts attempt to stay relevant which only ended up shining a bright light on the decaying empire. What drove all these Midwestern beauts to the Mansion? Were the conditions really those of a geriatric prison? What would John Berger say about all this?!

In the first half of two-part bonanza, our trash culturists detail the glory years of Playboy, including: the magazine's launch using preexisting content, the proto-Hooters of Playboy Clubs, TV's Playboy After Dark, and some psychoanalysis of Hef.

Subscribe to get Pt 2 on Thursday, wherein Rax and Courtney take us through Playboy's demise, culminating in the artifact that is "The Girls Next Door", a Habsburgian glance into life with the bunnies and Hef in his final years.

Rax n Courtney salute the fine fleet of Carnival Cruises, home to 8 daily meals, windowless (and relatively affordable) prison cells, and the multi-sensory "Thrill Theater". Why even go to the hotel when you can spend your whole vacation in transit?
