This week Kelly and Katai subject themselves to WALK OF THE SPIRITS by their former friend, Richie Tankersley Cusick, a barely there ghost story glorifying the Confederacy??? They talk racism, slavery erasure, and, unfortunately, more. It goes badly.

This week Kelly and Katai read I’M STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT THIS BLACK BOX OF DOOM by Jason Parkin, the story of a girl, a boy, and a black box traveling across the country stirring internet conspiracy theories along the way. They talk lack of story, too many monologues, liking the characters, liking the humor, but overall find it to be less than the sum of its parts.
